Such a great comic. It delves masterfully into the duality at the hearts of all Doctors - and especially this one - while giving the TARDIS team interesting things to do. I think Ryan shines most here, arguably more than he ever did on TV, but Yaz is also once again characterised by her deep love and concern for 13. I love that she is the one to convince the others to get out of the TARDIS and help 13 against her will.

This story builds upon the previous issues, and upon the Dogbolter family, created by Steve Parkhouse in the 80s for the Fifth and Sixth Doctors' comics. This gives the DWM comic strip some nice internal continuity. The epic scale of the story and the parts in the Catastrophia also echo the Eighth Doctor's story The Glorious Dead, which was written by the same author as this one - Scott Gray.

Finally, Mother G - a mysterious but helpful figure who had cameoed in every story up to this one and finally gets to play a bigger role - is a great idea for a character, and I hope she gets brought back at some point.
