Here’s the story:
Zigma, an artist from the future, has a figure that happens to be 'a vicious, alien killer' trapped in a painting.
So he decides to put it on display for everyone to see, for some reason?
Then the Doctor lets it out, for some reason?
The 2D figure goes on a rampage, and Zigma reveals he encountered it before and got licky by spilling paint on it. Hence why it was stuck in the painting.
The Doctor, Amy and Rory then gear up with spray paint cans and spray it to the wall. The Doctor especially has way too much fun wearing an artist beret and in a gleeful moment utters the words: 'That's it, Ponds! Keep up the attack!'
This, of course, is a deliberate homage to the 2nd Doctor’s 'Die, hideous creature, die!'
The story finishes back where it started with the figure trapped in the wall again. Then, despite it being the Doctor's fault for letting the figure out of the painting, he just leaves now that he’s had his fun and lets ‘some friends in this time period’ deal with sending it home.
I'm not expecting much from DWA strips but at the very least I expect the Doctor to be recognisable. I guess the real Two-Dimensional killer in this story was this character assassination.
