Review of The Fourth Wall by JayPea

This review contains spoilers!

Look, I know I'm biased, but this is just really fun.

Firstly, I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I absolutely adore a format screw, or a clever use of medium. Comics attacking people was sort of done in a free comic book day story, but that was super short and more using it as a reference to free comic book day than using the medium to its fullest. Here though it's done spectacularly, a mad mashup of Fear Her and The Unbelieveable Gwenpool, diagetic comic panels, the doctor breaking out to see the 'world' beyond the walls, communiating with Clara from inside the comic, it's all just a blast.

The return of The Boneless too is interesting, love a monster coming back and being used in ways that are both interesting and expanding on their original concept, and that's sure done here.

And then we come to my bias. I love the Forbidden Planet megastore in London, hell, at time of writing this review I was there just last week, a story set there is obviously going to entice me. But even moreso than that, you can just tell that the artist love that store as much as I do, there's careful attention paid to make it look as close as it can to the original and I appreciate that so so much.

Rachael Stott, thank you so much for making this comic for me.
