The Thirteenth Doctor #6

'The Warmonger' (2019) from Doctor Who Magazine 531-534.

Very much starting to see the corporatisation of warfare cropping up as a theme in almost every DWM story that I've read so far in my Doctor Who extended media journey. I'm not against it, it's just interesting to mention how often it's occurring. A neat idea here of a kaiju-type fight taking place in a real city that's getting decimated, all for the enjoyment of some kind of virtual reality sensory experience? When the curtain starts to get pulled back in these types of stories, the payoff tends to not secure the concept as well for me. Nice to see Graham and Ryan having some fun in the mix though - wish there was more of that here.
