It's pretty wild to me that there's a Doctor Who comic written by Alan Moore, a legend in the industry, but here we are! Of the several he has written, this is my first - a short back-up story from the early days of the Doctor Who magazine called the Special Executive. To be honest, at only four pages long, the story isn't very substantial, and I didn't get much out of this introduction. It was, to me, a curiosity in the franchise history with a couple of dark moments done well that stood out, more than an entertaining read. That's profoundly disappointing for a comic by Alan Moore though not to the extent the comic can be written off as entirely bad, either, just something that feels incomplete and wasn't ever really followed up on. I am curious about other stories with the Special Executive but it does seem like they are largely independent of Doctor Who media. It's a shame because Black Sun Rising had a lot of potential to do some interesting stuff with the Time Lords and Sontarans.
