Trapped in a nightmare of banality, betraying his friends, which reveal to be his most miserable days - its brilliant testament to the character of the Doctor. Brilliant ideas, and beautiful throughout to read - even with the dulled colours as it begins in its common days, its drawn and designed so well. Fantastic. joeymapes21 View profile Like Liked 0 16 November 2024 · 76 words Review by 15thDoctor Spoilers This review contains spoilers! The Doctor’s biggest nightmare, living the life of a coward who turns in his friends to the communist(?) ruling party. It’s a perfect summation of everything The Doctor is not in the surprising and evocative setting of a dystopian, highly controlled society. This is a one shot that gets every panel right and doesn’t outstay its welcome. With anniversary appearances from some familiar faces (poor Harry!) I would love to see this concept explored on TV. 15thDoctor View profile Like Liked 0 Open in new window Statistics AVG.
