I found this funny, though much punchier in the first half before the story starts to wander. There is definitely room in my life for out and out comedy Doctor Who, and its an interesting snapshot in time, in what now looks to me as the "early internet era". Definitely tonally in keeping with Matt Smith's first series of Doctor Who.

Note I have a background in reviewing comics so my opinions may be slightly skewed with higher-than-normal standards, but really, I'm just reviewing it like any Doctor Who story.

My issue with Spam Filtered is how dated it feels. The TARDIS gets inundated with spam ads in holographic form. The humour really didn't work for me, though. Clippy, regurgitating real-world phishing ads, making fun of people falling for online scams, it's really nothing new under the sun, here. The Scroungers are kind of making fun of vulnerable people who are spammed online. We now know that these types of content are deliberately designed to weed out people with critical thinking and preying on those more easily tricked and gullible. I don't find the situation very fun, or at least I have gotten tired of these jokes in the twenty or so years they've been around.

I'm also really not a fan of the art by Andrew Currie. He does an okay job at making Amy, Rory, and the Doctor look semi-realistic, but often has them in poses and facial expressions that are very odd and don't fit the panel in question.

It will be interesting to revisit DW11. I had the Worlds Collide graphic novel for years and it was my first Doctor Who comic. Will this series hold up? So far, it doesn't look good.

I enjoyed this story, although I can imagine it being a little controversial. It's a bit silly and inconsequential, but a great laugh with personified holographic versions of Amy and Rory's emails, and a stapler that will remind you of a certain Microsoft Word assistant. It feels quite Douglas Adams-eque
