Acari vessel, Fifth Dimensional Space, TARDIS Synopsis While the Tenth Doctor gives his new companions, Emily Winter and Matthew Finnegan, a tour of the TARDIS, the vessel is invaded by a number of dimension-hopping aliens. The Advocate places doubt into Matthew Finnegan's mind about the Doctor's morality, while the Tef'Aree have much the same effect upon Emily Winter. Meanwhile, the proximate cause of the invasion — the breech of the TARDIS by the Acari spaceship —forces the TARDIS interior to rearrange itself. Because the Doctor is psychically linked to the TARDIS, this trauma causes the Doctor to undergo temporary mental instability and his past selves begin to bleed through. Only by disengaging from the Acari ship and quickly restoring the proper console room will the Doctor's tenth persona fully reassert itself.

Dramatic wonderings in the TARDIS! The Doctor’s new companions are put through their paces and you can already see The Advocate working to undermine the group. There is a good mix of new and old, with satisfying back references to Adric and Turlough being used to manipulate the new companion, without it feeling fanwanky. This nostalgia is offset by the trippy fourth dimension sequences that could only be successfully carried off in comic book form. This is far better than a typical TARDIS-bound story and helps develop the new characters. I am really impressed at how good this run of comics has become, my expectations after the first few was low - but this is much stronger stuff. And pleasingly, each story leads into each other. I can’t wait to see what happens next. 15thDoctor View profile Like Liked 0 Open in new window Statistics AVG. Rating313 members 3.70 / 5 GoodReads AVG.
