Synopsis

In 19th-century Copenhagen, a young boy named Erik spots what appear to be floating snowflakes in midair that he nicknames "frost bees" while walking with his mother, but she tells him off for seeing things as it is a midsummer's day. However, a passerby notices a whirlwind approaching from the north that freezes everything it touches, including the sea itself. A nearby sailor spots something else in the blizzard too - a blue box.

This story has the Fifteenth Doctor's voice and vibe down really well, but I'm not sure how much he fits into this particular story. Either way though, I liked this story fine.

C. Maybe B.

this story didnt go the way i thought it was going but it was definitely interesting i think i struggled as a dyslexic person to pronounce the names used in the comic tho

I did not care for the setting or characters, which made this really hard to get invested in. There were some interesting ideas with the Snow Queen inspired villain, but this was not capitalised on well.

The Fifteenth Doctor #08

'The Hans of Fear' (2024) from Doctor Who Magazine 604-607.


Certainly not my favourite of Fifteen's stories thus far - although that's primarily down to me know being familiar with the source material. It just feels a little nonsensical without that context, and very comic-booky with the Snedronningen villain. Ruby has a fun presence - I wish she got to keep the wings for longer - but The Doctor's techno-babble is a little grating and I don't find Hans to be all too interesting.
