An impressive start to a new series. I like how broad and all encompassing it is until it decides to zone in on a particular villain, who is in turn unwittingly working for a bigger villain quite unlike any that we are used to in Doctor Who. Looking forward to seeing where this goes!

The Fifteenth Doctor #13

'Scream' Free Comic Book Day (2024) from Titan Comics.

Straight off the bat, the art-style here is gorgeous, and it's a great introduction to Everyone Must Go! - essentially serving as the pre-title sequence in a very effective way. Immediately establishes a some good communication between The Doctor and Ruby in the TARDIS, a few highlights of The Doctor's past, establishing an entity attempting to make him afraid. A fun brisk mini-adventure in 18th century Yorkshire and a stellar final panel.

This one is by far one of my faourite Doctor Who comics, which is great considering that it's free. There are so many callbacks here to past stories such as The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit and Name Of The Doctor, which is extremely satisfying as a major fan of the show.

The story itself is extremely interesting, concerning Dick Turpin obtaining a Cyber-blaster in the Eighteenth Century. It's similar to the non-Who series Renegade Nell, in the way it combines the era of highwaymen and women with heightened elements from another genre (in this case, sci-fi). I really admire the decision to set this in Yorkshire, as Eighteenth Century York makes for a great setting that's rarely used in sci-fi in general.

A story which is basically all set-up for the upcoming Titan run, which is expected. It's the free comic book day story, I wasn't expecting much. I will say however it makes me wish Ncuti had a more consistent outfit on TV. His CoRR fit looks so good throughout this issue, especially when it's paired with a horse and Tri-corn hat, it's a shame we won't see it used much on the main show.

I really like this strip. The art is lovely and the main characters are captured well. The plot itself, while short, is solid and interesting. It definitely hooked me for the main series.
