Synopsis

There's a devil out on the bayou, or so they say... Something stalking bluesmen through the swamps of Mississippi, offering them talent beyond imagining, worlds at their feet - in exchange for their souls! When Alice asks the Doctor if they can visit one of her mother's musical heroes, she's initially disappointed. Is Jones, a forgettable singer whose talent seems to be that of disappearing in a crowded room, really the colossal talent who brought passion, creativity and meaning to her mother's life? And what does he have to do with the nightmarish deals taking place in the dead of night...?

A fine enough Story that just kinda is average to me. I love how we introduce our new Companion here, when he just follows the Doctor and Alice, and they don’t notice it for a bit. The Story itself is very meh and not too much notable, I find.

This is my favorite story in this series so far! Very atmospheric and I loved the accidental kidnapping of the singer. The overarching story continues to unfold and I’m loving it!

I feel very similarly about this comic as I do the previous instalment. There is an interesting and unique setting, which quickly falls into well worn possession tropes. The Titan 11th Doctor stories so far have been very shallow, potentially because they have all been one shots.

If you are going to have characters based on David Bowie, or Jimmie Rodgers I’m not sure why you wouldn’t just feature those actual musicians in the story. These characters are never truly fleshed out - the point of the Bowie character is even that he is two dimensional, which never really goes anywhere.

Once again, this 11th Doctor Titan run is showing promise with interesting premises but as it is not sticking the landing, it has yet to properly get started.

Interesting way to introduce a new companion(?), I like the setting things up here a lot as well, just hope they don’t do what Moffat did with 11 and it actually pays off

This comic probably has one of the best hooks of any Doctor Who comic I've read recently. Moreover, the art is good and the characters are strong as always. However, I found the plot a little messy and rushed. It's definitely a cool concept, but something about its execution just felt off to me.
