I read issues 1-4 and won't be collecting any more. The story is ok - there's a full arc in those 4 issues - but the art is questionable at best and there are a couple of glaring grammatical errors in issues 2 and 3. (Lucy's a reporter, she should know her object pronouns!!) I don't know why DW comics are so bad for likenesses. There are a couple of panels in #3 that get the mains right, but there is no place where the child Jennifer (how is she 11 when 8 years ago she was an infant?) looks anyth I read issues 1-4 and won't be collecting any more.

This little bit of nostalgia is a fun way to revisit old friends. The 12th Doctor has not seen his Christmas companions in eight years but as usual appears with a mysterious quest to save the universe. Lives are upended and adventures abound. The story is told in narrative fashion through the eyes of Lucy whose love and devotion to her family takes center stage. The Doctor is enigmatic as always, never divulging any more information than needed and asking more than anyone is prepared to give.

The Doctor is enigmatic as always, never divulging any more information than needed and asking more than anyone is prepared to give. This was a fun, quick romp through the universe full of questionable physics that drive even more implausible plot lines. For the Doctor Who fan, it ticks all the right boxes. As a graphic novel, it feels more like fast food than literary genius or a masterpiece of art.

Sigh. If there was a format that could take the Doctor Who Superhero idea and make it work it would be comics, but... Nope. WAY too much nonsense, poorly plotted, structured, paced and edited. Trying to teach Grant a lesson about not just punching his way through problems only to punch his way into the solution. Yawn. Booring. I am kinda shocked because George Mann is solid. but perhaps that just goes to show that superheroes in Who don't work after all. For a more detailed review, visit www.tra Sigh.

I've always thought "The Return of Doctor Mysterio" was kinda meh, so I was hoping this comic would make it feel less like a throwaway story. And it kinda does. The superhero stuff does translate better somewhat in comic book format. The setting is able to get grander, and there's some gorgeous art. But I thought the ending was a bit of a cop-out.

Great tale revisiting the Peter Capaldi led Christmas special and the welcome return of The Ghost,bringing superheroes to the world of Doctor Who. Another impressive outing from the reliable pen of George Mann,who seems to excel with licensed characters such as The Doctor and Judge Dredd.

Nice overall artwork, with some very pretty and colourful panels! The story itself is mediocre, but at least we get to see another story with Grant and his family as protagonists, who I really liked in the TV series.

Read issue 1. Okay. How does the artist make the Doctor look nothing like Capaldi?

A brilliant graphic novel sequel to one of my favourite episodes!
