The Death of Doctor Who by Noe Geric 4/2/20
This is perhaps the greatest Doctor-lite story I've seen in the DWM. We follow a team of villains the Doctor previously defeated, and we saw them trying to find out how to kill the Doctor. But he seems one of them is their greatest enemy and they try to find out who.
The story is comical, perhaps too comical because of the drawing. The script is funny, and we've got many cameos of previous Doctors and companions.
The main characters (the villains) are funny; they represent exactly the different eras of the show: one of them is in black and white, the other is a horribly designed monster like in the Tom Baker years... They're all well written, and the mystery of which one is the Doctor is entertaining. Of course, the true Doctor and Martha appear at the end, when everyone is dead. The Doctor tells us that, even if they were his enemies, he wanted to save them, showing the more human side of the tenth Doctor even in the only page where he appears.
Langridge's drawing are comical, as ever, but it doesn't spoil the story. He gets them exactly like they needed to be. Of course, some panels are really too comical for a Doctor Who story. But it was a nice experience. Jonathan Morris shows us again how good he is with a clever idea, even if the story doesn't feature the Doctor until the end.
A quite clever script with a nice idea, some good characters and a little cameo from past Doctors. 9/10
