The Doctor: Right now, I’m a stranger to myself. There’s echoes of who I was and a sort of call towards who I am. And I have to hold my nerve and trust all these new instincts. Shape myself towards them. I’ll be fine. In the end. Hopefully. I have to be. Because you guys need help. ‘Cause there’s one thing I’m certain of, when people need help, I never refuse. Right. This is going to be fun! (The Woman Who Fell To Earth)
And this graphic novel explores how the Doctor "chooses" during regeneration. There are 13 vignettes or "echoes" from past lives as her persona and appearance form that touch on key concepts that drive this Doctor: hope, trickery, protectiveness, friendship, preparedness, gender fluidity, cleverness, clemency, healing, non-violence, persuasion, confidence in self and others, helping/saving, childlike wonder.

Hurrah for a FEMALE Doctor Who! and in my lifetime! Like I never could have seen this in my lifetime being a thing, as sad as that sounds, so with much love, I read issue #0 which is a bit of an introduction and sendoff all at the same time as I got to say goodbye Capaldi and hello Whitaker.
It starts with The Twelfth Doctor's final moments into the regeneration into the Thirteenth. Told via flashbacks encompassing all the previous incarnations, including the War Doctor, this issue takes the reader along pivotal memories of each, asking the big question of "Who is the Doctor?" This is a nice intro into the various doctors, as told through one writer and 10 different illustrators, I found that this issue could be really useful to new fans as well as a refresher for people like myself that got caught in the middle from past to current.
