Doctor Who, the Ninth Doctor: Doctormania, Volume 2, Issues 1-5 by Adriana Melo, Chris Bolson, Cavan Scott, Cris Bolson
4.0
(Spoilers are for the TV show rather than the comic itself)
I'm glad these were made after The Doctor had regenerated several times because it helps fit the stories neatly into canon without any handwaving or retconning and lets them include lots of references for fans. But, saying that, it took me literally until the last page to realise that Mickey's (silent) wife is actuallyMartha Jones ...he literally just calls her "my wife" the entire time ðŸ˜. My memory is terrible, and I had completely forgotten what happened to Mickey and Martha once The Doctor left them , so I spent the whole time trying to figure out what bizarre parallel universe this comic was set in 🙈
They included lots of flashbacks at the start of that issue showing Mickey with The Doctor and Rose in the past, so we knew who he was, but they never mentionedMartha outside of her just being "Mickey's wife", which is a bit rude to Martha , I think! One quick panel of her with Ten would have been very helpful to me at least 😂
Anyway, I love that this is a whole series with recurring characters etc. rather than self-contained books, and I really enjoyed this one. Looking forward to the rest!
