Ah, The Tenth Doctor. Simultaneously one of my favourite incarnations of The Doctor, and one of my least favourite Dr Who books. A little harsh perhaps, as objectively it is always a pretty decent quality book, but stacked up against the other Who books it tends to drop to the bottom of the pile for me quite consistently. I look forward to the times when writer Nick Abadzis can change my mind, and the beginning of a new story arc last month did just that. ‘Sharper Than A Serpent’s Tooth’ was inventive, interesting, and fun enough that this month’s issue wasn’t one of the last to read.
Last issue saw The Doctor, Gabby and Noobis (a memory wiped Anubis) end up in Ancient China. Cindy had been kidnapped by a red Tardis (pretty cool,...

Quite the frustrating book for me this one. I continually struggle to enjoy it, but also continually will it on to make me change my mind. To make it worse, I can’t quite put my finger on what exactly doesn’t quite work. In comparison to other Who books, Nick Abadzis does write quite light scripts, in tone and sometimes content, and the art has generally been of the cartoony, all-ages type I am not a huge fan of. But, at the risk of triggering déjà vu again, let’s see if this issue can change my mind.
So The Doctor has been travelling with official companion Gabby Gonzalez, and unofficial companion Cindy Wu. Although the best of friends, adventuring in the Tardis has strained their relationship a little, and they have certainly altered the Doctor-single companion dynamic.
