Thirteenth Doctor comics, this has a fun idea at its heart but reading it is a bit of a plod. The Doctor and the fam investigating a Krampus takeover of Santa's workshop ought to be a delight... but the whole thing is for some reason bogged down in the conceit that they already did this but had their memories erased, so they spend most of the comic not really doing anything except figuring out what they might have done last time. I appreciate that the comics decided to give us a Christmas special in an era where the tv programme has abandoned it, but it lacks Christmas sparkle, and doesn't really say anything about Christmas, either; it's just trappings on a pretty ordinary story.
I read an issue of Titan's Doctor Who comic every day (except when I
have hard-copy comics to read). Next up in sequence: A Tale of Two Time Lords: A Little Help from My Friends
