To state that the transformation of the 12th
Doctor Who to a female 13th Doctor is controversial is a huge
understatement.
Doctor Who fans around the world have either praised the
move or loathed it. Either way, like the
Doctor, his/her newest manifestation has/will have its share of surprises.
Titan Comics and
author Richard Dinnick and an impressive roster of top-notch artists present a
retrospective of sorts of the Doctor’s various lives in Doctor Who The Thirteenth Doctor: The Many Lives Of Doctor.
Here’s the catch.
This is more than a hodgepodge conglomeration of short stories. Each story drops clues as to why the 13th
Doctor came about and why as a woman.
Strategically sprinkled throughout the various tales are
cleverly hidden hints as to unexpected gender swap of the latest Doctor.
It takes a little detective work but the clues are
there. I had fun pulling out the various
puzzle pieces and putting them together.
And I’m sure readers will too.
The Doctor is back and is exciting, full-of-surprises and
as quirky as ever. Don’t miss this very
special issue.
