REVIEW: “Doctor Who – The 13th Doctor, Volume 2” With Jodie Whittaker’s second season as the 13th Doctor delayed until 2020, fans of Doctor Who are left to turn to other mediums to get their fix of new Doctor Who stories. Thankfully, Titan Comics continues to put out new 13th Doctor comics each and every month. And they’re really good, too, with each arc comprising a single storyline that feels like a complete episode of the series! Doctor Who – The 13th Doctor, Volume 2 by Jody Houser, illustrated by Rachael Stott and Roberta Ingranata A mysterious podcast leads the Doctor, Yaz, Graham, and Ryan throughout history as they work out how they’re involved in its creation and just who’s behind “Hidden Human History”. Much like the previous volume, this volume of the 13th Doctor comic tells an all-new story with the 13th Doctor and her new friends. And also like that first volume, this storyline is a really good one. I really like it when comics that are based on TV shows do something unique that the TV show can’t do (usually for budgetary reasons) and that’s exactly what this volume of the 13th Doctor comic did. The story takes place in multiple different time periods and multiple different locations, each issue featuring wholly different characters, all tied together by an overarching “villain” and an overarching mystery. Each issue isn’t particularly long, so were the four to be adapted word-for-word, it would probably end up being about the length of an average episode of Doctor Who . But it’d be a really, really good episode. The mystery is an interesting one and it’s explored and solved in a very interesting manner. I like it when shows and comics use modern day technology and pop culture as a way of creating mystery and the use of a podcast as the central mystery of this storyline works out really, really well. If anything, I’d have liked to have seen the podcast play an even bigger role in the story. But, as it is, it was a lot of fun. Jody Houser continues to expertly capture the voices of all of the characters. With every word she writes, you immediately hear those words in the voices of whichever character says them. She writes the 13th Doctor with all of the personality quirks unique to that Doctor – instead of just writing the character as a generic “Doctor” as many do during the first season or two of any new Doctor’s era. She also captures the voices of Yaz, Graham, and Ryan perfectly, imbuing them with all the nuances of their relationships that are found within the TV series and exploring those nuances in interesting ways. Through the usage of the podcast in this storyline, we get the chance to see something that’s bonded all three of our human characters together and it’s nice to see them all so easily relate to something they like. Houser, of course, doesn’t just perfectly capture the essence of the characters from the TV series, but she also creates unique and enjoyable new ones – including having some characters she introduced in the previous volume return in this one! But I won’t say anything more about that, except that I hope they continue to be recurring characters in the 13th Doctor’s comics. The illustrations throughout this book continue to be some of the most beautiful artwork I’ve seen in any comic in ages. This time, Rachael Stott is joined by Roberta Ingranata (who takes over illustrations for the last three issues int his volume). Like Houser, Stott and Ingranata perfectly capture the essences of these characters that we know and love from the TV series. They bring such emotion and wonderful facial expressions to these characters, so much that they truly feel alive. They do great work in action scenes, ensuring that each page has a certain flow to it and that each panel drives the readers into the next one, creating tension through the way any given page is laid out and through what is actually shown in any given panel. In terms of new aliens and new environments, Stott and Ingranata are given a whole lot to play with as they are asked to illustrate three different time periods/locations – a feat which they do with perfect ease. Each location has a distinct look – and even a distinct color palette, though that’s down to the work of the colorist, Enrica Eren Angiolini. Stott and Ingranata are also asked to design another entirely new alien for the Doctor to face off against and their designs for this volume are a perfect blend of relatable and frightening. It’s a design that really could only work within the pages of a comic and I love it. Stott’s (and now Ingranata’s) illustrations continue to be such a shining aspect of these 13th Doctor comics and I hope they both continue on the title for a nice, long time. All in all, this second volume of the ongoing 13th Doctor comic series is another great entry. Featuring an interesting, well-written mystery; some compelling old and new characters; and a whole lot of really incredible artwork, this comic is a must-read for fans of Doctor Who . It provides a really nice fix of new 13th Doctor stories while we all await Jodie Whittaker’s second season as the Doctor. This volume features a wholly original story that probably could never have worked as an actual episode of Doctor Who , a fact which only makes the story that much more interesting. Read this graphic novel for the story, read it for the amazing artwork, or read it for a fix of new Doctor Who . But, regardless, just read it. Doctor Who: The Thirteenth Doctor Has War, Demons, and a Suspicious Podcast. The Tardis takes the Doctor and her companions Yaz, Ryan, and Graham to the 1500s, at the start of the Guelders War. But while the Doctor is usually the knowledgeable one in the group, enlightening her ‘fam’ about history, the team seem to know a fair amount about this war. All thanks to a podcast called Hidden Human History, or H3. All three are fans, and it seems the Tardis might be one, as well. However, that doesn’t quite explain why their next destination is also from an H3 episode. Coincidence? The Doctor doesn’t think so. Doctor Who: The Thirteenth Doctor Volume 2: Hidden Human History is delightfully quirky and very suspenseful. Unlike the first volume, this book is quite the slow-burn. The majority of the first issue is spent setting up a new companion—Magda, a villager escaping from the oncoming Hapsburgs—and the villains of the story are only introduced at the very end of the first instalment. I didn’t think we needed to spend as much time on Magda as we did, even though the majority of her arc is about showing readers that even ordinary citizens can be brave against extra-terrestrial threats. But this is something we’ve already learned from the Doctor’s companions, who are also non-powered humans who have joined the Doctor on extraordinary adventures. Magda does end up playing an important role in the story, and even gives the Doctor and her companions a way to fight their enemies. Her buildup in the story felt overlong, especially as she doesn’t appear in the rest of the narrative. On the other hand, the villains of Doctor Who: The Thirteenth Doctor , the Stilean Flesh Eaters, are fascinating creatures. Somewhat grotesque in appearance, these creatures feed on blood. The Doctor explains that ‘flesh eater’ is a bit of a misnomer—their aim is to get to the blood within the body, not to subsist on flesh. This little detail ends up playing an enormous part in the story, which I love, because it forces the reader to pay attention to every page and panel. One never knows what will turn out to be important. Once the villains have been introduced, the action moves far more swiftly. I like that two of the new characters from the first volume—Schulz and Perkins—make appearances in this book. It gives the feeling that these comics are tied into their own micro-verse within the larger Whovian universe. However, much like in the first volume, I really missed the interactions between the Doctor and her companions. With Magda, the Stileans, and the Time Agency, there isn’t enough time for the Doctor and her fam to just hang out. It is a sign of how action-packed this series is, but I still would have liked some of the quieter moments that the show affords us. The Doctor’s relationship with her companions was an absolute highlight of Series 11, and it is a shame that the comics cannot further elaborate on them. Having said that, there are some hilarious moments when the team show off their newly-acquired knowledge from Hidden Human History. I thought it was hilarious that the Doctor seemed to be a bit jealous of the podcast—a fact that Yaz and Ryan immediately pick up on—because she is the resident history expert, having travelled through time and space for so many centuries. I love that, despite being a bit envious, the Doctor doesn’t denigrate her team for their sudden knowledge. Instead, she applauds them and all but hands the mission over to them. This team works so well together, and they are such a joy to read. I enjoyed the art in Volume 2, but the subtle changes to the art team was evident in the lack of realism in the characters’ faces. Their expressions are far more blank, less layered, whereas in the first volume, the art team tried to mimic the expressions of the actors on the show. This second instalment moves away from realism, adopting a more flat style for the art. It’s still beautiful, but for the most part, the characters barely look like facsimiles of their live-action selves. It’s something you can get used to, but I would have preferred a touch more realism. As a newfound fan of Doctor Who , all because of Jodie Whittaker and her crew of diverse companions, getting to read these comics is a thrill. Even though I felt like there weren’t enough character moments in this volume, we still get to see the dynamics of the relationships, which is always my favourite part. As filler material before the next season, Doctor Who: The Thirteenth Doctor Volume 2: Hidden Human History has been an enjoyable and thought-provoking read. If the team behind this series continue at this rate, I will gladly read every single Thirteenth Doctor book. Any excuse to spend more time with the Doc and her companions.
