Titan Comics, out now

 

 

The Eleventh Doctor, desperately attempting a holiday, is summoned by none other than the Bad Wolf Empress – another Rose Tyler!

Titan’s multi-Doctor (and multi-Rose) event series continues with the 11th Doctor landing in the royal palace on Creerm where he meets Empress Tyler, created by a time paradox and drunk on power. She doesn’t recognise the Doctor or know anything about regeneration, and when the Doctor challenges her tyrannical behaviour he’s confined to quarters.

The Eighth Doctor is meanwhile familiarising himself with the original Rose Tyler, who doesn’t recognise him, and together they try to work out why she was pulled out of her alternate dimension. Before the end of the comic, the Doctors are bickering in this fun mashup, which doesn’t yet have any sense of urgency of jeopardy.

Verdict: A fan combo with lots of potential that’s yet to be tapped. 6/10
