The Eleventh Doctor is back in another brand new comic book
adventure with his newest full-time companion, former library assistant Alice
Obiefune. Joining them is the newest passenger in the TARDIS, a would-be singer
called Jones who is destined to be a future rock god...he just needs to find
some talent, charisma and stage presence first. The fourth instalment of the
Titan Comics Eleventh Doctor series, following the new adventures of the Doctor
as portrayed by Matt Smith, introduces a new team: Al Ewing (Loki: Agent of Asgard) as writer and Boo
Cook (2000AD, Elephantmen) on
illustrations, with Verity Glass providing the regular cover art.
PICKED OFF ONE BY ONE BY AN ENTITY FROM THE STARS!
Alice Obiefune always wanted to see a space station – one of
those proper ones, like on the telly, with impressive bulkheads, sweeping
corridors and stunning views of eternity. Maybe with an exotic matter wormhole
nearby, if it’s not too much trouble. Aliens optional, but a bonus as long as
they’re friendly.
That’s just one of the reasons Alice and the Doctor have
come to a remote space research facility.
The views are breathtaking… but so is the formless creature
creeping through the station, stealing voices and inflicting comas on those
research scientists unlucky enough to be caught.
Tracking the temporal trail of the slippery SERVEYOUinc
corporation, has the Doctor found more than he bargained for? And will this
entity from between the stars be the death of them all?
The Doctor’s opened his big mouth again and managed to
insult Alice who doesn't want to be yet another of the Doctor’s waifs and
strays and now wants to go home. It’s a poignant moment for both of them as
they each realise that they have conflicting ideas about what it means to be
one of the Doctor’s companions. The Doctor thinks he’s helping them escape
their problems, but Alice isn't one to run away. However, if Alice is about to leave then the TARDIS has detected a potential paradox and has other
ideas about where they need to be. It's unfortunate that this means delivering them straight back into the clutches of an enemy that they've
encountered once before – but this time the Doctor and his companions have the
upper hand as, thanks to the timey-wimey nature of the paradox avoidance strategy, the enemy has no idea who they are. The Doctor manages to
convince them that he’s arrived to solve their murder mystery, and he quickly works
out that the mystery is not all that it seems. Something is going on in the
research facility that certain people are very keen to keep under wraps. And
that something is starting to make its presence known.
Meanwhile, the space station seems to have been something of
an inspiration for Jones and he’s on the verge of creating his first ever hit
song. But will he live long enough to record it?
There’s an entity stalking the corridors and an evil corporation
organising a huge cover up. Can the Doctor get to the bottom of it all and work
out why somebody has been so desperate to get their hands on the last Time
Lord?
