Synopsis

Verdict

Fans is a majorly mixed bag of a comic strip story. Now, I understand that it is incredibly hard to tell an excellent story aimed at a younger audience over just 4 pages, but where the fun Ball-Pit Beast succeeded, Fans did not sadly. It had a moment of humour and something that seemed so perfect for the Doctor, but then he arrived and there were people with TARDIS heads? Nah, a species doesn't evolve that much based on a legend! I also didn't understand why the Doctor and Clara were almost immediately accused of being impostors using the legend of the box to their advantage. The cover story, after going along with it, from Clara was quite good but the TARDIS head people seemed to buy it way to easily and let the pair escape with ease! Short, as all the DWA comics are, but a better story can still be told! This was mixed on an average scale.

Rating: 5/10
