Synopsis
When something smacks into the TARDIS, the Eleventh Doctor and Clara follow it to the bedroom of a young boy at 3am. The venture leads them into the sleeping boy's nightmares and danger is all around them...
Verdict
For what it is, Night Light is a good comic strip. Again, I've stressed this so many times with past comic strips of similar length, it is difficult to produce a quality story over 5-6 pages and thus far only The Time Sickness has mightily impressed me. But Night Light had its highlights with the always great pairing of the Eleventh Doctor and Clara. The artwork for Clara in the comic strips I've read with her as companion has been quite poor sadly and doesn't look much like the stunningly beautiful Jenna Coleman which isn't a great. The plot was pretty good and I liked the idea of an evil light hiding in/as a metal dog which grew ferociously large in the nightmares of Tom. I liked the Doctor's dismissive attitude towards Justin. The Doctor being unable to not press a big red button that says 'Press Me' was great and so typical of Matt Smith's incarnation. A good climax that was somewhat predictable though.
Rating: 7/10
