  This is a really good Doctor Who story. It's a really well-drawn comic book. It's a good story in general. I'd have to say, in fact, that Pia Guerra was born to draw Doctor Who, nailing both the hard-to-draw David Tennant (Doctor #10) cheekbones and the somewhat-hard-to-find-photo-reference-for First Doctor as well.

Doctor Who: The Forgotten #1 earns a well-deserved 5 out of 5 stars, giving us possibly the best-written Doctor Who comic book story to date. I highly recommend it (along with the DVD collections of the first three seasons of the new show) but I have to say I'm especially looking forward to the issue that gives me the Fifth Doctor (my favorite) in action...
