This year we're bringing the fans a Doctor Who Christmas Special... in comic form! Can the Doctor save Christmas? Is Santa a myth, a man, or a Time Lord? Are chimneys bigger on the inside?! Two-part festive fun from Jody Houser (Stranger Things, Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows).
Writer Jody Houser has managed to offer up an intriguing Christmas mystery here and leaves us with a fantastic cliffhanger and a few questions. One of which being, 'is Santa really a bad guy?' Read Full Review
The writing is fabulous. Another Doctor Who story that could be on the screen! Read Full Review
For those, like myself, that feels rather let down that their Christmas Day tradition won't be happening again this year I'd wholeheartedly recommend picking this Doctor Who: The Thirteenth Doctor Holiday Special up today. Read Full Review
Any fan of Doctor Who should pick up this comic. It is filled with everything to love about the show, with the benefits afforded to the great medium of comic books. The sci-fi story brings that classic Who mystery with the humor intact too. The art not only captures the likenesses of the characters but is outstanding in all aspects. I couldn't get enough of this comic and reached the cliffhanger more than ready for the next installment. Read Full Review
We might not be getting a TV Christmas Special this year, but The Thirteenth Doctor Holiday Special #1 is a worthy alternative thanks to it's charm, characters, and Christmassy trappings. Read Full Review
Although ending with the cliffhanger, and finding out this was a two-parter was a bit bah humbug, I really enjoyed this. A fun story, great dialogue, and lots of subtle and more overt Christmas touches as the story progressed. Not a Christmas story at the expense of a good story, but a good story that has Christmas within it. Great stuff from Jody Houser, and lovely artwork by Ingranata. The festive scenes were especially nice. A perfect holiday special, and I can't wait to read the final part. Read Full Review
Doctor Who Holiday Special Volume 1 starts an excellent tale of holiday adventure. With The Doctor and company up to their eyes in holiday mischief, it leaves plenty left to do for the timelord and friends. Read Full Review
Issues with the artwork aside, I was pleased. Despite the BBC and Chris Chibnall being Scrooges by not giving us an official 2019 holiday TV episode, Titan Comics made off like Santa by gifting us with this two-parter. Even a Doctor Who special with flaws is better than no Doctor Who at all! Read Full Review
The Doctor is the perfect holiday hero; she is full of wonder and excitement but there is a serious side, glimpsed briefly just beneath the surface.This story captures both the fun and the danger that follows this beloved character. Read Full Review
