  The Boy With The Displaced Smile proves an unexpected interlude from the story started in the last issue but it is not an unwelcome one. The story by James Peaty sports a novel concept (i.e. place The Doctor in a 1950's sci-fi thriller movie setting) and runs with it. The artwork by Life Sucks artist Warren Pleece suits the weird horror tone of the story and establishes the appropriate atmosphere. Fans of classic Americana horror would do well to check this out, as would fans of The Doctor! Read Full Review

  A fun read from start to finish. Nice ideas, classic themes, and The Doctor doing his thing. That'll do. Read Full Review

  Despite some great art and nice character work, Doctor Who - The Twelfth Doctor Year Three #2 is a perfectly ordinary and unmemorable issue that is bafflingly unrelated to the main arc begun one issue prior. There is the possibility that this story will somehow fit in with the larger arc, but if that's the case then surely they could something to make it feel more essential.The story itself is only sketchily defined, with a resolution that is frustratingly vague and easy. The issue comes across as an odd diversion from the main story, and one that is a pretty ordinary one at that, therefore winding up as a totally disposable issue. Read Full Review

  The quality of the Doctor Who books varies greatly between all the books from teams that get their Doctor and his adventures spot on to ones like this book which is hit or miss. You really have to find a team that you like and follow them across the books rather than follow the version of The Doctor you like on television. Read Full Review
