Doctor Who: The Twelfth Doctor Volume 6 - Sonic Boom by Robbie Morrison

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This book collects the final five issues of the Twelfth Doctor's Second year:

First we have the Terror of the Cabinet Noir: Evil is afoot in late 17th Century France as Cardinal Richelieu has prolonged his life in cooperation with the evil alien power, The Darkness. The Doctor teams up with notorious opera singer Julie d'Aubigny. Overall, I didn't find Julie likable and she dominated the story becoming a bit of a Mary Sue. In addition, the plot is pretty derivative of other Doctor Who stories, many others. Overall, didn't care much for this.

The second is Invasion of the Mindmorphs which finds the Doctor meeting up with a comic book writer and artist pair of flatmates Sonny and Val who are writing a Doctor Who knockoff comic that the Doctor doesn't appreciate, and he determines to take them on some real adventures in time and space. This is a funny story with a few imaginative twists and a nice enjoyable (if somewhat predictable relationship story.)

Overall, I'd give it 2.5 stars because I thought the first story was as bad as the second was good.
