I’m waiting for new episodes, waiting for the comics to come out as a trade, and making my way through the Thirteenth Doctor spinoff novels. Last time, it was Molten Heart.
And Combat Magicks is like finding another episode. Yaz, Graham and Ryan all sound exactly like they do on the show. I couldn’t help reading their dialogue in the actor’s voices.
There are a few references to The Fires of Pompeii, which helps set the story firmly in the Doctor Who universe, but the rest is new. I always prefer the newer, more creative storylines and villains over another big reveal that the Doctor’s found another really-last-this-time Dalek.
Basically like finding an extra Thirteen episode, only you can read it on the train.
