“Four Doctors” (because “The Four Doctors” had already been used, that’ll be a while before that appears in this marathon, mind you!) was the first Titan Comics crossover event and without a doubt the best, written and released at the height of their run, where the Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth Doctors all had successful runs of at least good if not great stories. It had been ages since I read this last so I’d forgotten some of the odd plot twists and really enjoyed them all over again. Intrigued? Well, why not read the rest of the review!

Ending this little trilogy of Titan comics multi-Doctor crossovers we have two different Doctors crossing over in the Eleventh and the Eighth but the alternate timeline Rose that was created in the previous story is a central character, which is why I felt these needed to be put up one after another rather than reverse release order like most of the rest of this marathon. Also I want to point out that this story was advertised as celebrating 25 years of the Eighth Doctor but honestly about 90% of the story is Rose/Tenth Doctor/Eleventh Doctor stuff, so… great. Oh well, let’s take a look!

Day two of the Multi-Doctor catch up marathon and it’s another Tenth / Thirteenth Doctor crossover, and weirdly it follows on from the last one from the perspective of Doctor 13 but the Tenth she encounters is from a different point in his timeline, so we get a repeat of the earlier Doctor meeting 13 for the first time from his perspective scene (due to the whole earlier incarnations not remembering multi-Doctor stories thing) Ah well, either way it’s another quick four-issue jaunt though this time its more heavily connected to an actual Thirteenth Doctor TV story rather than a Tenth, so that’s … something! Let’s take a look…

It’s time to kick off this multi-Doctor catch up marathon with a bunch of Titan comics due to going in reverse release order and Titan just having a thing with multi-Doctor stories, including two different 10^th / 13^th crossovers that partially lead into an 8^th / 11^th one, so for the sake of a better flow I’ll review these in story order rather than release order. “A Little Help From My Friends” is a rather amusing title given it was basically “the Thirteenth Doctor comics aren’t selling well so let’s stick the most popular Doctor in with her”. Is the story better with a little help from her past self? Not really, no. They even threw in the Weeping Angels AND the Autons and yet it still isn’t terribly engaging. Let’s take a look anyway!
