Editorial Reviews

"An absolute 'must read' for the legions of Doctor Who fans (and, for that matter, fans of The Master)"- Midwest Book Review


“Jodie Houser, Roberta Ingranata and Enrica Eren Angiolini have proved themselves to be something of a dream team … a terrific read” - Cosmic Masque

“Doctor Who: Missy is so good, it feels almost criminal.” - Set the tape

“The art is very strong for rendering familiar, real-life actors within a comic setting without looking out of place in a comic. Good art, good action, good pacing.” - Comical Opinions

“Houser feels at home in this title and gives all the best lines to Missy as expected, the eccentric almost maniacal take that Michelle Gomez gave on-screen has been transposed faithfully and with love.” - Big Glasgow Comic Page

“Jody Houser and Roberta Ingranata, along with color artist Enric Angiolini, and letterers Comicraft, have joined the elite, and rank amongst my favorites, and the all-time best.” - DC Comic News

"the dialogue was at times laugh out loud, and you got the sense the psychological battle between The Master and Missy was being played out both on the surface and under." - Nerdly

From the Publisher

12/17/2021

For 50 years (as we perceive time), The Master has been one of the most iconic and dangerous villains in the Doctor Who universe. The inverse of The Doctor, The Master is deliciously ambitious and cruel. However, a more recent incarnation, Missy, has shown the capacity for change—but how far can she be trusted? This volume finds her freeing the original Master from a space prison located in the distant future. Her goal is to use The Master to locate a fragment of the Key of Time, all the while passing herself off as a new incarnation of The Doctor. Doing this involves searching their shared timeline, ultimately resorting to callbacks from classic Who episodes fans will find rewarding. Casual readers may find this a confusing entry point, but Houser's (Stranger Things) sharp writing provides engaging banter between the two Masters, and Missy's Doctor impression results in a delightful skewering of the character. Ingranata (Witchblade) captures famous likenesses while breathing life into them with expressive faces and dynamic action sequences. VERDICT Unabashedly geared toward fans who will no doubt love this volume.
