Doctor Who #12 (2011-2012)

  A companion-less Doctor materializes on the North Pole just in time to rescue Santa from a trio of robots intent on stealing the Jolly Ole' fat man's magic bag of gifts. While the magic sack and Santa are saved, his reindeer are a little worse for wear and cannot make the Christmas Eve trek. So the Doctor hooks up Santa's sleigh to the TARDIS and a night of fun, adventure, and cookies begins! ( I only wish there was a scene where the Doctor is seen giving a gift to one of his famous monster foes like some slumbering Sontarans or sleeping Silurians.)
  My Holiday 2016 comic book readings began with this issue of Doctor Who and it was a good start to it! Plus, since I only had the photo variant cover, this was quite the surprise. Other than a very hard to find and very expensive holiday special from Marvel in the 1980s, I was not aware of any Christmas themed Doctor Who Comics! 
    Titled 'Silent Knight', this issue goes full GI Joe #21 as there are no words or sound effects in this story at all with exception of a small Christmas wish from the Doctor on the very last panel. Even though I'm feel that comics without words is a waste of money, since this was a special holiday Who, I was extremely thrilled with it. In fact, it was a treat so nice, I read it twice!

  Very Much Worth Consuming

  Rating: 10 out of 10 stars.
