Responding to a call for help by Trevor, the Horse Lord of Khan, The TARDIS crew finds a psychiatric hospital whose administrator is working with grown servants whose minds shut down half way through their lifespan. Except they may not be, and the doctor’s plan may have good intentions for other sick people but may end up doing more harm than good, especially for the Doctor and Amy.
What they got right: The same things they always get right. The character interactions, the situation; it all feels like an episode of the show.
What they got wrong: Mindswapping. It’s the second time Lee has gone with a sci-fi trope (the “Jack The Ripper is an alien” plot recently) in such a short span. This one doesn’t bother me as much, since there are signs of potential that I’m using to seeing in his stories, but it still should be pointed out.
Recommendation: Have I ever NOT recommended this comic?
At least it's never boring.
