YMMV / Doctor Who (IDW)

Go To

  • Moment of Awesome: In "The Fugitive" the Draconian, Ogron and Sontaran fleets turning up to defeat the Krillitanes.
    • Lau'Tan sacrificing himself to fix the terraforming device by turning into part of it, even though this fuses him in that form. That after he was a villain.
    • Matthew Finnegan sacrificing himself to defeat the Advocate.
    • Kevin. OK, first off, he is a ROBOT. TYRANNOSAURUS. COMPANION. And if that wasn't enough by itself, then he strapped on a pair of prosthetic arms and punched out Cthulhu. For reals.
    • The Legend of Rory Williams lives on in the IDW Doctor Who comic book. In "The Doctor and The Nurse", when Amy insisted that a squabbling Doctor and Rory spend some quality male-bonding time together, the Doctor and Rory (who was wearing a tux at the time) ended up in London during The Blitz, where they saved the life of Ian Fleming. Evidently Rory inspired the creation of James Bond!
      • And right after that, they mistakenly end up in the Pleistocene and a saber-tooth chases them into the TARDIS. A cornered Rory slaps it in the face with a rolled-up magazine and, to his surprise, it runs away mewing like a scared kitten.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight:
    • "Ripper's Curse", considering later that year a story came out where Vastra claimed to have eaten Jack the Ripper.
    • "Sky Jacks", after Doctor Who Magazine's "A Wing and a Prayer" began a month later and would run simultaneously with each other. Not only did both stories mark Clara Oswald's debut in their respective publications, but both stories also featured aviation as a major theme.
