Comics of the week for me was Missy #1 and #2. Not only for the fantastic covers but for the cracking script. Jodie Houser is such a good writer on this and the 13th Doctor title. She has such a grasp on the characters and a great ear for dialogue that reflects the ambiguity of the characters. Bad people doing bad things, bad people doing even worse things and then, surprisingly, bad people doing the occasional good thing. The last two series may have felt a bit all over the place but this lady's writing grounds it in a way its inspiration has not, as yet, achieved.
Perhaps She could be lured to script for the mother show.
I would welcome that with all heart.
However many that is.
I mean, just look at this beautiful portrait of Roger Delgado as The Master. Evil never looked as beguiling. I believe the artist responsible is Claudia Caranfa. Just dazzling. Never felt the Masters following Roger Delgado ever struck the balance between likeability and malevolence as he did.Well, until Michelle Gomez ,that is, came along and lit up the screen.
