The Doctor in a "truly, truly outrageous" adventure

Rich Morris makes a habit of accomplishing the seemingly impossible. First he created a sprawling Doctor Who fan comic that featured all of the Doctor's first ten incarnations, telling a busy but exciting story while expertly capturing the particular character of each Doctor. That was impressive enough. Then he followed it up with Forever Janette, an adventure that had the Doctor's hapless eighth incarnation (the one from that poopy American TV movie) teaming up with the cast of the semi-forgotten Canadian vampire series, Forever Knight. It absolutely should not have worked, and yet it somehow did.

But Morris' latest Doctor Who comic is perhaps his most daring (and craziest) yet. It stars the sixth Doctor, the controversial, clownishly-attired incarnation that fans love to hate only slightly less than the eighth. It co-stars Melanie Bush, one of the least popular companions in all of the series' long history. And here's where things get truly nuts: the story teams the Doctor with the 1980s cartoon stars, Jem and the Holograms. (That clip up top should get you as acquainted with this cartoon as you'd ever need to be.)

The very idea of a crossover between Doctor Who and Jem is weird, random and wrong. If Morris can actually make this work, we'll be forced to conclude that he can team Doctor Who with anybody and make a decent comic out of it. What's next? Tom Baker and Jar-Jar Binks? Peter Davison and Lady Gaga? Anything's possible!
