   I couldn't agree more that this was a great reboot of the monthly series. It was fun, sassy and, much like the Eleventh Hour, a great intro for the Eleventh Doctor. It is particularly accessible to new fans of either the comic or the show itself.

   However…I can't agree with your desire for more stand-alone issues. While the MOW format is accessible and compact, it's also limiting. After re-reading the Tenth Doctor run for review purposes, I felt it had a depth and breadth as well as emotional impact that I don't think a stand-alone series will be able to achieve. I also don't think it would capitalize on Tony Lee's strength: weaving bits of canon into his story and making them uniquely his own. He achieved this marvelously with the Tenth Doctor monthly with each canon reference feeling like a comic "Easter Egg". It had me hitting the TARDIS Wiki a few times but I definitely walked away feeling like I had consumed something of substance.

   I'm happy to see the end of the Tenth Doctor angst, but I hope there are at least a few multi-issue arcs in the Eleventh Doctor's run.
