I loved all the call-backs in this issue.
We finally see the Corsair, an old friend of the Doctor who was mentioned in one of the best arcs in Moffat's era, the Impossible Astronaute. The art too is so beautiful, and Jodie really shines more here with the campanions.
Also, question here,

I enjoyed this a lot, it's a quick, fun read. I loved the Corsair as a character and would happily read a whole series of comics with her featured! The art style also appealed to me. It's not the most memorable of comic books perhaps, but I had a good time with it.

Another very successful installment in the series of Thirteenth Doctor comics by Houser and an all-woman team of artists. Here, the Tardis team meet up with none other than the Corsair, subject of a throwaway line about Time Lords changing gender in The Doctor's Wife, here a swaggering part-time criminal who does it for fun rather than out of malevolence. The Corsair is a great creation, a different take on the Doctor's irreverence for authority and tradition, and Houser has the two developing a lovely sparking relationship, convincingly giving the sense of two people who know each other well but maybe not always as well as they think. The core narrative is that the Doctor is accused of stealing a valuable object which in fact was stolen by the Corsair, and this lands them in all sorts of trouble. The rest of the Tardis crew don't get a lot of page time, but this is the Corsair's story, and it's a good one.

This series gets better with every volume! This volume is my current favorite of the series. I loved seeing the Doctor interact with someone who is not only one of her old friends, but someone who can go toe-to-toe with her. Since they’re both Time Lords, they’ve both travelled the universe, they both know TONS of information about TONS of things, and they come from the same planet. However, it’s fascinating to see their interactions because they’re so different from each other, yet are both on the same side (for the most part

I am shocked by how much I'm enjoying these Doctor Who comics. I've never been too fond of the reboot, and I usually hate spin-offs because they're just fan service for quick cash. This, on another note, is just a fun adventure that is even more worthy than the TV show.
I love how we got to see the Corsair in this one, as well as the Star Whale (I may really, intensely dislike most of Matt Smith's episodes, but I will forever love the Star Whale). Though I am confused why this Star Whale looks nothing like the one on TV.... The Corsair was a very cool, strong character, and the Doctor was also.
I loved the illustrations, though some did seem somewhat fetish-y to me? But that may just be because it's a comic book and those still don't know how to, well, not draw a Barbie figure. And with the story, it felt like if Matt Smith's had some semblance of quality - I'm not saying this because it incorporates many of his stories, I mean because the story-telling and plot are very similar.

A New Who Story that features another Time Lord other than the Master and the most mysterious one we don't know much since The Doctor's Wife and that is the Corsair! And like the full circles of things though.
