In issue #1 the Doctor and Gabby landed in Wupatki, a network of cities floating in a habitable gas giant. While there, they met the Shan’Tee, who were being infected by a virus that turns them into killers. The Doctor headed back into space to find the source of the infection. Issue #2 “The Singer Not the Song” part two of two begins with the Doctor crash through space to find Waystation Terra and the source of the virus. As the Nocturnes try to fight their way in, Gabby, the humans of Wupatki, and the Shan-Tee work to find a cure for the ailment before more of them are turned. The music could save them or spell their doom.

This issue was written by Nick Abadzis with art by Eleonora Carlini and colors by Claudia SG Ianniciello. The exciting story kept up a fast pace with the Doctor and Gabby working desperately to save Wupatki. While music doesn’t seem like the scariest of villains, the viral nature produces plenty of unsettling tension. Carlini’s art and Ianniciello’s colors are able to embody the musical nature with impressive creativity.
