A Confusion of Angels (comic story)

 was the sixth and final story featured in the third year of Doctor Who: The Twelfth Doctor comic story series, published in 2017.

Part one
The Doctor, Bill Potts and Nardole land on a spaceship. Nardole voices his disapproval towards answering distress signals but the Doctor points out that he is concerned due to the fact that the ship appears to be adrift in space but hasn't sent out an SOS. Once aboard the Doctor notices auxiliary lighting and realises that the ship must be operating on emergency systems. He also comes to the discovery that the ship is owned by Max Capricorn.

On the bridge Captain Brew, Chief engineer Ojei, Doctor Scend and Cha hold a birthday celebration for Technician Kathryn Holbert, however, she does not attend. Due to the fact that the comms are down, and Security officer Wyot is also mission, Ojei and Scend volunteer to search for them. The Doctor, Bill and Nardole are held at gunpoint by Ojei but Nardole creates a distraction which allows Bill to escape. The Doctor and Nardole are taken to the bridge and tied up while Ojei and Scend return to their search for the missing crew members.

The Doctor manages to gain the trust of Brew when he breaks free of his restraints and fixes the comms systems and lighting.
