The Mirror War (comic story)

 is a Doctor Who Adventures comic strip published in 2012.

Summary
The Doctor, Amy Pond and Rory Williams arrive aboard a FSC battlecruiser in pursuit of a Sorbazaran ship. The Sorbazaran’s have enslaved two allied worlds and a state of war has been declared. Held as prisoners by Captain O'Rian, the FSC loses the Sorbazaran ship and the Doctor’s announcement of a distortion field around the ship affecting their readings goes unheeded. When another ship is detected and O’Rien prepares to fire, the Doctor snatches a weapon from one of the guards and holds off the attack.

It was a timely intervention. The other ship reveals itself a duplicate from the future. A transmission tells O’Rian to trust the Doctor. The ‘future’ O’Rian asks if the Doctor has caught the spy yet. This prompts the Doctor to reveal that the guard who he stole the gun from (because of his limited peripheral vision- he only had one eye), was really a Sorbazaran in a humanoid guise who had infiltrated the control room and sabotaged the FSC’s ships systems. With two FSC crafts now pursuing the Sorbazaran craft, the Doctor suggests the Sorbazaran spy surrender.
