Ravens (comic story)

Summary
Christine Jenkins and her seven-year-old daughter Demi run out of gas on a stretch of British motorway, and pull into a service station -- only to find that the vicious youth gang known as the Ravens have killed everyone at the station and are using the blood in a ceremony to summon a demon. Centuries beforehand, in medieval Japan, a warrior also known as the Raven fails to save his own wife and child from bandits. He slaughters the bandits and waits for death, but the Doctor appears instead and manages to convince him that there are other battles to be fought, other women and children to save. The Doctor takes the Raven to the service station, where the Ravens assume that their ceremony has worked until the Raven himself emerges from the TARDIS and kills them. The Doctor rescues Christine and Demi as the Raven fights the youths, and then stops him from killing Annie, the last of the Ravens. Annie goes forward from that night to tell her story to the other youths of Britain, and remind them about the importance of compassion and mercy.
