About Face is a comic strip from [[Doctor Who Adventures]] [[DWA Issue 166|issue 166]].
Cormac explains it knocked out all the other crew, but when the Doctor and Amy find the unmarked body of the pilot they are suspicious. The Doctor recalls the Charonid being body swappers and with the pilot having been stunned, he guesses that Cormac is the Caronid.


==Summary==
Cormac is about to fire when the real Cormac (in the Charonid's body), arrives but is caught in the Doctor's force-field trap. Cormac is returned to his own body, but the Charonid may have escaped into another. When Amy goes to pull the lever that will destroy the Charonid, there is an energy discharge that swaps Amy and the Charonid back to their own bodies. The Doctor rightly guessed that Amy would never have pulled the lever. Furthermore, her eye colour had changed to red.
The Doctor and Amy land on a spaceship, but are suddenly attacked by an alien called a 'Charonoid'. The Charonoid are a race that can transform into any person's body.Suddenly, a man called Cormac turns up with a gun and stuns the Charonoid. The Charonoid from the comic strip turns into Cormac (A man The Doctor and Amy meet on the spaceship) then Amy and after that, it is finally returned to its own body.

When The Doctor and Amy first met Cormac (in the Charonoid's body) his eyes are red (like when the Charonoid switched bodies with Cormac and Amy) and it screams (like it is about to attack), but on the next page, it's eyes are yellow and it looks scared.

About Face was a Doctor Who Adventures comic story featuring the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond.

Summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

Arriving onboard a spaceship, the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond are soon attacked by a creature. It is referred to as "the Charonid" by the ship's only conscious crewmember, Cormac, who fires a stun pistol. The Charonid runs off.

Cormac explains it knocked out all the other crew, but when the Doctor and Amy find the unmarked body of the pilot they are suspicious. The Doctor recalls the Charonid being body swappers and with the pilot having been stunned, he guesses that Cormac is the Caronid.

Cormac is about to fire when the real Cormac (in the Charonid's body), arrives but is caught in the Doctor's force-field trap. Cormac is returned to his own body, but the Charonid may have escaped into another. When Amy goes to pull the lever that will destroy the Charonid, there is an energy discharge that swaps Amy and the Charonid back to their own bodies. The Doctor rightly guessed that Amy would never have pulled the lever. Furthermore, her eye colour had changed to red.
