Summary
A robbery on the Mega Bank of Tokyo in the year 3000 is the latest part of the ‘contest’. The Doctor and Martha find the two alien gangs are using giants (a remote controlled robot and a mind-controlled Zombie) to break through the banks defences. But this time it is not a robbery but a trap to stop the Doctor and Martha interfering in a Yedari’s dispute.

Notes
- Supporting the series of collectable Doctor Who trading cards, the magazine title, carried a regular 4 page comic strip series of the Tenth Doctor’s adventures.
- Many of the individually titled comic strip adventures were themed over several issues, but were relatively self contained ‘episodes’.
- The limitation of only 4 pages meant that stories often lacked some depth in comparrison to other regular comic strips running at the same time.
- Style wise, the artwork and colours were bold and bright reflecting the tone of the magazine and, as with Doctor Who Adventures (Magazine)), it reflected the appeal to younger readers than that catered for by Doctor Who Magazine.
- The Doctor mentions to Martha, King Pigo of Pergoss, the size of a small chicken!
