The Greatest Mall In The Universe:

Second story.
Text story by Justin Richards with some illustrations.
When the Doctor and Donna noticed that a story in a book keeps on changing they visit the book's author.

Most Beautiful Music:
Fourth story.

Death Disco:
Fifth and last story.
A comic strip by Alan Barnes.
A story that is basically about a futuristic version of Dancing With The Stars and dancing plays a key part in this story.
A very enjoyable way to end this series of stories for this Annual.

Health & Safety:
Second and final story.
A comic strip story by Christopher Cooper.
The Doctor helps out two aliens who got stranded on a planet and chased by dinosaur-like creatures.
A good light hearted adventure especially with the appearance of the Automatic Health & Safety Hologram. The hologram provided good comic relief

Amy’s Escapade:

2012 Annual
Snow White and the Seven Keys to Doomsday:
Third story.
We first heard the name of this story in Night Terrors (which was mentioned there as a reference to Doctor Who and the Daleks in the Seven Keys to Doomsday, Snow White simply substituted the “Doctor Who and the Daleks” part of the title).
Night Terrors writer Mark Gatiss may or may not have written this story himself as no author has been credited.
Quite fun insertion into the Time Lord legend.
Curiously the illustration of Rassilon is that of the Timothy Dalton version which would have perhaps suggests that Rassilon decide to choose this face again when we saw him in The End of Time.

2012 Annual
Attack of the 50 Ft Rory:
Fourth story.
Comic strip which starts with a flashforward of Rory as a giant hence the title. Then the story goes back to see how Rory became that way.
Lots of fun this story.
The part I really like was when Amy told the Doctor that Rory was not a decoy to distract the giants in which the Doctor responded by saying that the alternative of Rory being a decoy was Amy being one instead. It is then that Amy told Rory to distract the giants and thanks to the illustration of her face here made it easy to imagine of Karen Gillan actually saying that line.

Rory’s Adventure:
Fifth story.
Rory has his own adventure in a little break from the Doctor and Amy. The setting is the same and time that had Amy’s Escapade.
Nice little adventure with the elements the same as that of Amy’s Escapade.

The Zentrabot Invasion:
First story.
A comic strip story.
A pretty good story set during a Christmastime with the titular Zentrabots being quite menacing.
The kids that stood in as companions to the Doctor worked well here

Lorna’s Escape:
Second story.
In A Good Man Goes, Lorna says that she first met the Doctor when she was a girl. Well Lorna’s Escape is that story.
Intriguing story about Lorna’s first meeting of the Doctor and provides a neat link-up to A Good Man Goes to War.
