Love a good ol' nautical story. A shame this isn't a televised episode, it would've been real cool to see Peter Capaldi dressed like that.

All these stories always justify that humans must win because outside the corruption, we really got a lot of heart. Yawn. Maybe it was time for the Sea Devils to take back the Earth and the Doctor just screwed that up because of his weakness for humans.

Disclaimer: graphic novels are not my normal read.

I really enjoyed this book. I loved the illustrations and the storyline, but felt it became rushed from about halfway through. I liked the banter and chat between the Doctor and Clara and enjoyed the fact that they brought UNIT in to it.

This was the first one of these I'd read, and I'd definitely look at reading more in the future!

The 12th Doctor will always stay my favourite and this was an excellent story, I really enjoyed it!

I actually put off reading this for a little while because .. well, I'm fairly sure it's the last even semi-official bit of Twelve and Clara in action that there will be in a long time, if ever. And that is a sad thought that makes me sigh. Sadly.

That said, I rather loved both the main story (The School of Death) and the second, shorter story (the title of which I didn't manage to find anywhere). Rachael Stott's art is fabulous, especially her take on Twelve (can you fancy a comic book character? because hot damn!), and there were bits it in that made me go "aww", in addition to all the fun running-from-Sea-Devils and running-from-the-Boneless stuff.

... alas, the book ended with another short one where the art was clearly done by someone else and while the story in and of itself wasn't particularly bad, just kinda short and pointless, every panel with the Doctor on it made me wince rather a bit.
