This series continues to be a pretty solid reflection of the show, both in its strengths and weaknesses. Overall, I thought this arc gave us a good example of the more complex story lines where there's no true good or evil to triumph or defeat. I did feel some of the details were rushed, perhaps there were just too many characters to do all of them justice. The new companion has been great, but she took kind of a back seat here.
I'm not sure I would have understood half of what was going on if I hadn't seen the original story this arc heavily referenced, but I really enjoyed the spin it took on that classic.

Well that was interesting.
Very much a tenth doctor tale from RTD's era, full of techy jargon and characters that come good in the end. The plot is full on; there's a lot to explain and it's done very beautifully. The panels are stunning to look at, this is a big universe with big ideas.
I liked the companion, Gabby; a bit like Martha and Sarah Jane, someone who seems exactly as she is, although with a little bit more that I'm sure is explained either in her introduction or later on. The comic also kept with the RTD tradition of showing how those left behind cope with a friend travelling with the Doctor. Cindy has a pretty realistic attitude towards what Gabby is asking her to understand.
This tale is volume 3, so I'm missing some of the story, and it's not complete by a long shot, it's only a chapter in the book, but it's an entertaining ride and I'm interested to see where this tale goes.

This installment of the Tenth Doctor graphic novels is easily my favorite. After that cliffhanger I need to know what happens next.

It was a nice story arc about Gabby catching up on her friend that she left behind in New York. Also left on a cliffhanger! Loved the art style as well.
