Rabbit was very excited to borrow After Life from her school library and told me I should read it. I've never read a Doctor Who comic before; the stories in here felt like watching mini-episodes, and I thought Eleven (the last Doctor I've watched) was perfectly in character.

The art was meh for the most part, and there seemed to be issues drawing Matt Smith's face. But Alice made up for it. I liked her a lot. A couple of the issues in this volume were better than the rest, but it was a fun way to while away a little time.

The story was fun, and the writing felt true to the spirit of the show, but I found the artwork to be very distracting. Not my style at all.

The Doctor is traveling with a library assistant! I am irrationally excited!

But yeah. I liked Alice pretty well. Also the weird guy who is basically David Bowie wasn't bad either. Some of the art was kind of meh though. There were points where Eleven's face was just so messed up. Even more than his usual weird looks.

Das war traurig und witzig und süß zugleich - jedenfalls die ersten 2-3 Kapitel, danach wurde es etwas langweiliger.

3 stars. I really liked the first two issues in this five issue bind up. The rest unfortunately, fell incredibly short for me.

The artwork was decent, I didn't really care for the way Matt Smith is drawn but the rest of the characters and surroundings were pretty good. I liked the companion, Alice, a lot. She was such an interesting character and I felt like the first few pages that introduce her were done beautifully and automatically had me hooked. I also loved how her and the Doctor first met and their first adventure together. The pages with the flashback of her as a child with her mom were also handled really well.

The Doctor was the Doctor pretty much. Gotta love him. He carried over his same humor from the show so that was a plus.

Like I said, the first two issues are definitely worth a read and I think you'll enjoy it if you're a massive Whovian.

Meh. Kinda boring. The only story I really liked was #5, The Sound of Our Voices.

Surprisingly, I didn't like this one. It jumped around too much. It was like one of those forgettable episodes.
