The spirit of the Twelfth is nicely portrayed. The second story line was the more entertaining one for me. Definitely recommended for Doctor Who & comic fans!

If you enjoy the season 8 Twelfth Doctor you’ll enjoy this as the primary appeal is more 12 and Clara.

This volume just does't measure up to Titan's other current DW titles ([b:Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor, Vol. 1: Revolutions of Terror|22130104|Doctor Who The Tenth Doctor, Vol. 1 Revolutions of Terror|Nick Abadzis|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1443623153s/22130104.jpg|41476473] & [b:Doctor Who: The Eleventh Doctor, Vol. 1: After Life|21870611|Doctor Who The Eleventh Doctor, Vol. 1 After Life|Al Ewing|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1413132434s/21870611.jpg|41161389]).
Both stories, a terraforming gone wrong and an evil alien posing as a goddess, were pretty generic. The second story throws in a lesbian character, which is notable, but it does little to make the story more interesting.
While the Doctor's characterization was lacking, Clara's was pretty on point (unfortunately). I'm not sure why 10 and 11 get new companions in their titles, but we're stuck with same old Clara Oswald.
Overall, this was a disappointment, nothing to see here. Forgettable.

A very enjoyable extension of the twelth doctors adventures. Some really nice moments thst felt completely in character for the television counterpart.
The actual plot was nothing innovative. And some predictable beats especially similar to the TV story'The Doctors Daughter'
So if youre looking for a new and innovative story this is not it. But if you are looking for some fun time with the twelfth doctor this story would be great for you

I really like the Twelfth Doctor. However, I'm not the biggest fan of Clara (she's not horrible, obviously, but I'm ready to move on from her). So please, more Doctor, less Clara in the future. Why not give him a new companion to travel with?

This was mostly to help my reading goal, and the characters didn't seem the same as in the show, but the artwork was gorgeous!

Two rather fun stories.
I wasn't really super-keen on the art - the Doctor was recognisable enough, I guess, although mostly thanks to that jacket than anything else (that said, I did like all the panels that just showed his eyes) but I'd never have known Clara was Clara if she hadn't been with Twelve and referred to as, well, Clara - and in some ways I found Twelve's characterisation a little simplistic, basically just relying on a couple of his less endearing traits, but the, those stories were probably written during the early days of Twelve, so...
Anyway, I enjoyed this collection, and I'm definitely looking forward to more.
