First time reading a Doctor Who book, and I went in to it loving Al Ewing but not-so-loving the 11th Doctor, Matt Smith. Ewing makes this Doctor's pedantic smugness into an obvious character flaw and introduces a new companion that made me laugh and smile (be she and I are both *library assistants*, not librarians).
I love the way the Doctor intervenes in cliché human vs. alien enmities. Definitely looking forward to reading the rest of this run.

The story was quite fun and the introduction of Alice as a new companion was interesting as normally they are young rather than middle aged. However I was not a fan of how they drew Matt Smith, they fucked up my boy up 😭😭

Lässt zum Ende hin ein bisschen nach, aber ich mochte den Band trotzdem ein bisschen lieber als den von Ten :)

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.
