rebelbelle13's review against another edition
3.0
I really wanted to love this collection, as 11 is one of my favorite Doctors. Sadly, I just didn't. I can appreciate all the work that went into it, as it looks beautiful. I love all the backgrounds, the character designs, and the colors. It's the narrative that just didn't work for me. It was one giant over-arcing storyline, and I just couldn't get into it. It ended up being boring and I found myself distracted easily. The Doctor seemed completely in character in the beginning, and I was having a good time. And then he made some choices that didn't seem like him at all, and spend the last third of the collection making up for it. His companions were interesting at least- a 60's glam rocker named Jones just starting his career, an alien entity named Arc, and a woman from 2015 named Alice. This was probably the best thing about the comic, as it veered from the New Who tradition of having just one female companion most of the time. Alice is 40, which is a nice change, but obsessed over her mother way more than I would like. Overall, I just wasn't super impressed with this and probably won't read it again. Hopefully 11th Doctor comics in the future are better.
