I always thought the seventh Doctor was underrated. I was right.

I'm not a big graphic novel fan, but I loved the 7th Doctor and Ace. Quick read, and some good stories. Though Ace looked to be blonde in one of them which threw me a bit. Would probably read again.

A fun whimsical adventurous comic but is let down by being too overcrowded.
I have never seem Classic Who but I still really enjoyed this comic. Borrowed if from the library and I do not regret it all. The content was jam-packed and fun to read. I'll start with my negatives and then go into the positives.
Really enjoyed the comic but what let it down was how overcrowded the novel felt with characters. Although I knew who everyone was it felt very overwhelming to go from character to character without warning. It also bloated the plot and gave us less development for Ace And The Doctor. Doctor light stories can work but it didn't here for me unfortunately.
Secondly I felt like the pacing was way too quick and that the plot would have been alot better if it had more pages. I felt like without Ace and The Doctor being the focus we lost alot of plot. Would have loved if things were better fleshed out so I could connect to all the other characters better.
With that out of the way onto the positives. I loved the fact that they tried to make the comic to all readers. Even those who have never seen Classic Who. The best way they did this was by having a character guide at the beginning of the book of everyone that was gonna be featured in the story. The only reason this isn't rated lower is because the character guide helped me understand everyone that would appear and their purpose for being there.
I also loved the art. It was bold, colourful and beautiful. I almost couldn't read the text because I was entranced by the gorgeous art on page. Christopher Jones through his art style has incredibly brought the world of Doctor Who onto the page. Huge props because the art really helped immerse me into the story.
Finally I loved the dynamic between all the characters. Despite being overcrowded its super fun to see Ace hanging out with other Scientists that also refuse to put up with any Misogyny. It's also fun seeing the Doctor slip easily into a Unit like leadership role and help the military combat any alien threats. Also Ace and The Doctor dynamic threads the story together in a fantastic way to the point you can really see how much The Doctor trusts and respects Ace.
Overall a fun amazing comic with lots of action and intense drama. Wether your a Classic Who fan or just a Doctor Who fan overall I cannot recommend this enough.

The main story, "Operation Volcano" was pretty fun. Ace and Seven are amazing and I will always want more from them. The shorter story at the end "Hill of Beans" was a pile of crap. The art was bad, the story rushed and confusing, and it featured a not so subtle Trump substitute. Which is a shame because I'd love to see more of Mags.

Too little Doctor and Ace and too much random companions. Still a good story, need more.
