So this was the first Doctor Who comic I've ever read, I read it few weeks ago when I realized that there won't be any Doctor Who until Christmas, and honestly, I quite like it, the companions are awesome (especially John Jones, and Alice reminds me a bit of Donna, which is good), and I really think that the writers got Eleventh's character quite right, the only complaint I have is probably concerning the artwork, I don't know, maybe it's just because I haven't read a comic in years.

I'm in love with these Doctor Who Titan comic series. Good artwork, dialogue that captures the essence of Matt Smith's Doctor and really exciting, fun adventures. My only gripe would be how uninterested the companion, Alice Obiefune seems to be with all the time and space travel and how persistent she is with going home to meet with her landlord when the Doctor is so willing to show her all the universe has to offer. Great fun, nonetheless, and I can't wait for more issues to be released.

The stories feel enough like an episode that I was satisfied. I do feel like some of the chapters jumped for a huge amount of time in places, so it took a second for me to realize what was happening. Maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention? But there were a few times where I went back in the chapter and still didn't a hundred percent get what was happening right away.

I really liked the companion in this comic. Alice was super fun and definitely different from the type of characters we see in the show. I love the black and white symbolism in her introduction.

The art for each chapter was really beautiful, but I wasn't as big of a fan of the actual stories' art. Eleven always looked a little blob-ish or weird. He was recognizable, but never quite right for me.

This was fun. Characterization of 11 was good and I like the new companions. The only problem is that each issue was a separate adventure and I don't think Doctor Who stories translate too well to comic issues, they were a little lackluster. The art was fine but has the unavoidable issue that it can't look exactly like the tv show, The Doctor looked a little off at times, Matt Smith's likeness is much better on the cover. It's fine but as someone who have seen each 11th Doctor episode at least twice (sometimes way more times) it bothered me.

Nice addition to the Dr. Who story line. Really liked the first two chapters in this collection.
