This book is divided into 3 parts: Agent Provocateur, several one shots, and The Forgotten.
I hated Agent Provocateur. It didn't feel like a strong story. The conclusion was rushed and almost skipped over. What's the point then?
The one shots were ok, but would have been better if they were longer and actually developed a story.
The Forgotten was another compilation of all the Doctor's regenerations. It's pretty much a greatest hits of his personalities and his companions. I have read several of them and have come to realize I hate this format. There's hardly any story because they are too busy piling in the Doctor's catch phrases to have him really say something. Also if you haven't watched old Who, much of it just goes over your head. I think they use this to their advantage because some of the personalities weren't right.

awesome story lines like you would expect from Doctor Who. since if the art is great, some not so much. styles from story to story were different and it definitely took some getting used to. as both a Doctor Who fan and a comic book fan, I enjoyed this book

Averaged out the seven awesome stories against the single problematic one and some very bad uncanny valley art styles, to arrive at 4 stars. Basically like watching Doctor Who in comic form, and it really reminds me how much I’ve missed the show. Thank goodness for Jodie Whitaker motivating me to care again.

I think this is really more of a 3.7 but close enough. The last story was definitely the best

This compilation of two comic book serials and five single issue stories by a variety of authors and illustrators was my first encounter with the Doctor in this medium. The transition from moving pictures to sequential still frames was neither wholly successful nor a complete disaster. It was OK, if a bit choppy. It made the story occasionally hard to follow, especially in the longer serials. The art ranged from the more lifelike to more stylized representations of the actors, but in all cases, because of the medium, the subtler changing expressions on the actors faces that would be captured by a motion picture camera was missing.
