My first comic. They're just not really for me. I prefer the TV show.

This was the first Doctor Who graphic novel I have read, ever. I really enjoyed the artwork and the writer seemed to capture the essence of each respective Doctor pretty well. I am really interesting now in reading more comic entries. I liked the story and it would have made for a great episode. I'm glad I picked this up. Allons-y!

Very timey-wimey.
Probably a bad starting point for a non-fan. Some nice character work and call-backs.

I loved the story and I loved seeing the different Doctor's interact with one another. My favourite interaction was in the end when they wondered where the Ninth Doctor was, and he was in the cafe with Rose, I really appreciated that tribute to them< /spoiler>. I also really enjoyed the companions interact with one another, it was really interesting to see how Clara interacted with companions we never met in the show.
The art style was a bit inconsistent, there were times where I didn't recognise characters (Clara and Ten suffered this the most) but the consistency of the story helped solve this. I found the antagonists backstory incredibly heartbreaking, and it only goes to serve just how important Clara was to Twelve. I think that understand adds dimension and depth to the show, it expands that relationship and I found that really cool.

This is an appropriately timey-wimey multi-Doctor story by the writer of Father's Day and the novel [b: British Summertime|882782|British Summertime|Paul Cornell|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1179170783s/882782.jpg|868059]. Clara finds a picture that should be impossible, and sets out to make sure that it doesn't happen. As you'd expect, the rest of it doesn't go to plan. It's a fun story primarily involving the the 10th, 11th and 12th Doctors, although others do make cameos. Clara is travelling with the 12th Doctor, but the companions of the 10th and 11th Doctors are ones that we haven't seen on TV (Gabby and Alice respectively). I don't know if they're been around in the comics for a while, but having just encountered them in this one graphic novel, I can definitely say that they feel like the kind of people that the Doctor would hang out with, so that's a definite bonus.
The Doctors themselves are mostly written to their own characters although occasionally the 10th and 11th feel a little interchangeable (not something that can be said for Spiky Twelve). I found the art a little inconsistent: at times I wouldn't have recognised someone if it weren't for what they were wearing (dunno if it was just me, but the 10th Doctor seemed to suffer from that the most; I don't know if David Tennant just has a difficult likeness to capture).
I also liked the little mini-comics at the end of each issue (especially the one with the Doctors doing various sketches from British comedy, but then I'm a bit of a fan of Neil Slorance).
So, a fun story, although I did have to read it twice to grok it, what with the time travel, alternate timelines (I particularly liked the Time Lord Victorious) and paradoxes, but it's definitely satisfying.
