I didn't know this follows on from Exodus code so I was a bit confused, and the way the story jumps between the different plot lines was really choppy and just added to my confusion

I enjoyed this and I love that Torchwood is back in comic form by the man who plays Captain Jack Harkness himself.
But it was all over the place at times and it makes me think of how Station Zero will play out but all the same, I enjoyed the storylines.

To be honest, I think I'm just giving this three stars because I miss the TV series so darned much. The beginning was confusing, especially since this graphic novel includes a character who never appeared in the TV series but did appear in a novelization I've never read.
The scene jumps all over the place - I really mean ALL over the place. That made it exasperating trying to figure out how the parallel plots in these different settings would ultimately fit together. And as for the ending - well, there isn't one. The story continues in the next graphic novel. Hopefully by then, the parallel plots will come together and make one coherent story.
But I'm not holding my breath.

it’s enjoyable but really all over the place. Quite disjointed and hard to follow but i wouldn’t say that stopped me enjoying it. Was seemingly as fast paced as any episode of torchwood would be.

Unfortunately I haven't read the Torchwood novel Exodus Code, which I think this is a loose sequel to; lots of fun stuff happens, including Captain John Hart (as portrayed by James "Spike" Marsters) taking over the original Victorian-era Torchwood estate, and some gorgeous art with some nice nods to the show (and one or two nods to Doctor Who). But it's only the first part of an ongoing narrative, and who knows when I'll get another chance to visit Forbidden Planet...
