The Girl Who Loved Doctor Who by Paul Cornell
3.0
This was...interesting.
I liked it but was left somewhat disappointed.
First off, this comic seems to be decidedly for children whereas other comics, and the show itself, are appropriate for children but are in more of a rated E for everyone category.
Secondly, not a whole lot happens and the things that do happen are a bit boring. For example, since the Tardis has fallen into a parallel universe, our universe, the Doctor comes face to face with Matt Smith (note this is not a spoiler as it was the selling point of the comic). This meeting is not quite as humorous or as exciting as you would think. Basically Matt Smith is dressed like a chav....
...and thinks that the Doctor is in cosplay.....boring
The tone is very sappy with an anti-bully type message. I did like the whole, be yourself, and love Doctor Who, but it all felt very juvenile.
Overall, I liked it but thought it could have been so much better. It's a fast read and meant to be an ode to fans, but be warned, it does have a PSA vibe and a lackluster plot.
