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.

I do not have much experience reviewing comics having just started to read the genre.
Thus, please take my review with a grain of salt.
Since I have not yet read these issues in order, that does affect my interpretation of the plot. For example, with this book, I have not read the other two compilations in this series that feature the sapling, depending instead on the summary on the first page. However, I enjoyed the story, even if I did not understand how certain things triggered other processes, as per usual with Doctor Who. :)

Personally, I'm not a true Doctor Who fan (I enjoy it to a degree), so I sometimes lost interest in the Doctor's quick dialogue and episodic adventures (hence my 2-star rating). However, Doctor Who fans and/or those who enjoy random, wacky adventure tales will appreciate this graphic novel series.

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.

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.

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