A bit confusing and all over the place,but I did like the artwork. May reread it and see about finishing this series later. Recommended for heavy duty Doctor Who fans! 3.5 stars rounded up to 4/5 🌟.

A short but very sweet and enjoyable read that goes through all the reincarnations of the Doctor, leading up to the 13th! Each Doctor was drawn in a different art style which I thought was a very unique and fitting touch! I thoroughly enjoyed it, though it's probably best for people who are already pretty familiar with the characters! It's just a really enjoyable read, and I'd definitely suggest it to any longtime Doctor Who fan!

Not my thing. The artwork was great, most of the time, and even the weaker panels were still above average. But the plots ... well, they would’ve needed a lot more fleshing out. Without loads of additional information, I just can’t follow them. There are too many bits missing in each of the short storylines.

I really enjoy these comics even though they never do anything groundbreaking. They feel like alternate ways of telling typical Doctor Who stories which I always tend to enjoy. (I also read several of them in quick succession. Thus, no individual reviews for each of these.

This story takes place during the Twelfth Doctor’s regeneration into the Thirteenth Doctor. He thinks back on each of his different regenerations as the Doctor. It’s a great recap of the entire series.
I loved that each version of the Doctor was illustrated by a different person. They all had distinct personalities, so they were all illustrated differently in this book. Some of the ones that were more quirky, like the Fourth Doctor, had more of a cartoon drawing, while more serious characters, like the Ninth Doctor, has more realistic graphics. My favourite illustrations were of the new Thirteenth Doctor, because they were so realistic that they looked like photographs of her!
I’m not as familiar with the Doctors from the original series, but I could recognize some of the characters. I wish there were more of my favourite characters in the recent Doctor stories. For the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors, other characters were in their stories who I think are from their comic series. I wish there were more recognizable companions with those Doctors.
This is a great introduction to the new Doctor!
