Everyone knows I absolutely adore Paul McGann, (including Paul McGann) so naturally I was super excited for this. I love Eight to bits and his personality and kindness always amaze me.
This collection was fun to read, albeit a bit too rushed. I would've loved to see more nuanced stories rather than short stories without much depth. But I like the character of Josie and the beautiful art and cool monster designs. The Doctor himself had moments that showed a darker self behind his nice demeanour, which is refreshing to see.
The 3rd story has to be my favourite, reminding me a little of Camera Obscura perhaps. Very atmospheric and a brilliant idea I would love to see on screen some day.

Nothing about him really stood out, but the adventures were classic Whovian fare.

Fun romp with the eighth Doctor. This comic also introduces Josie as a companion, it's a brief story but I look forward to reading more adventures with her.

This was a fun, little volume. I don't know how well it depicts the Eighth Doctor, because I didn't start watching Doctor Who until after his time, but I enjoyed it more than the comics of earlier Doctors that I read

I love the 8th Doctor! So I was excited to read some fun stories and adventures involving him and his new companion. Overall, I really enjoyed how each issue connected to the next and how it created an overarching mystery to solve.

The Eighth Doctor remains one of my all-time favorites. I just love his excitement when it comes to... well, pretty much anything. Also, I just love Paul McGann, so there's that too. My goal in life is to listen to all of the Eighth Doctor's audio adventures.
Anyways! I greatly enjoyed this graphic novel. The stories were fun, and I liked the surprise appearance at the end. I definitely want to continue reading this series.

This was really cute and really well drawn. It gives a lot of character to the 8th Doctor and really expands on who he is in this particular regeneration with hints from the others. It's my first encounter with 8 outside of the (travesty of the) movie and I really liked what I saw! I also liked the way the story was linked so well done there.
Spoiler
my one quibble is that there was no reason for the 12th Doctor to be involved and it didn't really make any sense. Seriously just let this be about 8. It doesn't have to have 12 to keep it relevant. :/
