I thought the choice of villain was interesting and surprising, though I do wish Rose had gotten more time with the others, since she is so intwined with this story.

Spoiler
we were meant to think adam was in the wrong and, sure, he was. but the doctor's apology is shockingly bad. he's like ohh sorry for what happened to you. no YOU did something wrong as well. idk i get adam really overreacted but the doctor literally took 0 responsibility lmao. i hate adam but,,,, i feel like i sympathised with him way more than we were meant to. yeah. this meant the ending was not satisfying big rip.bexh's review against another edition

I’m a recent Doctor Who fan (I started watching it a couple of years ago) but I love everything with the Doctor! I have lots of merchandise! And I love the comics and novels! They’re so fun because they have different stories that aren’t seen on the show.
One of the great things about this graphic novel is that it features all of the Doctors up until number 11. Though I’ve only watched the new series, and a couple of the original episodes, I loved seeing all these versions of the Doctor. Though he looks different, he’s always the same guy.
After many of the chapters in the graphic novel, there is a page with some commentary from people who worked on the comics. It’s interesting to see the changes that the comics went through over the years, as well as the process of moving Doctor Who from the TV show into print.
This is a great graphic novel for fans of Doctor Who!

3.5 out of 5. When you've got so many cooks in the kitchen, the result was always going to end up spreading a little thin - but it was a delight to see all eleven Doctors get their shot at the spotlight. I wish I'd seen this when the 50th was ongoing, as it would've been as good (if not better) a way to celebrate the legacy of the series. Still, it was a fun read even after the retconning and everything else that has since occurred. The merits of the graphic novel angle are up to more frequent graphic novel readers - I just know that I liked some issues better than others but that, in the end, spending time with the Doctor is always going to be fun.

Short story bursts of no consequence but with accomplished art in traditional styles so established they tend to be overlooked. The best feature is the throughline following Adam and his quest to make the Doctor evaluate his careless chaperoning of his companions. This, another question posed without answer though. Would be nice to see The Doctor learn and evolve emotionally rather than more defensive fawning from the companions. "Because love"/"Because he's The Doctor" just don't cut it for me.
