The stories were too short to be satisfying, and some Doctor's voices were captured better than others.

I’ve read many other doctor who comics and this one wasn’t as good as the rest. It was good for 29 pages I guess, but it wasn’t too spectacular or anything. I found the ninth doctor’s story most entertaining, but the story for ten and eleven confused me. I guess it was good considering I got it for free and it was my first time reading a comic on iBooks.

Twelve Meh. I didn't really get the story or Twelve as a Doctor.
Eleven I'm not even sure this was as story?? I left off at the end of this story and when I picked it up again, I'd forgotten I'd read it, so that's not a good sign.
Ten The concept of the TARDIS being alive is interesting, but I don't like how they keep introducing new companions for Ten (Gabby and Cindy). They're too similar and have no real characterization.
Nine By far the best. Reads kind of like an actual episode. I liked that Rose and Jack Harkness were the companions here, as them being two people I know and love helped me visualize what was going on and the tones they were using.

Another collection of short Doctor Who comic stories. This instalment was better than the previous one and included Doctors 9, 10, 11 & 12.

Doctor Who comics are not for me.

I prefer companions I know (which means those in the tv show), especially when it comes to 10, but the stories weren’t bad. Just a bit rushed and not thought through (like using the reality shifting helmet for something good).

Fun reads

The Doctors adventures are always fun and entertaining to read about! I like meeting some of the newer companions that weren’t in the show.

Free comics are great! It was interesting to familiarize myself with another Doctor Who media. I started to really miss all the Doctors when I read this, I could hear their voices in my head and see their grins right in front of me. However, a few pages per story is usually not enough to make it a strong one, and in these the best part was not the plots (that were sometimes inventive but the day was always saved far too easily) but the banter of the Doctors. Because I have never read DW comics before, more than half of the companions were completely new to me and the stories did nothing to make me interested in them, which lowers my rating.

Four different stories with the Docs on the cover. Thankfully no Ponds (I hate the Ponds, great actors however). Enjoyed 12 with Osgood in particular.
