Es war echt schön wieder in die Welt abzutauchen 🥺 Ich war ziemlich überrascht wie sehr mich manche Kapitel und Aussagen emotional mitgenommen haben. Ich denke der Ton des 11. Doctors wurde sehr gut getroffen. Auch Arche, Jones und Alice haben mir als Charaktere sehr gut gefallen. Manchmal bin ich in der komplexen Geschichte nicht ganz mitgekommen und manche Zeichenstile haben mir besser gefallen als andere, aber insgesamt habe ich es sehr genossen wieder in eine der besten Sci-Fi Welten überhaupt zurückzukehren 🥰

I really wanted to love this collection, as 11 is one of my favorite Doctors. Sadly, I just didn't. I can appreciate all the work that went into it, as it looks beautiful. I love all the backgrounds, the character designs, and the colors. It's the narrative that just didn't work for me. It was one giant over-arcing storyline, and I just couldn't get into it. It ended up being boring and I found myself distracted easily. The Doctor seemed completely in character in the beginning, and I was having a good time. And then he made some choices that didn't seem like him at all, and spend the last third of the collection making up for it. His companions were interesting at least- a 60's glam rocker named Jones just starting his career, an alien entity named Arc, and a woman from 2015 named Alice. This was probably the best thing about the comic, as it veered from the New Who tradition of having just one female companion most of the time. Alice is 40, which is a nice change, but obsessed over her mother way more than I would like. Overall, I just wasn't super impressed with this and probably won't read it again. Hopefully 11th Doctor comics in the future are better.

This was kind of disappointing, to be honest. I enjoyed some of the story and some of the art but for the most part, it's overwhelmingly confusing and not really well-executed.

Doctor Who : The Eleventh Doctor Complete Year One
Al Ewing, Rob Williams, Alice X Zhang, Boo Cook, Simon Fraser, Gary Caldwell, “Doctor Who, Eleventh Doctor: Vol.1 After Life” (London: Titan Comics, 2015)
- - -
QUOTES: Ch.1 - “After Life”
Alice (referring to the TARDIS): “We're in a different dimension in here, aren't we?”
Doctor: “Yes! Clever!”
Doctor: “I knew you were clever, I can usually tell. What do you do again?”
Alice: “I told you. I was a library assistant.”
Doctor: “Books! That'll be it. Clever and books, usually go together.”
Doctor: “Which is why I like libraries! Apart from the ones that try and eat me.”
QUOTES: Ch.3 - “What He Wants...”
Doctor: “First, best use of a time machine, Alice … going to see ALL the classic gigs in the universe that you've only ever read about.”
QUOTES: Ch.4 - “Whodunnit?”
Doctor: “First rule, Johnny-Boy! Never read the reviews! Second rule is never admit you DID read the reviews. 'Very rude, tasteless coat, two stars.' - Which planet-saver. I've never forgotten. The important thing is keep trying, you'll get there eventually ...”

DOCTOR WHO: The Eleventh Doctor. Vol.2: SERVE YOU
Sorry, but not as good as the other volumes. Cool illustrations and a few memorable quotes. ***
The first story is clever in its conception but poor in its result. “Chapter 6 – Space In Dimension Relative and Time” is set in reverse chronological order. There is clear parallels and allusions to films such as 'Star-gate', 'Contact' and 'Big Hero 6'.
Quotes from the Chapter 9 story include: “A corporation is a very special kind of monster. And we need special methods to destroy it.”
“Well, i'm the man the monsters fear. I'm the oncoming storm. I'm the Doctor. And I. Have Had. Enough.”
Chapter 10: “Once upon a time, there was an excited, scared … rather LONELY man who stole a MAGIC BOX. Because he didn't want to live according to lots of very old RULES. He wanted to have adventures. He wanted to SEE things. And he wanted to SAVE people.”

Doctor Who: The Eleventh Doctor – CONVERSION
by Al Ewing, Boo Cook (Artist), Hi-Fi (Colorist)
“A thrilling TARDIS chase through the atmosphere — after no ordinary comet! Tracking the Entity's signal from the Berlin Wall in 1976 to Rome, 31 AD, the Doctor, Alice, Jones and ARC stumble into an ancient mystery that will forever change the course of human history! And the burden and dangers of a life aboard the TARDIS start to hit home for Jones — is this his farewell tour?” ***

I'm old enough to do that.
I've seen my share.” - Gabby

This comic collection was one massive story arc and I thought it was super interesting. The Doctor is not perfect and shows how he's actually a mad man, the TARDIS is actually shown to be alive, and the Doctor's companion is discount David Bowie. Even if it wasn't really him, I love the idea of him traveling around the stars and saving and inspiring people through time and space. Those are all the things I loved about this comic collection. Curious how it will continue in the next volume. I just took a point off for the sometimes disturbingly bad art. Sometimes it was great and sometimes it was so bad, it was creepy. But props for the whole thing being in color. That must've taken a long time especially for all the shading. I know that's not easy.

Oh how wonderful this was reading! It was so charming but what’s with writers giving Matt Smith a very connected storyline that won’t make sense until the very end?
I loved the moments this comic run brought. It was very cinematic and timey wimey. Very clever as well. All in all such a good book.

Keeps the spirit of dr who alive.
Well written and while the art isn't always up to par, the story and feeling you get from the book is.
Fans will love it!
However, none fans of dr who will miss some references, but overall will be able to follow the story.
