The first 2 issues of this volume were fantastic see reviews for #1 and #2.The companion feels different and interesting (extra points for being a library assistant) and the stories can stand on their own. Then there's the 3rd issue were things take a turn. We get a new companion who is basically David Bowie, well at least he will be some day. Considering Bowie is one of my favorite people I should have loved this, and I did love the various Bowie reference, but overall...It just didn't work f...

So this was the first Doctor Who comic I've ever read, I read it few weeks ago when I realized that there won't be any Doctor Who until Christmas, and honestly, I quite like it, the companions are awesome (especially John Jones, and Alice reminds me a bit of Donna, which is good), and I really think that the writers got Eleventh's character quite right, the only complaint I have is probably concerning the artwork, I don't know, maybe it's just because I haven't read a comic in years.

What a great story. Some lives can be so tied to being a caregiver that a person is just lost when the one they take care of passes away. Leave it to the Doctor to help someone find themselves again with the usual chaos that he always seems to find. This would have made a great tv episode. it is very well crafted and fun.

The Doctor's characterisation is spot-on, and the book has some great diversity, but I just couldn't really get into it. It's pretty much the same plot five times over followed by the same unsubtle moral (be nice to people and don't treat them like things) each time. Alice is a great companion, but I was astounded to find out by the end of the book that she's 40. The artists have a whole lot of issues, including — but not limited to — making Alice actually look 40, drawing Matt Smith's face, dra...

Ahhh, I just love the Doctor, especially Eleven. I missed him. I think he was written pretty well in these first 5 issues, especially in the last 2. I didn't really like the art in the first 3 issues--it was pretty boring and Eleven looked really creepy. The last 2 issues though were nicer, with thinner sketch lines and a more simplistic style.I like Alice, the companion in this series, especially since she feels different from the companions on the show. Really, not the *best* comic book volume...

The artwork was really good and the story compelling enough to draw me in and make me read volumes 1 and 2 back to back, non-stop and into the wee hours of the morning.

This was fine. Characterization is decent. Story is mediocre.

Bow ties are cool..... I had to pick this up and give it a read because sometimes I miss the eleventh doctor. This was a fun quick read, not to terribly exciting but also not bad either. The art work is not the best, I mean in Doctor Who's universe they could have done some truly amazing things, you know it could have been crazy and out of this world instead it just seems a little simple.

The stories feel enough like an episode that I was satisfied. I do feel like some of the chapters jumped for a huge amount of time in places, so it took a second for me to realize what was happening. Maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention? But there were a few times where I went back in the chapter and still didn't a hundred percent get what was happening right away.I really liked the companion in this comic. Alice was super fun and definitely different from the type of characters we see in...

After limping my way through the Tenth Doctor's series, I was pleasantly surprised by just how good this first volume of the Eleventh Doctor's adventures are. Then I checked the front cover, and saw that it was Al Ewing and Rob Williams writing, and the lightbulb went on.Set just after Amy and Rory's wedding, this volume sees the Eleventh Doctor recruiting a new companion in the way of Alice Obiefune, a forty year old library assistant who has just lost her mother, and heading off on a series of...

Surely I would have gotten started on Doctor Who if I didn't have kids making me watch it, right? Sometimes I just feel appallingly out of it. But not when I'm reading or watching the Doctor; then I feel out of it in an amusingly clueless way. Sure, bowties and fezzes are cool. How does anyone ever survive their own parents?Library copy

I'm in love with these Doctor Who Titan comic series. Good artwork, dialogue that captures the essence of Matt Smith's Doctor and really exciting, fun adventures. My only gripe would be how uninterested the companion, Alice Obiefune seems to be with all the time and space travel and how persistent she is with going home to meet with her landlord when the Doctor is so willing to show her all the universe has to offer. Great fun, nonetheless, and I can't wait for more issues to be released.

First time reading a Doctor Who book, and I went in to it loving Al Ewing but not-so-loving the 11th Doctor, Matt Smith. Ewing makes this Doctor's pedantic smugness into an obvious character flaw and introduces a new companion that made me laugh and smile (be she and I are both *library assistants*, not librarians).I love the way the Doctor intervenes in cliché human vs. alien enmities. Definitely looking forward to reading the rest of this run.

This as a really fun read though it felt like it jumped around just a little too much. For a full review please check out my youtube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCizd...

The best part of "After Life" is the great new companions that it introduces for Eleven. Alice is terrific, but also a pretty standard NuWho companion introduced in a pretty standard way. But also getting a young David Bowie to join the crew. And maybe an artificial intelligence too? That's all kinds of cool (and the type of multiperson crew that I really love). Oh, and Ewing and Williams do a great job of capturing Eleven's voice.The structure of the stories, with the sting, the credits, and th...

Fantastic job keeping Eleven believable and in-character. The stories feel like they've escaped from missing episode scripts and the Doctor's new companion doesn't feel like a repeat of any of his counterparts from the show. She has some of Donna's spunk, which I love.Wholly original stories, completely in-tune with the show's feel and quality.

This was generally just an okay volume for me. I think the opening issue was quite good, and good to see resolution of some of the plot points throughout the volume, but some of the issues were a bit hit or miss. When it came to the characters, I thought Alice was a good new character, and could really empathise with her. John Jones on the other hand, intentionally or not, was somewhat bland and forgettable. And for me, the Doctor just didn't seem to be captured right at quite a few points, whet...

I really liked the first issue of this new comic book run for the Eleventh Doctor but the stories beyond that were a little uneven, which has been my experience across the contemporary Doctor Who titles of this period. It's not bad but not amazing and the art got really uneven in the middle of this compilation.And it's not a problem with the companion or even how the Doctor is portrayed as a comic book character. But there's something lacking in the adventures they've crafted for him and his lit...

Rabbit was very excited to borrow After Life from her school library and told me I should read it. I've never read a Doctor Who comic before; the stories in here felt like watching mini-episodes, and I thought Eleven (the last Doctor I've watched) was perfectly in character. The art was meh for the most part, and there seemed to be issues drawing Matt Smith's face. But Alice made up for it. I liked her a lot. A couple of the issues in this volume were better than the rest, but it was a fun way t...

This was fun. Characterization of 11 was good and I like the new companions. The only problem is that each issue was a separate adventure and I don't think Doctor Who stories translate too well to comic issues, they were a little lackluster. The art was fine but has the unavoidable issue that it can't look exactly like the tv show, The Doctor looked a little off at times, Matt Smith's likeness is much better on the cover. It's fine but as someone who have seen each 11th Doctor episode at least t...
