Review of Doctor Who and the Time Witch by NobodyNo-One

The Time Witch - ★★★☆☆

Brimo, the titular character, have a lot of potential. It's not the intention of this story to do so, and therefore that's not the perspective that I look at The Time Witch; but it's easy to read the openning pages and question if her punishing was fair. It doesn't seem so. Anyone in her position would have gone mad. There is a longer version of this comic that put the morals at the center and builds an engaging character piece; but that's not the version that exists.

It's innofensive.  Imaginative enough, given its premise, and very fun to read; but in my opinion we see a better realised version of this concept later on DWM publication, with a much stronger character conflict played out (that chapter in The Glorious Dead, if you ever read it you'll get the comparison). I still love the art and my favorite part is the guardian of Brimo's dimension; I love his design.

This is the start of doom for Sharon. On its own the decision to age her could lead to interesting stories; but I know that what follows is just weird. The weirdest "coming of age" ever.
