Really great little mini-series. I like how the Fugitive Doctor is characterised, she feels exactly like how I'd imagine an early version of the Doctor to act. The story was really interesting and I didn't expect the twist that the colonists were Time Lords. I did however expect the twist with Taslo. 4 issues just isn't long enough to really make you get to know the character, so the betrayal didn't hit hard at all. I liked the idea of a Weeping Angel companion, I wish we'd seen more of them. I also really enjoy how this story portrays Time Lord corruption, basically everyone but the Doctor has their own hidden agenda in this.
The artwork is really nice, it gets the likeness of Jo Martin down quite well and I love the strange Time Lord colonist designs. The worlds they visit are also very vibrant and interesting in a way only this medium can achieve. I love how this manages to feel like no other era, there really aren't any Doctor Who stories that feel similar. All this makes me really excited for the Fugitive Doctor audios coming out soon, if they nail the vibe of this then I'll be more than happy with them.
