So with fourteen issues of build up, is the payoff to it all satisfying.....

Eh, I mean, kinda.

I feel this story resolves itself too quickly and too easily. There's a lot of stuff in there about Eleven's plan going wrong, and how everything's doomed now, but you never really feel like it's going to end badly. The other characters around him are mostly just acting fine with everything and like it's all already sorted (which in a way, it almost is), and so it never lives up to other finales.

Eleven, Alice, and River here are..... fine. I don't really have much to say about it, Alice calls Eleven out for how he's basically just been manipulating everyone for this entire year, but because he's sorry about it and was doing it for good reason it's fine? I guess?

I don't only have criticisms here though, there's one thing I've absolutely loved about this year of comics, and his name is Absolm ■■■■■■■ Daak: Dalek Killer. God I adore this himbo. His utter glee at killing Dalek-Squire, and the very end when he's sent back into The Time War. What's not to love?! Easily the highlight of these comics and I'd love to see more of him.
