Interesting that somewhere in the middle of this comic they flip from mid season 8, to mid season 9 (given Danny was mentioned before, and now The Doctor is taking up the mantle of president of earth again after Death in Heaven). Not sure why Kate’s drawn with grey hair, that was a bit weird. Overall I quite liked this, it felt like a good climax for 12’s first year, and… wait there’s one more? Okay then? But yeah, the Hyperion are a fun returning villain, one that you could imagine on the show, but probably wouldn’t get for budget reasons. I liked the characters in this as well, and the ending worked really nicely for me.
I do agree that the constant end of the world stakes do feel not great when we’re getting them so often, but still very fun
