I've seen people here talk about the colouring being a bit weird and off with the yellow bloom, and sure compared to the other Titan comics it definitely is, but for me it just adds to it feeling more like a season 1 story, I mean, compare it to some season 1 screenshots.

As for the plot, I think it's interesting to see more of the fallout from the time war, we don't get enough of that in the main show outside dalek stories, there's a few references to it, but having it be the setup for the full plot here, people trying to take over the power vacuum left by the time lords, is pretty interesting.

I also really like some of the ideas and worldbuilding implications, the black market bazaar on a world under a held back supernova, the nods to the time agency and the idea that while they're doing good, they're small fish in a very big pond, the brief looks at the doctor's past with the time war and Jack's picking up on some of the doctor's comments about it, talking about Jack's future, etc.

The character interactions are also just perfect, I love this trio as a tardis team and I love that expanded material can give us more adventures with them. It's especially fun seeing Jack clearly early on in his adventures with the team compared to Boom Town when they've been traveling together a while.

For all the praise I'm giving it though, I do think the storytelling itself is a bit weird in places, a lot of fakeout deaths that don't really go anywhere, a lot of exposition, and one thing I've found strange with a lot of the comics, the designs for the aliens don't really feel all that Doctor Who to me.

Overall though, I feel comfortable giving this a 7/10, and I'd definitely consider adding it to a Season 1 rewatch.
