Yeah, I have to agree that it wasn't that great. But of course Paul McGann was the redeeming part of this story and I did laugh at a few things Eight said regarding to Izzy's comic obsession. But yeah, not sure yet about Izzy's character. Maybe I'll need to read the comics where she's in and we'll see.

This was one of the worst Big Finish audios I have ever listened to. Almost every aspect of it is beyond grating. Maybe Izzy has some hidden charm or appeal I don't know since I've never read the comics, but good god, her voice is atrocious. No disrespect to the voice actress, but it's so high-pitched and shrieky - was it meant to be childish? The missing comic story was... a thing. The outer space comic place was... a thing. It all passed in one awful haze. I did not enjoy a single minute of this. Not even Paul McGann's silky smooth voice could save it.

I certainly agree with critical consensus on this site that this is the weakest among The Company of Friends, but I'd go a little farther to say it is so by a wide mile.

I get that this is supposed to be light-hearted, goofy Doctor Who fun, but the key word in that is fun. I did not have fun. I found the jokes and silliness kind of lame and a little too over-the-top for my tastes, and some of the jokes about girls in comics or the nature of the evil comic book company all felt really old hat to me. I did like Izzy though, and the way she just wanted to learn about the last issue in a comic series is an adorable hook for a Doctor Who adventure.

Her and Eight are great here, but I found the voices of a lot of the other characters pretty grating at times if not awful in their delivery. Just chewing the scenery in the worst way possible. I did not enjoy this one.
