Relative Dimensions

I wanted to check out this Titan comic to get a bit more of a sense out of the Celestial Toymaker, knowing he's going to be a bit of a thing this year, by all accounts. This story didn't disappoint in that the Toymaker is featured quite well, and the whole comic is heavily enhanced by the gorgeous artwork of Mario Laclaustra and vivid colouring of Carlos Cabrera. They do an excellent job at really giving this comic energy and life. Laclaustra in particular crafts a beautiful comic full of really creative pages, panels, and ideas. I suppose some of those ideas have to come from writers George Mann and Cavan Scott, who have a pretty good story at hand, but also some awful dialogue.

The dialogue of 12 and Clara in particular is so bad is almost ruins the entire experience.

I wish it could have been better, since the art is so good, and the idea of this being a story relatively early in the Toymaker's history, but relatively late in a character like Clara (or really, just the Doctor compared to his first incarnation) - that was interesting, and could have been great, but ultimately feels severely underplayed. I had a lot more fun with the other Relative Dimensions. Oddly enough, even though both projects are very different, they have quite a few similarities, as both stories are Christmas themed and even feature Susan in some capacity. It's all really cool. I wish they did more with these ideas.
