I wonder if the artist behind this comic had ever seen a picture of Karen Gillen before. The pigtails are something to behold.. with kitten heels and hold up stockings. What a strange choice.

There’s a good idea here somewhere. Children are being taken over en masse (similar to Children of Earth) via a friendly cartoon character and a promotional drink. It’s the Axons behind it, which is an interesting pick for a returning monster. But then there is a lot of The Doctor explaining a complicated plot in a really unnatural way. There’s a lot of epic jumping from scene to scene without a chance to settle as a reader.

Once you get beyond the Amy Pond design the best thing about the story is the art, which is vibrant and exciting. The Axons look fabulous, but the final fight between the giant Axon and the children's cartoon character is wonderful and weird. The story itself is not nearly as exciting. It’s your classic runaround.
