This story was a mixed bag for me. I really liked the parts with Sarah Jane. They were good conversations and fun to read. I was, however, not interested in 10’s solo trip. It was just a bit much and too cosmic. I like it when it feels more down to earth. I gave it 3.5/5 in the end, but I thought that it was hard to rate.

Yeah, I read this a month ago and can’t remember much. I feel that these Tenth Doctor comics tend to go a bit overboard and that makes me less engaged.

6/10.

Vortex Butterflies is an ambitious, character-driven arc with high stakes, emotional farewells, and an intriguing Doctor-on-Doctor moment. However, it struggles with pacing, overindulgent dialogue, and a finale that feels like hitting a brick wall rather than a satisfying resolution. While Gabby’s fate is handled with care, her transformation into a time-sensitive risks making her feel less like a grounded companion and more like a cosmic anomaly. The art shines in key moments, but overall, the story is drawn out longer than necessary. It’s a mixed bag—brimming with ideas but occasionally weighed down by them.
