Lol. I did not know that this was going to happen
Yep, that story has pretty bad art I remember thinking that they’ve completely ruined River!
Just wait until you hit Empire of the Wolf and you won’t complain about this art anymore lol
I have read the whole collection now. This story is just not doing anything for me. The characters are badly written, the threat is just big and abstract, and the art is terrible. I am glad that there is only one book left of Eleven’s second year; it has been the worst part of Titan yet for me.
What’s wrong with Empire of the Wolf?
Putting a few examples under a cut, it’s mostly badly drawn characters
Summary
For example, this is Rose Tyler:
And now, which doctor would you say is on the left here?
You probably guessed wrong, because that’s meant to be Paul McGann.
If that image seems familiar though, you’re right because a lot of the art is also traced (which is not necessarily a bad thing if used properly which it very much isn’t here).
Compare for example, this panel
And this promotional photo for the TV movie

This same piece of art has also been used in at least four more panels in the rest of the comic, with only very minor alterations.
I don’t know what kind of stress the artist was going through for this, but imo this needed a lot more work
A ashame, as Ingranata’s work on Origins and Missy was really good.
Yeah, her other work is much better from what I remember, so I’d guess it was probably a rush job, and outside pressure, I mean, you never know what precisely is going on behind the scenes. A lot of it really seems like ‘this comic has to be done in two days, where can I cut a corner’
An I thought it was Cpt Jack dressed as Ten
Just finished this volume and loved it, it’s so deliciously dark and the timey wimey shenanigans are great. My main complaint is River didn’t need to be here and was weirdly assholish, but that’s about it. I love seeing a darker side of the Doctor, the Squire is a fascinating character I’m so invested in, and Daak is great comic relief in addition to being plain old fun. The worldbuilding goes crazy and the slowly unraveling mystery is such a good time. There’s so much to get invested in here and the new characters elevate it lots. Also the war doctor!! I haven’t listened to his BF stuff so I’m so excited to get into War Doctor EU via this comic.

Yes.
Yes it is.
