I thought that all three of these stories were kind of nice. Nothing amazing, but nice. They had some fun moments, and I feel like the Sapling makes a good addition to the team. The best that the Eleventh Doctor’s comics have been in a while. The art was not great…

Time of the Ood is a bit of a Sapling-lite story and it brings back the Ood for a fairly forgettable adventure.
6/10
Time of the Ood is a serviceable but unremarkable entry in The Sapling arc. It’s a quick, contained adventure that revisits the Ood and briefly separates Alice and the Doctor from their new companion. While the story moves along at a brisk pace, it doesn’t offer much that’s new, either thematically or narratively. A decent but forgettable issue.

Memory Feast is fun! A traditional adventure inside a deserted spaceship, revealing all kinds of secrets and surprises. It’s nothing groundbreaking, but I enjoyed the art and the ideas.
7/10
Memory Feast is an aesthetically striking entry in The Sapling arc, filled with grand sci-fi concepts and an immersive setting. However, its weak tension and rushed resolution stop it from reaching its full potential. It’s an enjoyable mystery, but one that doesn’t quite deliver the payoff it promises.

Finally, we have Fooled, another fun entry set at a medieval fun fair. It’s all fine and dandy until we bump into a memory thief. Another strong outing for Sapling and the art style.
7/10
Fooled may be a short adventure, but it’s an enjoyable and visually appealing one. It provides an important lesson for Sapling, while keeping the tone light and engaging. The alien jester’s motivations add a nice twist, making this a fun, if simple, detour in the Sapling saga.

Fooled was one of my first Who stories!

Time of the ood was… well it was there
The art’s not the best, and the villian being an activist without a cause who’s now just killing people is… certainly a choice
5/10 for me

The Memory Feat was fine, not really much to say tbh, there’s some great visuals, but the plot itself feels pretty rushed, the ending especially so. There’s a lot of potential, but they didn’t use it as much as they could’ve done, this had the potential to be a really nice and emotional story, especially with Alice’s backstory and the first part of this year’s comics, but that’s only really there in the background of a single panel. Kinda wish they cut Time of the Ood to focus on this.

Fooled is a bit of lighthearted fun, but it doesn’t need to be any more, and it doesn’t try to be, it’s just content being what it is, and that’s nice!
Also good to actually get a story where The Sapling is there and matters
