Such a brilliant Doctor Who story. I haven't engaged with any of the other Time Lord Victorious media (apart from the TV episodes) and was suspicious of how much of a standalone it really was. After reading though, I can say that the graphic novel provides a fully formed story while still giving links to the stories in other media.

This was my first time reading a graphic novel so I wasn't sure whether I would like it beforehand but, upon completion, I can say I really enjoyed the format. Both the Daleks and the Doctor were very well written in the story (I couldn't help but hear their voices as I was reading) and as I was both reading the dialogue and looking at the images, the story came to life.

The actual story for me highlighted the dynamics between the Doctor and the Daleks brilliantly and it seemed like a classic Tenth Doctor story.
