Nice seeing the 8th doctor. Rose wasn't annoying but helpful. The story moved quickly. Not a lot happened but appreciated the look at what happens with the best of intentions. ( )

This is a sequel of sorts to Alternating Current: that tenth/thirteenth Doctor crossover introduced a Rose Tyler from an alternate universe where Earth was occupied by the Sea Devils. The alternate Rose was a resistance leader, and at the end of that story, the tenth Doctor dropped her off on a planet in our universe that could use her help. It's also a follow-up to "Doomsday": our universe's Rose is also in the story. She's been living on Pete's World long enough, married to the "metacrisis" Doctor, to have a teenage daughter. The other Doctor and Mia are only cameos, because Rose is pulled back into our universe due to some kind of temporal shenanigans that I didn't feel were ever really explained.

But this story doesn't feature the tenth Doctor... instead it features, for some reason, the eighth and the eleventh. I don't know why. There's not two Doctors worth of stuff to do, and the story doesn't do anything interesting with its multi-Doctor premise. (But then, has any Titan multi-Doctor story?) Did anyone want to see two different Roses interact with the eleventh and eighth Doctors? Why would they? The Sea Devil–Earth Rose has a decent story, but the Pete's World Rose could pretty much be any companion, except for a very brief sequence where she has to pretend to be the other Rose. Lots of flash, but like so many Jody Houser and Roberta Ingranata Doctor Who comics, it seems to have nothing to say.

Doctor Who: Empire of the Wolf is a fabulous graphic novel. A great joy to get a story with Rose Tyler and the eighth and eleventh doctors. And a cameo of the tenth doctor. I always love what-if stories and alternative worlds stories. so, this story was just right up my alley. A plus is that the characters were drawn so well that they looked like the characters from the TV show. ( )

What a pleasure to read a new adventure of the Doctor ! And it is not one, but two space travelers who team up in this mission ! As Eleven is in the Tardis, wishing for peaceful holidays, he arrives on a lonely planet, governed by a blonde woman, nicknamed the Empress. He is soon joined by Eight, who just met a certain Rose Tyler. The rest is a Wibbly, Wobbly, Timey, Wimey story.

I don’t often read Doctor Who graphic novels, but it was certainly very fun. We discover a very depressed Eleven, as he just lost the Ponds, an innocent Eight that didn’t face the Time Wars yet and an older Rose, married to Ten’s clone and mother of a teenager. It was certainly really interesting to revisit these characters, not seen for years, if not almost a decade.

Let’s be honest. This graphic novel will only be enjoyed by Doctor Who fans. But it was surely very entertaining and I was really happy to read it, having a big smile as the characters were meeting. ( )
