review 1: hm i want to come back to this. it was sweet and cute. i think the brevity worked in its favor since it was so clearly fanservice and i don't think i could've taken much of it. but for all its nonsense, it was still a quick and fun read. i might've given it a three because some of the panel compositions were striking enough, but that feels a bit much compared to how i rated previous things. 2 - 2.5 for now. maybe i should just steer away from hugo nominated graphic stories.
review 2: I read this story because it was nominated for the Hugo Award. It's a cute, but slight story about what happens when the real Doctor lands in our real world, befriends a 12-year-old girl, and goes to a Doctor Who convention where he meets Matt Smith, the actor who plays him on TV. ... moreThere are some humorous, albeit fairly predictable, moments where the Doctor is confronted with cosplayers and only manages to come in second in the masquerade competition. The underlying anti-bullying message is well done, but the whole thing just seems like an afternoon-special. I know the Doctor Who bloc of the Hugo voters is very powerful, and they love their Paul Cornell, but this story really does not belong on the Hugo ballot, especially considering the many great graphic stories that were published in 2013. less
