I'd blame my allergies for not being able to come up with a joke if the cover wasn't so bland.

After a quick trip to 2011 to learn what’s changed in the new time line, which included Amy’s death, the Doctor and Rory have a limited amount of time before the changes become a permanent part of history. Teamed with Inspector Abberline and the alien posing as the chief of police, our heroes track down the Jack the Ripper alien and finally stop his spree, although not without a sacrifice.
What they got right: I went into this story with reservations, as you may recall from my review of the first issue of the arc. Now that it is over, I can safely say that Tony Lee continues to not let me down. The end result really was an interesting story and he does a great job with the characters.
What they got wrong: While I have nothing against the art, it didn’t work for me personally, although you can tell who’s who and what’s happening so it isn’t bad, just not to my taste. Run-on sentence for the lose. 😛
Recommendation: I can safely continue to insist Whovians should be reading this comic.
Never interrupt Amy discussing her soaps.
