I sadly didn't get a chance to review this immediately after finishing this volume, so this review will be more of an overview of the volume as a whole than talking about each individual issue.

And now, we reach the end of my reviews on The Eleventh Doctor Volume 4: The Then and the Now. This issue really heightens the pace and moves the story beyond setting the story up.
Once again, this review will have full spoilers for this story and the previous story in The Lost Dimension. Hence, read at your own risk.
In this review, I will be discussing full spoilers for this first issue of The Lost Dimension, though I will not discuss events that happen in later issues.
Sadly, my review series for Titan's Eighth Doctor miniseries comes to a close with what is perhaps the best story of the lot. Spoilers for this series will be present.
Like the previous story, this one wasn't the best. Once again, it was set in the past and brought up characters at the end of the story that barely appeared at the beginning, which was rather confusing. This was my primary grievance with the story, but overall, I didn't find it to be interesting story, especially when compared to the other stories in this miniseries. My main complaint is one of the stylistic choices made with how the art on some pages is organized. When there's a full-page with a set of a few images closely related, the lines between panels are blurred, making it so that multiple copies of each character appear on the page, leading to confusion as to what the order of the panels is and what exactly is happening. Thankfully, this only hindered my reading and enjoyment a few times. Otherwise, the art was as good as it always is, and was creative in a way not possible with the budget of the television series. I really enjoyed the flashback towards the end of the story and the revelation that it was the servants who had defeated the aliens in the past, not the wealthy family. I also liked the point the Doctor made about how the rich and famous often take credit in history from those in a lower social position from them. Overall, this was a decent story, with the Doctor and Josie being as well-characterized as ever.
This might be one of my favorite Doctor Who comics I've read. It isn't exciting and not particularly enthralling, but it's extremely creative in its formatting. Each set of two pages starts with a single full-size page, followed by another page with panels creating the general shape of the TARDIS.
