What they got right: Although the story itself is a bit odd, the ending is rather satisfying, and a rare example of the "Magic Reset Button" properly used. (Although a story set post Millennium Wars might be interesting, some status quos should remain.) The second story has many the good qualities of the new series episode "Love and Monsters", without the exploration of the world of Doctor Who. It reminds us that until Russel T's concepts, Earth is mostly unaware of the outer universe, so anyone who even tried talking of actual other planets would probably be seen as being a UFO nut themselves. I wonder if Sarah Jane is the only companion who had trouble re-adjusting to a boring old Earth life?
What they got wrong: Using other Whoniverse-based comic stories, like personal favorite "Abslom Daak: Dalek Killer", Marvel US did a better job spreading the stories out in their comics than IDW does, and comics had more pages back in those days. I wouldn't mind seeing those comics, and ones I've only seen in other collections, like the Daleks' own comic strip.
Recommendation: A satisfying end to one arc, and a fun little stand-alone. Worth getting, and I hope more Shayde stories are re-printed.
