Recall the Time to No Return was a story that had me hooked the first moment I started to read it, but as I continued I started to see saw some flaws in this crossover story. This why I was hooked on the story is that I am a huge fan of both series, Doctor Who and MLP:FiM. I'm pretty going to state, honestly and bluntly, what I liked and didn't like about this graphic novel. Since this is a crossover story, I will look at how this story handles both the universes and their characters.
Let's get into the good parts of this story, first. First, all the art is beyond fanatic. I liked the shading you give the artwork and felt like I was reading a published comic I would from ComiXology. Secondly, you nailed each of the mane five to a key there was not one moment that felt OOC for Rarity, Fluttershy, RD, Pinkie, and AJ and each of them have their moment to shine. I also loved Spike in the story being a leader and him giving cool moments as well. I also I love the premise itself, an Empress Twi who is old and wise and has been ruling Equestria by itself for years. The story is also fairly well passed too, and I felt this sense of dread throughout the comic and GashibokA nailed if that was there intention. On the MLP: FiM side of this crossover story, it is done fantastically. The story is set in a 1000+ year later story, and we get to know what happens to Equestria in that time. We get to know what happens to the Mane Six at that time too. If anything, GashibokA fleshed this future of Equestria they created. MLP side of the crossover graphic novel is done well.
Now for the criticisms for this graphic novel and oh boy, there is a lot. My first general criticism is that the plot twist you can see a mile away coming. You can the first time you see Twi you can already tell that isn't Twi and the other for her student being an alicorn you can also see coming to if you piece the puzzle together. For the MLP side of this crossover, there is only one criticism I want to through at it, and that is Twilight, herself. Outside of expedition, we never gave to chance to know this 1000-year-old Twilight. The only moment she appears in the present day, she dies and goes into the afterlife. We are told that Empress Twilight is wise and powerful, but we are never shown it, which is a shame because I would love to got know this Twi outside of flashbacks. My main gripes, however, are on the Doctor Who side of this crossover. GashibokA nailed The Doctor's bitterness well, but that is where my praises end with Doctor Who side of this story. First is how Rose Luck and The Doctor are handled. Rose has zero impact in this story, and her dialogue could be replaced by any of the mane five. Heck, some of her lines could be replaced by The Doctor himself. My other disapproval, comes with a monster for this story, the Zygons and how it doesn't answer one basic question: Why are the Zygons invading Equestria? This question is never brought up, which leads to two other problems with the story. First, the Doctor doesn't try to talk to the main villain, Brotonia. In most of the Doctor Who's story I read or listen to, Doctor tries to find out why the villains are doing what they are doing. For example, in the episode GashibokA keeps refereeing to throughout the story, The Day of The Doctor, the Zygons are given a reason why they are invading Earth. The reason is that the home planet was destroyed in the Time War and they need a new planet to rebuild themselves. Without the "finding out why" part of this Doctor Who story it leaves the Zygons and Brotonia a very one note or 2D villain. That transitions into the next problem are that the Zygons are just changelings, but they look like Zygons, instead of love, they feed on magic instead ( that's how I interrupted at least), and they even have their version of Queen Chrysalis, Brotonia. If you replaced the Zygons with the changelings in this story, it would have made zero impact. So The Doctor Who side of this crossover is done very poorly.
My feelings on Recall the Time to No Return left me with mixed feelings. The MLP side of this story was done fantastic, and I was wondering what was going to happen to our heroes throughout the story. When the story needed a quiet moment between the mane five, it did, and the art made each moment itself look beautiful, including those moments. However, the Doctor Who side of this story is disappointing at best, poorly at worst. The companion had zero impact on the story; we never find out why Brotonia and the rest of the changelings want to invade Equestria make them a very one villain. If were to grade this story it would be 70-75 percent title. When it does good, it's good, but when it bad its bad.

A friend can be many things and come from many places, so never say "always be alone" it's never accurate. (if you need to talk to someone just PM me and we can set something up.)

Wait is this pony heaven in the future after Empress Twilight crumbled to dust?
If so this is a beautiful, legendary ending.
The perfect way to end.

This ending is PERFECT!
Also, while I never minded Twilie becoming alicorn, I think that reverting back to unicorn was a nice touch because she was a unicorn on day 1 of their friendship.
I really hope this bonus ending is included in the book.

AAAA MY POOR HEART! Thank you, Gashiboka! This was amazing and brilliant and emotional. And this bonus page hit me like a wave of feels, thanks

This was a wonderful story! I did cry at both Twilight vanishing and here. This last page reminded me very much of Argo's Remembrance where she reunites with her friends and loses her wings.
Oh my, on a double take, I just realised she reverted to her younger self as well. Well, that is how afterlives go.
Also, during the Doctor's inner monologue, I couldn't help but imagine each paragraph in the different Doctor's voices (including the US Movie and Slice of Life). Was tough because I haven't watched every episode from the very beginning, mostly the documentary before the revival with Eccelston.
Again, marvellous work!

I should have known this had a couple of pages before it was officially finished. What a fantastic comic. I haven’t found a comparison yet. Your story line, story execution, usage of color and dialouge fell together exquisitely.
Thank you for taking the time to create this piece. I enjoyed every bit of it. Each page seemed like a little present within my inbox.
