So, they didn't announce this thing we all knew about for ages, till something else happened that we knew was going to happen for almost ages?

Part One: Daughter of Albion "Princess Victoria Arkwright never knew her father, a man whose shadow she has lived under since he saved the multiverse from the cataclysmic forces of the Disruptors. 23 years after she and her brother Henry were born in the flames of war, Victoria seeks answers, but the truth lies deep in shadow. As rebellion gains momentum against Queen Anne’s totalitarian rule, dark forces grow at the heart of the British Empire, forces that threaten all realities. The multiverse needs Luther Arkwright to save it once more, but Luther Arkwright is dead..." Part Two: Cataclysm "Victoria Arkwright is drawn towards destiny as she unravels the dangerous secrets that have remained hidden since her brother’s brutal murder. Prophecy says that reality will cease on her 23rd birthday – Victory Day – but with the help of Harry Fairfax and Rose Wylde, Victoria is determined to prevent the new apocalypse. To unlock her true self, Victoria must embrace painful realities and the enormity of the multiverse; only then will she discover the legacy of Luther Arkwright."

Am I the only one who thinks that the first one was a complete mess? I mean, it has some brilliant moments, and Paul Darrow is amazing in it, but it almost incoherent in parts. This second one is not quite as much of a mess, but the last 20 min are really hard to follow. There really wasn't much of Luther Arkwright in it, actually. But what can I say about India Fischer? She's absolutely brilliant. Every scene with her is reason alone to listen to this. So I have a hard time answering the poll, because how I feel about this story is a little like how I feel about it's predecessor. It changes scene by scene, and sometimes moment by moment.

That sounds pretty faithful to the source material in both cases!
I read the original graphic novel immediately before listening to the first audio. The opening was so fragmented and non-sequential that it took me a few attempts to find any rhythm (though it did clear up and win me over in time).
Going from that right into the first adaptation, it seemed a very slick and faithful recreation of that spirit, for good or ill. But when you’re already familiar with the big picture it so obtusely pieces together, it’s impossible to fully judge on its own merits as a completely new listener would. Your reaction suggests it’s a pretty similar experience.
The second graphic novel is far more linear and focused, and as you flagged, Luther’s really only a supporting character. I had wondered whether they’d increase David Tennant’s role or once again keep it faithful, so this is really good to know.
