'The Fractures' Part 2

On our Earth, UNIT scientist John Foster was killed in an accident... but in a parallel universe, his wife and daughter were killed, while that world’s John Foster survived. One thought kept that John going through his grief – somewhere out there, in some other reality, his wife and daughter still lived. 

Working obsessively, Foster has devised a way to breach the membrane of the multiverse and cross the Void into our world, unaware of the horrors that will follow in his wake… 

What dark creatures live in the veins of the multiverse, reaching out to ensnare those foolish enough to breach into their domain?

The Doctor and Clara are about to face... The Fractures!

STONE HANDS STALK THROUGH THE CRATERS OF THE SOMME…

When Gabby and the Doctor arrive by accident in No Man’s Land in July, 1916, they’re met by Corporal Jamie Colqhoun – a soldier who knows from bitter experience that there are worse things than the Jerries out in the rat-strewn trenches.

Things that drift through the smoke of a thousand cannon shells, and move only when you look away. Shadows that flit over artillery-blasted field hospitals and throw their terrifying wings over the living. Statues that steal your life in an instant.

The Weeping Angels.

But in a conflict where the life of young men is cheap, and thousands die every day – are the Angels actually offering salvation?

Trapped in the midst of a flock of starving Angels, the Doctor faces his most challenging and terrifying moral dilemma yet!

New Humor Strips from Titan Comics!

TITAN COMICS ANNOUNCES DOCTOR WHO HUMOR STRIPS BY AWARD-WINNING CREATORS OF ‘DUNGEON FUN’, ‘CHLOE NOONAN’, ‘HOUSE PARTY’ AND MORE!

 

Titan Comics is proud to announce the creators of Dungeon Fun will join Rachael Smith, Emma Price  and Marc Ellerby in the line-up of stellar talent producing humor strips for Titan’s Doctor Who comics!

Debuting with Doctor Who: The Twelfth Doctor #2, Colin Bell and Neil Slorance produce single page humor strips focusing on The Twelfth Doctor and Clara’s further adventures in space and time. 

For Bell and Slorance, whose all-ages comic DUNGEON FUN won all 4 Scottish Independent Comic Book Awards in July, this is a dream assignment.  

Bell says, “To be the men who put the words in the mouth of The Man Who Stops The Monsters is an incredible honor for us both!

“We're concerned with what happens in the smaller moments between crises, when the galaxy's not being saved. Who takes the bins out? Where do they go for lunch? Neil and I hope to answer these questions; and as always, the answers await us... in time! “

Bell & Slorance join the incredible line-up of back-up creators Titan have assembled, along with Rachael Smith and Emma Price on Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor, and Marc Ellerby on Doctor Who: The Eleventh Doctor, with more artists to be announced!

“As someone who loved Matt Smith's time as the Doctor, I'm over the moon to be involved with the brand new comics,” says Marc Ellerby. “I'm donning my fez and raggedy blazer to help power through the drawings!”

“I’m so excited to be able to work on these strips,” Rachael Smith adds. “I'm having so much fun writing for the characters!”

Emma Price says, “It’s thrilling being able to support such a diverse and accomplished range of creators in a new era of comics adventures with the Doctor!”

“It’s a delight to showcase the work of some immensely talented indie creators through the Doctor Who comics,” says Doctor Who editor Andrew James. “Hopefully we’re introducing our readers to a whole universe of new writers and artists, as well as offering some charming and hilarious shorts with these beloved characters.”

Doctor Who: The Twelfth Doctor #2 is on sale in comic stores globally and via comiXology from November 19.

Whoah! Review

If you read Doctor Who Magazine since the return of the show to television in 2005, you have have seen the Doctor Whoah! comic strip by an artist named Baxter. That gentleman's real name is Jamie Lenman and with the help of small-press publisher Miwk (pronounced "milk") Publishing he has collected all of his strips into a book called Whoah!: Eight years of bizarre cartoons from the pages of Doctor Who Magazine.

 

I was a fan of Lenman's strips when they were in DWM. His humor was quirky and off-the-wall, which coincidentally fit his art style. Lenman's cartoons gave you plenty to admire and provided readers with a different look at Doctor Who on many levels and this collection shows that off in a lovely package.

 

Having all of the Doctor Whoah! comics in one collection is brilliant and I am glad that Matt West and the rest of Miwk Publishing compiled this book. Not only do you get all of the strips from DWM but Jamie also provides the Moments in Time strips he created for the Doctor's 50th anniversary and some brand new strips you can only find within the covers of this book.

 

The production value of this book is top-notch. Not having seen a book produced by Miwk, I was really surprised by how lovely this book is. From the cover to the paper stock, the page printing to the coloring, everything looks amazing. This is there first foray into releasing a book with artwork on this scale and it excites me even more for their next book along these lines - a collection of Doctor Who comics from Tim Quinn and Dicky Howett. 

 

The only drawback to this collection (which has nothing to do with the contents of the book) is that the high price point may keep some readers away. If you are a fan of funny Doctor Who material, great artwork or Doctor Who in general, do not let this scare you away. You definitely get your money's worth in this volume and won't be disappointed. 

 

Jamie Lenman has a unique, abstract art style and a compatible outlook on Doctor Who. Having a complete collection of all of his strips is something that most Doctor Who fans don't know they want but if you would put it in their hands would be glad you did. This splendid, humorous book has something for everyone and should not be passed by.

Tenth Doctor #4 Preview!

Coming your way on November 4th! Thanks to Comic Book Resources:

ONE TRIP, ONE TIME, ANYWHERE IN THE UNIVERSE.

WHERE AND WHEN WOULD YOU GO?

In exchange for the invaluable assistance she offered defending New York – and to say sorry for dropping into her life like a tornado! – the Doctor has promised Gabby one trip – just one trip! – in the TARDIS.

With the whole universe laid before her, all of time and space, where will Gabriella Gonzalez choose to go? What will they find when they get there… and can one trip in the TARDIS ever be enough?

More importantly, the Tenth Doctor has been hurt by the fate of his companions before – and recently! With Donna still fresh in his mind, can Gabby convince him that he shouldn’t travel alone, for just a little while longer?

Eleventh Doctor Preview!

Thanks to Comic Book Resources for posting this!

Eleventh Doctor #4

PICKED OFF ONE BY ONE BY AN ENTITY FROM THE STARS!

Alice Obiefune always wanted to see a space station – one of those proper ones, like on the telly, with impressive bulkheads, sweeping corridors and stunning views of eternity. Maybe with an exotic matter wormhole nearby, if it’s not too much trouble. Aliens optional, but a bonus as long as they’re friendly.

That’s just one of the reasons Alice and the Doctor have come to a remote space research facility.

The views are breathtaking… but so is the formless creature creeping through the station, stealing voices and inflicting comas on those research scientists unlucky enough to be caught.

Tracking the temporal trail of the slippery SERVEYOUinc corporation, has the Doctor found more than he bargained for? And will this entity from between the stars be the death of them all?

Writer Al Ewing (Loki: Agent of Asgard) and artist Boo Cook (2000AD, Elephantmen) ramp up the claustrophobia for a terrifying space adventure!

Episode 13 is Up!

The Twelfth Doctor has finally made it to comics! In the new episode I review Titan Comics' Tenth Doctor #3, Eleventh Doctor #3 and first issue of the Twelfth Doctor comic as well as Part 1 of DWM's The Eye of Torment. I also question artist Dave Taylor and chat with Titan's editor Andrew James! Go to doctorwhopaneltopanel.podomatic.com to download the episode or find it on iTunes under Doctor Who: Panel to Panel!

Twelfth Doctor comic preview!!!

Titan Comics releases the Twelfth Doctor comic Wednesday October 25th! Check out this sneak preview!!

Offering shocks, surprises, and galaxy-shaking revelations, seasoned TARDIS pilot Robbie Morrison (Drowntown, The Authority, 2000AD, Nikolai Dante) and New York Times-bestselling artist Dave Taylor (Batman: Death by Design; 2000AD) mark the start of their first five-issue run by diving headfirst into the console room and pulling all the levers they can – spinning the new Doctor off to his most challenging destination yet!

Freshly regenerated and with a new head full of unanswered questions, the Doctor (as played by Peter Capaldi) whisks Clara Oswald (as played by Jenna Coleman) away to a strange and distant world.

Clara thought she was in for an evening of marking essays on the Metaphysical Poets, followed by going out on a date – or at least trying to. You know, normal stuff.

Instead, she’s facing down exotic flora and fauna in her best dress, backing up the Doctor on a trek through traumatically alien undergrowth – and she doesn’t even know what the Doctor is searching for, or what will try to kill them should they find it!

New Face! New Doctor! New Beginning! Get in on the ground floor of this amazing ongoing series!
