One of Doctor Who‘s scariest monsters, the Weeping Angels made their terrifying return in the Matt Smith story, The Time of Angels/ Flesh and Stone. Having only previously appeared in the David Tennant adventure, Blink, the Angels were an instant hit with fans and would go on to enjoy many further appearances both on screen and in spin-off media. This is our brief history of the Weeping Angels…

If you need your fix of Doctor Who comics, Comixology has you covered – because the company’s offering up to 66% off Titan Comics’ Tenth Doctor graphic novels!

In case you’re not aware of the range, it’s written primarily by Nick Abadzis with art from a range of talents including Elena Casagrande, Arianna Florean, Elenora Carlini, Warren Pleece, and Giorgia Sposito. It’s a fantasticseries, and…

Titan Comics has just revealed its upcoming special issue for Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) 2018 – and it features a first look at the respective comic series starring the Seventh, Tenth, Eleventh, and Thirteenth Doctors! Ah, but it sounds like the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors’ titles have new creative teams, and it also seems that the Twelfth Doctor comic has been cancelled… FCBD happens on Saturday…

This year, Titan Comics’ event, The Lost Dimension, tells a huge narrative, embroiling numerous incarnations of the Doctor – notably the Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth. But it takes a plethora of skilled writers to concoct such a grand tale. The DWC caught up with Nick Abadzis, whose name you’ll know from the excellent Tenth Doctor series, to find out how The Lost Dimension came into being;…

It’s sometimes easy to underestimate the importance of Doctor Who comics, novels, and audios, given the amount of televised material we’ve had to spoil us since 2005. Back in the late 1980s, things were very different, when fans had to endure their favourite show being wedged into timeslots that would hasten its demise. We knew then that ‘winter was coming’. Having to keep pace with shows like…

All good things come to an end, and The Tenth Doctor Year Two has been a very good thing indeed. But would it end with a bang or a whimper? Pleasingly, it’s a bit of both. This shouldn’t come as a surprise; Nick Abadzis’ writing has frequently delivered intimate stories with huge scope, and he does the very same here, in Old Girl: War of the Gods Part 5. While the Doctor is forced to face the…

As we hurtle towards the final issue of The Tenth Doctor Year Two – and hasn’t it gone quickly?! – things are looking pretty dire for the Doctor, and his companions, Gabby Gonzalez and Cindy Wu. Why? Because Sutekh the Destroyer is coming back. This is a being of unimaginable power, revelling in the hurt and destruction of all. The odds are really stacked against the Time Lord, and indeed, the…

If you’ve been reading Titan’s Tenth Doctor comic since Year One, the return of a major villain from the Fourth Doctor’s tenure should come as no surprise. Spoiler alert: it’s only Sutekh the Destroyer! It shows on every page that writer, Nick Abadzis is a fan of the Philip Hinchcliffe and Robert Holmes era: this is a love letter to childhood memories of that wonderful pyramid of Mars – but…

Gallifrey. It’s strange, seeing the Doctor’s home planet. It’s cause for great excitement, and that can naturally result in a huge let-down too. For every Deadly Assassin, there’s an Arc of Infinity. The joy at seeing the capitol at the end of Heaven Sent led to the bitter disappointment (at least to me) of Hell Bent. Gallifrey gives you a lot to live up to. Fortunately, in The Tenth Doctor…

And so here we are: the final arc of Titan Comics’ Tenth Doctor Year Two begins with #2.13. For those keeping tabs on the title, this can mean only one thing. Anubis is back. I really hope Fourth Doctor fans are picking up this comic, and having been doing so since the first issue. Anubis is obviously the son of Sutekh the Destroyer, the omnipotent creature from Pyramids of Mars, and this comic’s…

It’s easy to underestimate the amount of work that goes into even a single issue of a comic. You flick through, eating up the dialogue and action as if you’re swallowed into a movie. Take a look at the credits, because writers and artists rightly get a lot of praise, but you can’t forget the inkers, colourists, letterers, and editors. Music Man, the twelfth issue of Titan Comics’ Tenth Doctor…

Music seems to be an unlikely but successful theme in Titan Comics’ Tenth Doctor title. As writer, Nick Abadzis revealed to The Doctor Who Companion in our exclusive interview, it was inspired by the idea of the Doctor’s song ending soon, as established in Planet of the Ood. Nick went on to explain that he listened to music while writing: “Music is very important to me – always has been. Many of…

Though this isn’t always the case, it helps if comic book writers also have a history of art or design. Of course, those with a great love of the medium will no doubt have an intimate knowledge of art, and specifically what makes an effective page. Nonetheless, writers who have blurred the lines in their careers can deliver a story that excels in giving the artist something amazing to draw and…

Comics – the fine art of sequential storytelling – have enthralled audiences with their engrossing lore, breath-taking cliffhangers, and coupons for mail order x-ray glasses. There’s much to love in reading tales of Gods fighting it out, cops chasing down criminals, mythic beasts stalking the streets of a major metropolitan city, and of course, a rich uncle who entertains his three nephews while…
