Sometimes, it’s okay to be ashamed of fandom – or at least, some of it. Today is one of those days, as Peter Davison has quit Twitter after quotes from him have been taken out of context and used against him. This led to vile comments, the likes of which really make you question whether the true messages of Doctor Who have been getting through to some fans. This began with a tweet. Specifically,…
As esteemed philosophers, The Bee Gees once said: ‘it’s only words’ and as Doctor Who begins a brand-new story now, my love, it’s more important than ever to address any imbalance in an argument or any incorrect assumption when it comes to the Thirteenth Doctor. And perhaps the most egregious example of this has been the phrase ‘strong female character’. Heck, even the sainted David Tennant used…
Following the traditions of the previous few years, Titan Comics return to the San Diego Comic Con later this month with an exclusive comic – this time, featuring Peter Capaldi’s Twelfth Doctor and Pearl Mackie’s Bill Potts!
Written by Richard Dinnick (Doctor Who: Myths and Legends), the comic, called The Last Action Figure, sounds ideal for the convention, which is typically filled with fans looking for elusive items. Here’s the synopsis and a sneak peek inside:
“When the Doctor and Bill get entangled in the hunt for an impossibly-rare action figure, their journey takes them all across time and space!”

It comes with two different covers, both by the hugely-talented Alice X. Zhang, one featuring the Doctor and the other Bill. Meanwhile, art inside is provided by Mariano Laclaustra, Carlos Cabrera, and Nico Selma.
The issue will be available at SDCC’s Booth #5537, where Dinnick will be on hand to sign copies!
Elsewhere, the convention will also include two first-to-market window-boxed vinyl figures: the Eleventh Doctor, circa Closing Time with his name-badge (in case he forgets his name); and a Pandorica Opens (ie. the painting by Vincent van Gogh) TARDIS.
The San Diego Comic Con takes place between 20th and 23rd July 2017.
Are you lucky enough to be going to SDCC? Will you be picking up any of these? Or will you be scouting eBay for them afterwards…?
Titan Entertainment Reveals Their SDCC 2017 Exclusives Following the traditions of the previous few years, Titan Comics return to the San Diego Comic Con later this month with an exclusive comic - this time, featuring Peter Capaldi's Twelfth Doctor and Pearl Mackie's Bill Potts!
Filming for the Doctor Who Christmas 2017 special concludes this week, and the production team will be busy assembling footage to show at this year’s San Diego Comic Con. As part of Peter Capaldi’s final SDCC appearance in relation to brand new Doctor Who (sorry), the panel will include an exclusive preview of the festive episode, written by Steven Moffat (expected to be his final story for the…
It’s that time of year again, when thoughts turn to the ultimate geek out festival that is the San Diego Comic Con! The mother of all nerdery and father of hyperbole! OK. Over the top rhetorical rambling aside, this year’s con will feature appearances from Peter Capaldi and Steven Moffat. I expect they may be talking about Doctor Who at some point, so expect lots of humbleness from Capaldi and…
