If you are a fan of Doctor Who and you live in the United States, I have some news that may excite you. IDW have decided to launch a series of Doctor Who comics featuring the travels of the Eleventh Doctor, Rory and Amy.


The comics will launch in January 2011 and issue 1, which will be written by Tony Lee, will see the Doctor and his companions, Amy Pond and Rory Williams off on their time travelling adventures. The art in the first comic comes courtesy of Andrew Curry, with cover art designed by Tommy Lee Edwards.

IDW's Doctor Who editor Denton J. Tipton had this to say:

Storylines for the new book include holographic spam fighting, Mad Max-esque mercenaries, Victorian Jack The Ripper suspense, penalty shoot-outs against Vikings and Cybernetic Space Pirate Dinosaurs. There's going to be something for everyone. For example, fans of the classic series should be on the look out for a classic Doctor Who villain! I could tell you who they are, but I'd have to kill you," adds Lee. "Let's just say we've been given special dispensation to use them, and we have a killer story in all senses of the word!

The comics are priced at $3.99 but as of yet there are no plans for a UK release.

I love comics. I hope they end up releasing it over here. I read this morning that there are legal issues about it being released in the UK, so hoefully they will get resolved. Otherwise I am going to have to look for some sort of import

I couldn't see a topic for his yet, apologises if there is.  I've found a sneak preview of the first issue, there's the 3 covers and the first few pages.

I love the MS Word joke on page 7 Cheesy

Is this the one that is only being issued in the US? I hope it comes to the UK! The artwork on it is great

Sandi, I've moved this thread to 'Silence In The Library'. I think there might be a thread for it already but I will let Chris or Peri dig for it and merge them if there is Smiley

There is a thread for an IDW comic, but I think it is a different issue. Could always merge them and just give the thread the umbrella title of IDW Comics or something?

Cheers Doc and Double P.

AFAIK it is only a North American release, but I have to say I'm gonna try and get my mitts on a copy as I want to know what happens next, lol.  Amy seems a lot more sorted in it, and I love the idea that using the universal phone infects the TARDIS with every spam email ever, brilliant idea Cheesy

It was released today and on the website it says 'Only Available for Purchase in North America'.  If you don't have more highly technical ways of getting it, I can always mail it to you as a last resort Smiley
