Preview IDW Publishing’s Final 10th Doctor Comics

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

Remember when Doctor Who comics were covered here fairly regularly? That sort of faded from the forefront when it became more and more difficult to track down IDW Publishing’s solicitations and previews. I guess having a rabid fanbase just isn’t enough these days. Just for today though, we return to those thrilling days of yesteryear with the September and October solicitations for the final two issues of IDW Publishing’s Doctor Who comics featuring David Tennant’s incarnation as the Doctor.

IDW Publishing Doctor Who 15

DOCTOR WHO #15

Final Sacrifice, Part 3 of 4: War! What is it good for?! As Torchwood faces off against Torchwood, The Doctor discovers the truth about Kol’Ne Wah and finds Matthew, while Emily and Hugh try to stop the world from rebooting! But what is the Advocate’s terrible plan–and why are the fifth-dimensional Tef’Aree involved?

32 pages, $3.99, in stores on Sept. 22.

DOCTOR WHO #16

32 pages, $3.99, in stores on Oct. Expected in-store date: October 13, 2010.

 

No word on when the new series featuring Matt Smith’s 11th Doctor will kick off, but as always, I recommend checking on IDW Publishing’s web site for more information.
