Titan Comics has revealed a preview of the first issue of Doctor Who: Time Lord Victorious, which kickstarts a multi-licensor-delivered cross-media epic that spans novels, comics, audio dramas, merchandise and video games, with many announced stories listed here.

First teased back in June, Doctor Who: Time Lord Victorious offers a huge arc of stories featuring the Eighth, Ninth and Tenth Doctors, with opening Titan Comics tale focusing on the incarnation played by David Tennant.

The whole Time Lord Victorious project launched next month over twelve weeks, with products and experiences releasing from September until January 2021.

Coming from Titan Comics is a two-part tale offering a thrilling new adventure for the Tenth Doctor (as played by David Tennant on TV), which the story sees the shocking return of his deadliest enemies: the Daleks…

But things aren’t what they seem – time is all wrong, and something is coming that terrifies even the pepperpot perils – who are making their first ever appearance in Titan’s Doctor Who titles.

“Titan’s comic story is quite unique,” says Jake Devine, Editor of Titan’s Doctor Who comics, “as it features the Tenth Doctor as seen in the recent Thirteenth Doctor comic series, so he’s not reached his so-called victory over time yet. But what has been fun to explore is the Doctor getting a glimpse of what’s to come and foreshadowing his own dark turn.”

Billed as “the Doctor getting a glimpse of what’s to come and foreshadowing his own dark turn”, Titan’s Time Lord Victorious tie-in is written by Jody Hauser, with art by Roberta Ingranata and the first of two 48-page issues is on sale from 2nd September 2020 in all good comic shops and via digital platforms.

“BBC Studios’ Doctor Who licensees have come together to tell an amazing epic – one that’s full of monsters, fun and heart,” Doctor Who producer James Gross, who has co-ordinated the whole project, enthused recently. “All strands of the story unite into a mighty patchwork that ranges from one end of the universe to the next. There’s more to be revealed, but the enthusiasm and ideas which the licensees have come up with are breath-taking. It’s going to be such fun.”

Doctor Who Magazine will also deliver its take on the Time Lord Victorious saga in its comic strip in a special three-part comic-strip story beginning with issue number #556, also on sale in September.

A wasteland. A dead world… No, there is a biodome, rising from the ash.

This is Inyit, the Last of the Kotturuh.

In All Flesh is Grass we are transported back to The Dark Times. The Tenth Doctor has sworn to stop the Kotturuh, ending Death and bringing Life to the universe. But his plan is unravelling – instead of bringing Life, nothing has changed and all around him people are dying. Death is everywhere. Now he must confront his former selves – one in league with their greatest nemesis and the other manning a ship of the undead…
