The release date for the sensational Doctor Who: Once Upon a Time Lord from Titan Comics, scripted by Eisner Award-Winning Spider-Man writer Dan Slott, making his Doctor Who debut, is now 31st October 2023 – but it will be well worth the wait.
Titan have requested reviews of this special anniversary Doctor Who comic be posted closer to the release, but I don’t think it’s giving anything away to say the two upcoming stories included are an absolute delight, featuring art by Christopher Jones, Matthew Dow Smith and Mike Collins.
In the opening story, diving deep into sixty years of Doctor Who, in order to survive the fiery Pyromeths, Martha Jones must spin three sensational yarns about the Tenth Doctor and his greatest adventures with old and new foes alike.
An epic story that sees companion Martha Jones captured by the insatiable Pyromeths, and her only hope for survival is to keep them distracted with sensational untold tales of the Tenth Doctor facing off against his greatest foes – both classic and new!
Witness the incredible adventures of the Tenth Doctor like never-before! You’ll be on the edge of your TARDIS – just like the Pyromeths! – as Martha recounts three unbelievable tales of The Doctor facing off against his deadliest foes.
It’s no hyperbole from Titan when they say Dan Slott’s Doctor Who comics debut reveals his love for the franchise, featuring cameos from multiple Doctors and their enemies, including the Daleks and Cybermen. Plus, special bonus story starring the Ninth Doctor and Rose is a bonus treat.
