Doctor Who comics: new Panel to Panel, annual out now

By John Freeman on November 9, 2018

Episode #105 of the Doctor Who: Panel to Panel podcast from Jeremy Bement is live, and the Doctor Who: The Official Annual 2019 is out now.

Jodie Whitaker’s Thirteenth Doctor has made her debut in Doctor Who Magazine with “The Warmonger” as well as her own series from Titan Comics. Both stories so far get a review, as well as the First Doctor story “Food for Thought” from Big Finish’s Nick Briggs.

Plus, check out the latest Doctor Who comics news and listen to some chat about the new series.

This is, regularly, a great Doctor Who comics-focused podcast in my opinion – check it here on iTunes or here on Podomatic.

The Doctor Who The Official Annual 2019 is on sale now authored by Paul Lang, published by BBC Books. Available in all bookshops, it includes a strip drawn by John Ross featuring all 13 Doctors and companions!

“Find the Doctor. Save the universe. A Doctor Who Annual with a difference,” the official promotional material reads. “This year, you’ll be taken on an incredible journey – the Thirteenth Doctor is missing, and it’s up to you to find her! Take on fiendish puzzles, quizzes and games as you meet some old Doctor Who faces along the way.

“Completed your mission? Then you’ll be granted incredible insight into the Thirteenth Doctor and her first journey in time and space. There will be an all-new TARDIS to explore, alien tech to examine (with a brand-new sonic screwdriver!) and monsters to defeat. A must-have adventure for all Doctor Who fans, old and new.”
