Titan Comics will launch a two-issue Doctor Who comic series on Wednesday 5th July 2023, as part of the multi-platform story, Doom’s Day. The comic series, written by Eisner-nominated Jody Houser (Stranger Things, Star Wars, Spider-Man) with art by Roberta Ingranata (Witchblade), will feature fan-favourite character Missy on the trail of new character Doom, who makes her comic book debut.

Doom’s Day is a standalone transmedia series across multiple platforms and will allow Doctor Who fans to follow Doom, the Universe’s greatest assassin, as she travels through all of time and space in pursuit of the Doctor to save her from her ever-approaching Death. She only has 24 hours and a vortex manipulator to save herself before her fate is sealed forever.

The comic debuts with two covers for fans to collect, one from celebrated artist Pasquale Qualano, and a photo cover variant.

We reported Titan Comics involvement in BBC Studios’ multi-platform Doctor Who story, Doom’s Day to celebrate Doctor Who’s 60th anniversary last month.

Every hour a new adventure, every hour closer to death…

Jake Devine, Editor, Titan’s Doctor Who Comics, says: “I’m so excited to be working with Jody and Roberta once more, and I can’t think of a better team to introduce this dazzling new character to the world of Doctor Who comic books. Throw Missy into the fold and you’ve got one sensational adventure!”
