Titan Comics Announces 'Doctor Who' Comic Book Crossover Event

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Titan Comics has revealed that this summer will see the release of a new comic book storyline where the Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth Doctors from the long-running BBC science fiction series Doctor Who will meet for the first time.

Written by longtime Whovian Paul Cornell, the five-part storyline will release in place of the regular Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor, Doctor Who: The Eleventh Doctor and Doctor Who: The Twelfth Doctor comic series, and will run weekly from mid-August through the end of September.

Further storyline detail - and even the identity of the artist for the event - haven't been divulged, but with Cornell on board, fans certainly have something to look forward to; as in addition to having written for the show since its 2005 revival (Both the first season’s “Father’s Day” and the “Human Nature”/“Family of Blood” two-parter in season three were his work), Cornell has a history with the franchise in both prose and comic book spin-offs, including the Hugo Award-nominated The Girl Who Loved Doctor Who. His most recent comic work was on Marvel Entertainment’s Wolverine series, setting up last year’s “Death of Wolverine” event.

The Tenth and Eleventh Doctors, as played by David Tennant and Matt Smith respectively, have previously met in 2013's 50th Anniversary Special episode of the television series, but neither has encountered Peter Capaldi's incarnation of the character before now. According to Titan, the companions in the crossover event will be drawn from the current comic book series for each Doctor, meaning comic book originals Gabriella Gonzalez and Alice Obiefune in addition to the Twelfth Doctor's current traveling partner Clara Oswald.

Look forward to the launch of this special crossover event on August 12, 2015, ahead of this year’s Doctor Who Comics Day on August 15, 2015.
