Here's How To Experience The 'Doctor Who: Time Lord Victorious' Event
Sep 02, 2020
Hitting comic shops TODAY, Titan Comics' Doctor Who: Time Lord Victorious #1 (JUL201418) kicks off the ambitious BBC multiplatform event, Time Lord Victorious, a multi-Doctor storyline that spans novels, comics, audios, figurines, and more.
In the tenth Doctor's penultimate adventure, "The Waters of Mars," the scientiests of Bowie Base One, humanity's first outpost on the red planet Mars, faced annihilation from an unstoppable water creature. The tenth Doctor, powerless to intervene because this moment was, in his words, "a fixed point in time and space," left the multinational crew to their fate. But, as the Last of the Time Lords, without none of his people remainning to judge him and his actions, the Doctor named himself the "Time Lord Victorious," free to alter time to his own whims, and so he changed the fate of Bowie Base One's scientists and saved them from their pre-ordained deaths.
This autumn the BBC, in conjunction with Big Finish Productions, BBC Books, Titan Comics, Panini, and Hero Collector, explore the ramifications of the tenth Doctor's decision in a multiplatform storytelling event, Time Lord Victorious. Spanning audio dramas, novels, comics, and collectibles, Time Lord Victorious features the tenth Doctor in a battle against death itself at the dawn of time, a battle that draws in old enemies, including the Daleks and the Master, and pits the Doctor against his eighth and ninth incarnations.
This multiplatform story begins with Titan Comics' Doctor Who: Time Lord Victorious a two-part mini-series from Jody Houser and Roberta Ingranata, the creative team behind the recent team-up of the tenth and thirteenth Doctors in Titan's Doctor Who: A Tale of Two Time Lords (JUN201376). In addition to beginning the multiplatform series, Doctor Who: Time Lord Victorious features the first appearance of the Doctor's greatest foes, the Daleks, in the pages of Titan's Doctor Who comics:
A thrilling new adventure for the Tenth Doctor (as played by fan-favorite David Tennant) that 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 Daleks…
The first issue, in stores on September 3rd and still available for reorder, ships with five covers. The story, continuing in October's second and concluding issue (AUG201622), ships with three covers and remains available for reorder.
Though Time Lord Victorious spans comics, novels, audios, and more, fans can be assured they they can follow as many — or as few — of the projects as they wish. Each project is self-contained, and taken together, they build into a larger tapestry.
For Doctor Who fans who wish to continue with Time Lord Victorious beyond Titan Comics' tow-part mini-series (or its collected edition, [SEP201482, $16.99]), BBC Books is publishing two novels by fan-favorite novelists that expand on the concept of a time war at the dawn of time itself and three Doctors' role in that struggle against the Kotturuh, the bringers of death.
The role of the ninth Doctor and Rose Tyler in Time Lord Victorious is expanded upon a three-part comic strip story that begins in the pages of Doctor Who Magazine #556 (SEP201370). This bagged issue features both the first part of the comic story, "Monstrous Beauty," and a guide to the whole Time Lord Victorious project. Look for the second part of "Monstrous Beauty" in Doctor Who Magazine #557 (offered in the October 2020 PREVIEWS) and the third and final part in Doctor Who Magazine #558 (offered in the November 2020 PREVIEWS).
Fans can also look foward to a line of figurines from Hero Collector in the months to come. The Time Lord Victorious figurines will feature new Dalek designs, and each will come packed with a short story that expands ont he Daleks' role in this multiplatform event.
Beginning with Titan Comics' Doctor Who: Time Lord Victorious #1, Doctor Who fans can look forward to an exciting and epic adventure through time and space that pits three Doctors against both their greatest foes and against death itself in a story that spans comics, prose, audio, and more.
