Final Sacrifice was the concluding story of the arc begun in Doctor Who (2009) #1. It was the last story of that publication and ended the Tenth Doctor's continuous run in IDW Publishing's comics. It also wrote out the IDW-only companions, Matthew Finnegan and Emily Winter, and served as a semi-sequel to an early one-shot story, The Time Machination.
Publisher's summary
Solicitation summary for part one: On a war-ravaged alien world, the Doctor and Emily fight to save Matthew from the Advocate, while avoiding a planetwide civil war and a space-and-time misplaced Edwardian Torchwood, still hunting the Doctor since The Time Machination ! Everything leads to this point—but who will die?
Solicitation summary for part two: Long live the Queen! As the war between the Soul Free and the Terror builds, the Doctor discovers who's really pulling the strings behind the scenes! And as 'Mr. Finch' faces off against Emily, Alexander Hugh and the Edwardian Torchwood agents choose their own sides in the coming war...
Solicitation summary for part three: War! What is it good for?! The Doctor discovers the truth about Kol'Ne Wah and finds Matthew, while Emily and Hugh try to stop the world from rebooting! But what is the Advocate's terrible plan-and why are the fifth-dimensional Tef'Aree involved?
Solicitation summary for part four: Tragic loss... Final issue! Final appearance of the Tenth Doctor! Sad farewells. A song ends. People die.
What, you thought we'd end on a high note? It's called 'Final Sacrifice,' guys! Multiple Eagle Award-nominated writer Tony Lee and Matthew Dow Smith close the book on the tenth Doctor...
