Significant merger

Despite receiving individual titles these stories were never intended to be individuals and were all part of the same narrative as The Many Lives of Doctor Who (comic story). DrWHOCorrieFan 22:14, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

I realise my initial post was vague, I'll elaborate.
The Man Lives of Doctor Who is one single narrative which takes place during the 12th Doctor's regeneration into the 13th. Throughout the story the Doctor looks back into their past and revisits adventures where the central theme was change. These cutaways were all given individual titles; The Path of Skulls, Card Conundrum, etc, but were not individual stories.
It can be determined that this was a single narrative due to;
A) None of the stories finish with "The End" (which to my knowledge Titan Comics always does - or at least some variation - at the end of their stories) nor do they have "To be continued". This is literally one single narrative that plays out over multiple different adventures throughout the Doctors lives and the individual titles is no different than Doctor Who and the Iron Legion having The Iron Legion, Into the Dimension Duct, etc. They are chapter titles not individual story titles.
B) Each chapter has a continuous narration that speaks in the past tense directly to the Thirteenth Doctor.
C) The artists who designed individual chapters are not credited for having provided the art per story, instead they are credited per Doctor, which shows that this release was not thought of as being multiple individual stories.
I do not think that it would take anything away from the site by merging all these stories together. That is how they were clearly supposed to be intended. DrWHOCorrieFan 23:17, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
