'''''Planet of the Rain Gods''''' was a three-page comic strip adaptation of the unused opening sequence of the television story ''[[The Doctor's Wife (TV story)|The Doctor's Wife]]''. It was later adapted as the mini-episode ''[[Rain Gods (home video)|Rain Gods]]''.

The Doctor, Amy and Rory are being marched by aliens intent on sacrificing them to the rain gods. The Doctor does not have a plan to get them out of it, until the [[Hypercube]] materialises before him, scaring the aliens away and giving the Doctor and his friends clear passage back to the TARDIS.

* [[Eleventh Doctor]]

* This story serves as an alternate opening to the episode ''[[The Doctor's Wife]]'', replacing the scene on the TARDIS where the Doctor receives a [[Hypercube]]. In this version, the Hypercube appears in the middle of another adventure instead of knocking on the door of the TARDIS.

* As a deleted scene, this story is not considered a [[T:VS|valid source]] by this wiki, unlike the eventual DVD mini-episode based on it, ''[[Rain Gods (home video)|Rain Gods]]''.
