Opening Tag
Koltroxa has invaded the TARDIS!
Summary
Now having the power of the time vortex and control of the TARDIS, Koltroxa believes the Doctor and Donna will serve her as slaves. But the Doctor dematerialises the TARDIS back at the house in 1908. As before they are met by two ghostly children who take them up to meet 'mother' but this time is different. Koltroxa has not arrived yet and when the future Koltroxa arrives for her children who do not recognise her. The Doctor pleads with Koltroxa to leave because the two together in the same time is causing a paradox that could rip apart the whole of the vortex. The Doctor snatches the necklace from Koltroxa to protect and save Donna and himself when the whole house including her earlier self is destroyed thereby ending the paradox. The Doctor tells Donna not to think to much about how the same house could be destroyed in 1908 and 2108 or it could drive you mad!

Original Print Details
(Instalment, publication with page count and closing captions)
- 4/4 Doctor Who: Battles in Time Issue 56 (4 pages) THE END!
- No reprints to date.
Notes
- Supporting the series of collectable Doctor Who trading cards, the magazine title, carried a regular 4 page comic strip series of the Tenth Doctor’s adventures.
- The limitation of only 4 pages meant that stories often lacked some depth in comparison to other regular comic strips running at the same time.
- Style wise, the artwork and colours were bold and bright reflecting the tone of the magazine and, as with Doctor Who Adventures, it reflected the appeal to younger readers than that catered for by Doctor Who Magazine.
References
- The Battles in Time comic strip often sought to reinforce the Doctor character with that as seen on screen by utilising various ‘props’ used in the TV series. Namely; blue/brown suit, sonic screwdriver, psychic paper and his intelligent glasses.
