Revision as of 20:20, 2 September 2017
Rename?
Perhaps this page should be renamed Alpha (comic story). The Lost Dimension is a very different event to what Titan's previously done. If you look at the material at the back of the issue this comic came in you might see what I mean. (Not to give it support, but the current "plot summary" section for this page will also give you an indication) I believe it would be a bit of a mess to cover all of this event on one page. And so I figured I needed to be proactive about it before this event got into high-gear. We were allowed to acknowledge that The Pilot (TV story) wasn't a standalone story when it was first released, so I don't see what would make this any different.
Last year, when we had stories with titles like
Prologue: The Eighth Doctor
which had different artists than Supremacy of the Cybermen (comic story), we gave them separate pages. This year there is no SOTC 1, SOTC 2, SOTC 3, etc. Supremacy of the Cybermen had the same writers, artists, ane colourist for each issue. But The Lost Dimension... it's a whole new format not too dissimilar to those SOTC prologues (well, issues of this will hopefully be longer than those prologues). In an interview about this issue, Alpha, George Mann and Cavan Scott have made it clear that they are not writing every issue in the event. Here's the interview, I warn you that there are spoilers about the production of future stories in this event. CoT ? 16:33, September 2, 2017 (UTC)
- I think there's a good argument either way. On one hand, the cover of the comics clearly give each issue a unique-ish name (Alpha, Ninth Doctor Special, Special #1, Omega etc.) On the other hand, the inside cover says "Part One of Eight," leading to a good argument that this is one story and should have one single page.
- There is another complication as well: Special #1 (and #2?) will have three separate stories, featuring the 4th Doctor, River, and Jenny. So I propose a compromise: Keep this page and make it like the Prisoners of Time page. Prisoners of Time is very similar in structure to The Lost Dimension, as it has issues with multiple Doctor and issues with only one Doctor all in a linked story that's too big for one page.
- So here's my full idea:
- 1) Keep this page and convert it to be like the chart on Prisoners of Time without narrative info.
- 2) Have a separate page for each issue with the narrative info, so like Unnatural Selection (comic story) we would have Alpha (comic story).
