Empire of the Wolf was the story published in the Doctor Who: Empire of the Wolf miniseries in 2021, starring the Eighth and Eleventh Doctors.
Despite being promoted as a celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Eighth Doctor's debut, the story arguably contains more elements from "modern" Doctor Who media, most notably the return of Rose Tyler, at a time which postdates the events of Journey's End in her personal timeline. As such, it offered yet another account of Rose's life with the so-called Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor which bore a closer resemblance to, but was still fundamentally different from that which was established in The Turning of the Tide.
Another central aspect to the story was the return of the alternate version of Rose, introduced in Alternating Current.

Pete's World
- There are Zeppelins flying around above John and Rose's house.
- Rose tells Mia not to go to the cyber implant kiosk.
- Archberry is a type of fruit that only exists on Pete's World. Rose describes it as like strawberry and peach, "but better". It's a favourite ice cream flavour for both her and her daughter.
Miscellaneous
- Empress Rose has visions of her other self's life.
- One of her visions is of Mia celebrating her birthday.
- The Eighth Doctor briefly lands in London during the Blitz.
- The Eighth Doctor refers to the Sontarans as "angry short potatoes".
- The Eleventh Doctor plans to take a holiday.
- The Eleventh Doctor wears a fez.
Notes
- The Eighth Doctor's appearance is a hybrid of his two televised outfits; His hair is generally shorter and his clothing resembles what he wore in The Night of the Doctor, but he more "formally" dressed, with cravat tied inside his shirt collar rather than directly on his neck, increasing the resemblance to his TV movie attire.
- The Eighth Doctor's TARDIS control room is never fully illustrated, with only the console being visible while a generic starfield surrounds occupants of the room. In contrast, the Eleventh Doctor's TARDIS control room receives a full depiction.
- A tapestry of Empress Rose Tyler resembles the Bayeux Tapestry.
- In issue 4, the Blitz is misspelled as "Blizt".
- In one panel (pictured at the top of the page), a previous illustration of the Tenth Doctor seems to have been recoloured to "match" Eight, despite the hair, face, and costume not resembling Eight.
- Empress Rose Tyler uses a communicator from Star Trek.
Continuity
- The Eleventh Doctor has recently lost Amy Pond and Rory Williams. (TV: The Angels Take Manhattan) The Eighth Doctor correctly senses this, remarking he knows the Doctor's dismissive tone in every regeneration. (COMIC: Four Doctors)
- The Eleventh Doctor tells the TARDIS she made him get involved in the Empress' war on purpose, recalling how she had a habit of taking him where he needed to go, rather than where he wanted to go. (TV: The Doctor's Wife)
- The Eleventh Doctor wears a fez during the adventure. (TV: The Big Bang, The Day of the Doctor)
- The Eleventh Doctor remembers how Amy Pond used to wait for him to come to her home, which he promised her as a child. (TV: The Eleventh Hour, The God Complex, The Angels Take Manhattan)
- The Eleventh Doctor uses his sonic screwdriver to lock the TARDIS controls. The Tenth Doctor once did likewise when the Saxon Master tried to use it. (TV: Utopia)
- The Eleventh Doctor quips that Rose is now scarier than Jackie Tyler, her mother, recalling the conflicts his ninth (TV: Aliens of London) and tenth incarnations had with her. (TV: Army of Ghosts)
- Rose is living on a parallel Earth with the Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor. (TV: Journey's End)
- The Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor remarks how "a lifetime of Time Lord knowledge crammed into a piddly human brain" when frustrated at his difficulties in calculating how to help Rose. (TV: Journey's End)
- The Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor wears glasses when trying to be clever. (TV: Time Crash)
- Rose and the Doctor have a daughter together called Mia. Rose was previously shown to be pregnant in PROSE: The Turning of the Tide.

- Rose recalls learning to run with the Ninth Doctor, (TV: Rose) looking into the heart of the TARDIS, becoming the "Bad Wolf", (TV: The Parting of the Ways) almost falling into the Void (TV: Doomsday) and facing the Daleks on Earth. (TV: The Stolen Earth)
- Rose is cautious about travelling with the Eighth Doctor, aware of the paradoxical risk of giving too much information about their future together to the Doctor's past self. This is a similar situation the Eighth Doctor's own companion, Charlette Pollard, faced when she ended up travelling with the Sixth Doctor. (AUDIO: The Condemned, et al.)
- Empress Rose recalls her life as a freedom fighter on Earth in her native timeline before heading off to fight on other worlds. (COMIC: Alternating Current)

- When Empress Rose remarks about her regret for her conquests, the Eleventh Doctor reassures her that he has yet to meet a Rose Tyler who ever gave up. (TV: The Parting of the Ways, The Stolen Earth)
- When the Eighth Doctor is struck by Empress Rose and notes her strength, the Eleventh Doctor remarks she gets it from her mother, Jackie, who also once hit the Ninth Doctor. (TV: Aliens of London)
- D'Pau remarks the Sontarans are a race seeking "glorious battle". (TV: The Sontaran Stratagem, War of the Sontarans)
- The Eighth Doctor visits London during the Blitz, as he did in his first incarnation (AUDIO: The Alchemists) and would do so again in his ninth, (TV: The Empty Child, The Doctor Dances) and eleventh. (COMIC: The Doctor and the Nurse)
- The Eleventh Doctor says to himself "the universe can't already be ending again, can it?" (TV: The Pandorica Opens, The Big Bang)

- The Eleventh Doctor tells Empress Rose that "she" has seen him regenerate before. (TV: The Parting of the Ways, The Stolen Earth, Journey's End)
- The Eighth Doctor tells Rose that the younger version of a person doesn't retain memories formed during a paradoxical event. (TV: The Day of the Doctor, The Doctor Falls)
- Empress Rose Tyler uses a communicator in the same style as the 23rd century communicators of the Federation universe. (COMIC: Assimilation²)
- The Eleventh and Eighth Doctors devise a plan, finishing one another's sentences as they share their thought processes. Incarnations and clones of the Doctor have previously and went on to do this. (TV: Journey's End, The Almost People, The Day of the Doctor)
- The Eleventh Doctor has Rose and Empress Rose hold hands to create a paradox through the Blinovitch Limitation Effect. (TV: The Big Bang, PROSE: Touched by an Angel)
- As Rose says goodbye to the Eleventh Doctor, she implores him to not travel alone, remarking he needs someone with him. Donna Noble (TV: The Runaway Bride) and Amy Pond also said this to the Doctor. (TV: A Town Called Mercy)
