An untitled back-up comic story was printed within Titan's Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor Year Three issue twelve. Created by Rachael Smith, the artist and writer had previously hinted on Twitter her interest in the Rani as a potential comic character. The Rani's appearance in the comic is noteworthy, as most Tenth Doctor fiction beforehand had treated the appearance of another Time Lord as a narrative taboo.

Summary

Plot

to be added

Characters

• Tenth Doctor
• Rose Tyler
• The Rani
• "Plant creatures"

Worldbuilding

• The Rani wears a floral dress.
• She considers the Doctor's new regeneration to be "scrawny little thing."
• The Rani is collecting her favourite Earth plant life. A "marginal error" in her fertilizer causes them to grow giant and move. She creates an antidote to shrink them in the time the Doctor spends coming up with the idea.
• The Rani considers humans to be a "reckless race."
• The Doctor marvels at the Rani having "a hobby" and admires her brain.
• He gives Rose a rose.

Notes

• The Rani's TARDIS creates the traditional "vworp vworp" noise given for materialisation in comics.
• With several references to Mark of the Rani and no direct reference to Time and the Rani, this story presumably take place before the Rani causes the Sixth Doctor's regeneration.

Continuity

• The Rani refers to the last companion she met being able to "speak properly," referring to either Peri Brown or Melanie Bush. (TV: The Mark of the Rani, Time and the Rani)
• The Rani wears her dark blouse and her TARDIS is again a grey box. (TV: The Mark of the Rani)
• The Rani refers to "her planet," presumably meaning Miasimia Goria. (TV: The Mark of the Rani)
