Torchwood Magazine is a British magazine devoted to the series of the same name from Titan Publishing Group.
The first issue was released on 24 January 2008. A United States version was due to be launched in February 2008, but there's no indication this occurred; instead, the UK version was imported to North America for a time (much like Doctor Who Magazine) although it hasn't been widely circulated in North America since early 2009.
Although not connected to Doctor Who Magazine, Torchwood Magazine follows a similar format, featuring behind-the-scenes articles, episode reviews, and original fiction in the form of comic strip stories and short stories.
One comic strip arc, Rift War, was later compiled by Titan into a graphic novel and a series of six comics reprinting material from the magazine were due to be released from August 2010.
Initially a four-weekly periodical, it moved to an eight-weekly basis from Issue 14.
The Torchwood The Official Magazine identity was also used for the Torchwood The Official Magazine Yearbook (2008) and a promotional leaflet for the magazine was included in the series 2 DVD boxset release.
The magazine was cancelled in early 2011 after 25 issues. According to the editorial note in Issue 24, a realignment of Torchwood merchandising in relation to the BBC/Starz co-production of Series 4 was behind the discontinuation, though it was stated that it was hoped the magazine would resume publication; as of September 2011 it has not, with DWM taking on the task of covering Series 4 production and broadcast. The cancellation also resulted in the American Torchwood comic book, also published by Titan, being cancelled.
