Talk:Prisoners of Time
Fan favorite
There is a bit of an edit war here over the description of Rose as "fan favorite". This phrase should not be removed; it's part of the publisher's summary, which is taken from the story itself. If users continue to remove this phrase, the page might have to be locked. Shambala108 ☎ 12:28, September 24, 2013 (UTC)
Spoilers?
Has issue #11 had its release date changed? Almost everywhere I've looked says it isn't released until Wednesday, yet we have a plot summary and characters listed for it now (even though the page isn't marked with a spoiler warning). I know ran across some comic preview pages on another site yesterday, but even that site listed the release date as 11/13/13. Mewiet ☎ 21:36, November 10, 2013 (UTC)
- ComicList ([here: http://www.comiclist.com/index.php/lists/idw-publishing-extended-forecast-for-10-02-2013]) has the following dates:
- 20 Nov 2013: Issue #11 - TFAW ([here: http://www.tfaw.com/Comics/Profile/Doctor-Who-Prisoners-Of-Time-11-%28of-12%29___435939]) gives 13 Nov
- 27 Nov 2013: Issue #12 - TFAW ([here: http://www.tfaw.com/Comics/Profile/Doctor-Who-Prisoners-Of-Time-12-%28of-12%29___435940]) says 20th Nov
- 04 Dec 2013: TP Volume 3
- 11 Dec 2013: Complete Series HC
I think the TFAW dates are probably correct, as I've seen them mentioned elsewhere... it also means that the 12th issue will be released the Wednesday before the 50th Anniversary special ("The Day of the Doctor").

Print run quantities
Does anyone know how many issues are being released in the first print run of each issue?
I know that there are three basic variants of cover for all issues:
- Regular cover (generally just the issue's Doctor)
- Alternative cover (generally the issue's Doctor with one/two companions)
- Photo cover
I also know that the Alternative cover is 1 in 10 of the first print run, and the Photo cover is 1 in 25 of the first run, so out of every 100, there are 86 Regular covers, 10 Alternative covers and 4 photo covers.... but without knowing what the print run is for the first print, I don't know how many copies of the Alternative and Photo covers there are.
The other variant covers are:
| Issue | Variant | Number in run |
|---|---|---|
| Issue 1 | DF (Dynamic Forces Comics) Cover | 500 |
| Issue 4 | Ottowa Comic Convention Cover | 500 |
| Issue 5 | Denver Comic Convention Cover | 1,200 |
| Issue 10 | Blank variant | 500 |
| Issue 10 | Jetpack Comics Variant | 750 |
| Issue 10 | Larry's Comics Variant | 750 |
| Issue 10 | Sketch Variant | 250 |
| Issue 11 | Blank variant | 500 |
| Issue 11 | Jetpack Comics Variant | 750 |
| Issue 11 | Larry's Comics Variant | 750 |
| Issue 11 | Sketch Variant | 250 |
| Issue 12 | Blank variant | 500 |
| Issue 12 | Jetpack Comics Variant | 750 |
| Issue 12 | Larry's Comics Variant | 750 |
| Issue 12 | Sketch Variant | 250 |

- What about the Dave Sim covers? They seem impossible to find. 68.146.70.124talk to me 20:31, November 18, 2013 (UTC)
Lady Christina?
Where are getting that Lady Christina appears among the companions? I just gave #11 a close going over and I didn't see any character resembling her. Closest I could see is the one who is obviously Sara Kingdom. The presence of Jenny (a major continuity burp as the Doctor is supposed to think her dead) shows that one-offs are allowed, but none of them look like Christina. 68.146.70.124talk to me 20:31, November 18, 2013 (UTC)
