Marvel's Death's Head and Dragon's Claws take place in the same century, the year 8162; both comics present Earth as environmentally wrecked, overrun with crime, and generally a mess. While these titles have had several crossovers with Doctor Who Magazine, it's not stated in these crossovers that Earth is in this state.
