Planet of the Rain Gods was a three-page comic strip adaptation of the unused opening sequence of TV: The Doctor's Wife.

Summary

The Doctor, Amy and Rory are being marched by aliens intent on sacrificing them to the rain gods. The Doctor does not have a plan to get them out it, until the Hypercube materializes before him, scaring the aliens away and giving the Doctor and his friends clear passage back to the TARDIS.

Story notes

  • This story serves as an alternate opening to the episode The Doctor's Wife, replacing the scene on the TARDIS where the Doctor receives a Hypercube. In this version, the Hypercube appears in the middle of another adventure instead of knocking on the door of the TARDIS.
  • This is the first time since the Frank Bellamy Radio Times promotional comic strips of the 1970s that a Doctor Who episode has been the subject of a comic strip adaptation, albeit in this case of a sequence cut from the episode.
