Doctor Who (2020)

Doctor Who Comic (indicia title Doctor Who), published by Titan Publishing Group, was an American comic book series comprised of multiple stories, starring various Doctors and characters.

It launched as a replacement for Titan's Doctor Who: The Thirteenth Doctor series, with the opening story continuing the storyline that began in the latter's truncated second year. Unlike the series that came before it, this series reset its issue numbering with every four-part story arc, effectively making every story its own four issue miniseries.

At an unspecified point, the comic began being published and sold in the United Kingdom. Unlike its American counterpart, the issue numbering was not reset with each successive story arc (i.e. the Missy miniseries was numbered as issues 5 through 8). The cover numbering and GBP price tag appears to be the only thing that differentiates the UK version, with the interiors, right down to the indicia, being identical to the US version.

Notes

  • In 13DY2 4, Alternating Current was originally billed as beginning in issue 5 of the second year of the ongoing Doctor Who: The Thirteenth Doctor comic series. It was delayed from June to November 2020.
  • While the cover reads "Doctor Who Comic", the indicia gives the title of the series as "Doctor Who". It was the first comic series to hold this title since Doctor Who (2011).
    • Between the issues MISSY 1 and MISSY 4, the subtitle of "Missy" was added to the indicia.
    • From the issue EOTW 1, the "Missy" subtitle was replaced with "Empire of the Wolf".
