Final Sacrifice (comic story)
Final Sacrifice was the concluding story of the arc begun in Doctor Who (2009) #1. It was the last story of that publication, and ended the Tenth Doctor's continuous run in IDW Publishing's comics. It also wrote out the IDW-only companions, Matthew Finnegan and Emily Winter, and served as a semi-sequel to an early one-shot story, The Time Machination.
