'''''Oblivion''''' was the sixth volume of the [[Panini Publishing]] series of ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' comic collections, and the third to feature the [[Eighth Doctor]]. It was the series' first collection of colour comic stories.


Like all in the series, it was notable for its high quality digital restoration of the comics. It was the first chance readers had of seeing the original version of the comics since they were initially published in ''DWM'' in the late-[[1990s]] and early [[2000s]].
