Learn what happens after the credits of The Power of the Doctor, as the story of the Fourteenth Doctor, played by David Tennant, continues exclusively in Doctor Who Magazine!
Although it will be a year until we see his TV adventures, the story continues in DWM #584, because a new comic-strip adventure, written by Alan Barnes and illustrated by Lee Sullivan, picks up directly where The Power of the Doctor left off.
Editor Marcus Hearn says:
“Russell T Davies, our new showrunner, has long admired the DWM strip. And that’s why he’s granted us the honour of telling the Fourteenth Doctor’s first story in an adventure that dovetails with the most recent episode. For the first time in our 43-year history, the strip is now in lockstep with the television series continuity.”
Russell T Davies says:
“From day one, I wanted to increase ties between the show and the magazine. I love it when we’re in sync! A lot of people will be thinking, David’s not the real Doctor, he’s a trick, an illusion, a flashback. But no. He’s real. And DWM can help us underline that.”
It’s rather shocking and exciting, don’t you think?
