BBC Worldwide North America and Titan Comics are thrilled to
reveal details of this year’s summer special Doctor Who comics crossover event.
No less than FOUR incarnations of the Doctor will be joining forces to face up
to one of his most iconic foes – the Cybermen! The Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth
Doctors from Titan’s four ongoing Doctor Who series will feature
in this spectacular five-part, bi-weekly adventure, launching in
July.
2016 marks the 50th anniversary of the show’s iconic
cyborgs, the Cybermen. The Cybermen first appeared in the serial ‘The
Tenth Planet’ in 1966, and have been featured in Doctor Who numerous
times since, including the 2006 two-part modern origin story, ‘Rise Of The
Cybermen’ and ‘The Age Of Steel.’
This special crossover event comic entitled ‘Supremacy Of
The Cybermen’ stars the Ninth Doctor (Christopher Eccleston), Tenth
Doctor (David Tennant), Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith), and Twelfth Doctor (Peter
Capaldi), and their comic companions – Gabby, Cindy, Alice, Rose (Billie
Piper) and Captain Jack (John Barrowman)!
Supremacy Of The Cybermen
Exiled from Gallifrey at the very end of time,
Rassilon, fallen leader of the Time Lords, has been captured by the last
of the Cybermen. Now, the Cybermen have access to time travel. With
it, every defeat becomes a victory. Every foe is now dead - or Cyberized.
The series is penned by best-selling authors George
Mann (Eighth Doctor, Dark Souls) & Cavan Scott (Ninth
Doctor, Vikings) with art by Alessandro Vitti (Secret Warriors, Captain
America & Hawkeye).
This highly anticipated event comic kicks-off in stores and
on digital platforms Wednesday, July 6th 2016, supported by Titan’s third
annual Doctor Who Comics Day event on Saturday, July
9th 2016.
The debut issue comes with five variant covers to collect:
an art cover by series artist Alessandro Vitti, a photo cover by Will
Brooks, a cool Cybermen variant by Fabio Listrani, a blank sketch variant, and
a fun coloring variant – perfect to color in at home or in stores on Doctor
Who Comics Day.
This year’s global Doctor Who Comics Day event on
Saturday, July 9th, is set to be even bigger than previous years with new
comics and collections, merchandise, variant covers, signings, and events
across the globe at comic shops, bookstores, retail chains, libraries, and on
digital platforms. New to this year’s event, Doctor Who comics fans
can register for an event kit to hold their own reading
group parties. Doctor Who comics fans, retailers, and
