Titan's 2017 Crossover: The Lost Dimension

[Allyn Gibson]

Titan Comics has announced their 2017 Doctor Who crossover, The Lost Dimension. From CBR:

The event will begin a new era for Titan’s Doctor Who comics, and will find the Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth Doctor playing their part to battle The Void! The Void has always existed: ‘No place. The silent realm. The lost dimension.’ But the Void is no longer empty. The Void is hungry, and devouring our universe — through time and space. Now, the four Doctors must join forces to save…everything!

This crossover will be slightly different than Four Doctors and Supremacy of the Cybermen in that it's not a mini-series per se. There's an Alpha issue and an Omega issue bookending the series, and in between the story will be told in either Doctor-specific specials or in the ongoing series for, say, the tenth and eleventh Doctors.

The Alpha issue in August is by Nick Abadzis, George Mann, and Cavan Scott, with art by Rachael Stott and Rob Fernandes.

I wonder if the Void is the same Void from Series 2 and, later, "The Next Doctor."

I hope this one is better than Supremacy of the Cybermen was.

Yeah, Supremacy was pretty bad.

Good in that it might cut down on the delays. Bad in that it's not likely to cleanly line up with the trades.

Who would have specials, though? All of the Doctors mentioned currently have ongoing series... (Unless #15 is going to be the last issue for Nine?)

Who would have specials, though? All of the Doctors mentioned currently have ongoing series...

Here's the order:

August
Part 1: The Lost Dimension Alpha
Part 2: Ninth Doctor Special

September
Part 3: Tenth #3.9
Part 4: Eleventh #3.10
Part 5: Special #1
Part 6: Twelve #3.9

October
Part 7: Special #2
Part 8: The Lost Dimension Omega

(Unless #15 is going to be the last issue for Nine?)

That wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. The sales numbers on Titan's Doctor Who comics have collapsed from the heights they were at circa Four Doctors, and I think part of that is due to Titan publishing too much Doctor Who product. Four ongoing series a month may be too much for the market to bear.

I haven't kept up, but are the Ninth Doctor comics worth the read? I stopped purely because of fatigue - too much audio and TV, ironically.
