mtemplar_ficThere's been some amazing stuff coming out of Gally this weekend - prolly the best stuffs have been from Louise Page, costume designer for DW (and her absolutely GORGEOUS design book - !), but there's also some great comic news from IDW!
First off, the next issue of DW Ongoing (#9) comes out in March. Here's the covers and a sample page (really liking cover B!):
Cover A:
Cover B:
Sample page:
Ten will be the featured Doctor in IDW's DW Ongoing series until December 2010, with issues 13 - 16 containing the last arc for Ten, entitled 'Final Sacrifice'. DW Ongoing will end at that point, and be relaunched with Eleven. Whether or not he'll have an ongoing series or a series of one-shots has not been determined at this time.
But... the really big news out of IDW's panel is that they plan to do an annual, similar to the UK annuals, to be released later this year. Per CBR:
IDW will also be making a bit of Whovian history in 2010 with the release of the first ever 'Doctor Who" Annual, released in the United States.
"The ongoing is the first ongoing 'Doctor Who' series and this will be our first annual," explained Tipton. "The U.K. annuals are always reprints, oversized stuff, where this will be something new and different that hasn't been done before."
Four writers – including Lee, Jonathan L. Davis, and writer/artists Davison and Smith – will join forces on the ad-free, 48-page special.
Davis, a Hollywood screenwriter, contributed the main feature, a 22-page story drawn by Kelly Yates, who also served as cover artist on the project.
"The annual is a Tardis-centric issue," said Tipton, speaking of the Doctor's time and space traveling machine that just so happens to look like a British phone booth. "It's not really a Doctor Who book. It's more of a Tardis book. So we've got some pretty cool ideas there."
And here's the cover (not sure what's up with the panda)....
Nice! :D
