IN PRINT - INFINITIES 1





  Previous Strip  Next Strip

So we've rebranded a bit. We've merged the main strip with The Infinites to become, well, you've read the strip before the blog. In Print; Infinities. Going forward Ness will be handling the main art duties for the ongoing strip, but the Jim fans can relax as our Jim still intends to make strips, keep his hand in and will be handling the reactions strips with the 7th and 8th Doctor which this whole project was built on. 

I'm in the process of writing a few strips for the 13th Doctor era that we're hoping to get out there before the new era of Who kicks off properly. Jim has had a few ideas for Arachnids in the UK and I'm desperate to do something with The Power of the Doctor. The Guardians of the Edge could have been written for In Print I reckon and can't wait to unleash 7 and 8 on them. 

Ness has a good number of scripts already finished and it's got me buzzing to kick start the narrative element again. The Timeless Child has opened up several potential ideas for the strip. 

So, yeah, it's good to be back is what I'm trying to say. Very good.

THE RE-INTRODUCTION TO THE 'IN PRINT'-VERSE



We're back and it's about...

No. Stop it. That's been done to death at this point.

We've rather neglected you guys over the last few years and had a number of false re-starts. Hopefully this one sticks.

I'm acutely aware that we've been especially quiet over the 13th Doctor era. This absolutely isn't a judgement on Jodie Whittaker's take on our favourite Time Lord, it's not even a judgement on Chibnall's era. Honest.

I certainly have opinions on how Chibnall ran things, but we've always tried to be positive on here so...

But there are a few things he brought to the table that I think will have a lasting impact and legacy on Who. I know I'm not in the majority, but I loved the idea of The Timeless Child. The idea of the Doctor being crucial in the founding of Time Lord society has distinct echoes of the Other and of course I love that.

The Fugitive Doctor was a breath of fresh air and I really enjoyed the reintroduction of a bit of mystery to the Doctor's past. Expect to see her on here in the near future.

And he finally gave us closure on just who the Morbius Doctors were. That was nice of him.

He also gave us Arachnids in the UK. So you know, swings and roundabouts.

IN PRINT - It's about time!








































                                                      Previous In Print 

Doctor Who's back, and about time!

No doubt you're all excited as we are to see the latest incarnation of our favourite Timelord as she starts out on her journey to save the universe!

 And to show you how excited we are, this week our In Print artists have drawn their own version of number 13 - Left to right - 2ndFade, Micheal David Key (Mikes Star Art) and NessHead.

You can grab a Tee-shirt with NessHead's design on over at TEEPUBLIC here.

We'll be back next week...

And we're done. I should really write more strips. Next week's is sorted though. Looking forward to seeing how it looks. I smell T-shirt potential quite frankly.

Jim was interviewed last week. If you want to see how that turned out there should be a link round about here.

Expect the next set of strips to be influenced by the new series. Time to get back to our roots.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is a running joke.

I'm afraid I've slowed down on updating the navigation links the last week. I'll hopefully get back into it next week.

See you all then.

Because we needed one more cast member.

As much as I enjoyed Bradley's Doctor I couldn't quite buy him as Hartnell's Doctor. So he's getting a space in this strip.

As Jim might have mentioned I turned 40 last Saturday. I'm still recovering. Was a good weekend though.

And a month from now we're getting new Doctor Who in about a month. Finally. There's a script I wrote when she was first announced that I might get Jim to revisit. Especially as I've been relistening to Exile this week. 

If you're in the Glasgow area tomorrow you should come and join me at Lok's to see Peter Cushing deal with a Dalek Invasion. It'd be nice to see you.

A very quick post today as I'm knee deep in family business.

As you can see 7 and 8 have caught up with the rest of the country in regards to viewing. 

I quite enjoyed Bradley's Doctor and the morphing at the start made it clear this was OUR first Doctor. Jury is still out on Richard Hurndell.

I'm approaching the half way mark in updating the navigation links. Geez we've done a lot...

And now we're referencing 'Cold Fusion'. The book at any rate. I've only listened to half the audio as I had to send my phone for repair with my review copy and by the time Carphone Warehouse admitted they'd lost it the window for downloading and listening to the review copy was gone.

Every so often they contact me to ask why I haven't gone back to them. Cold Fusion, that's why. Well that and generally crappy service.

But I digress.

We didn't get round to fixing the links this week, so possible disruption this week. What I did manage to do was go through the entire site (there's a lot of it these days) and got a list of all the broken links. I'm also planning to simplify the navigation.

See you all next week.

And that's the end of this arc. Not bad considering we kicked it off in March last year.

Though to be fair it was a longer arc than we've been used to, but still.

I managed to start re-doing the navigation links in the earlier strips and managed to avoid disrupting the front page at all. Hopefully that's a trend I can keep going over the next week or so.

A brand new main strip arc starts next week and you'll see that we're starting to catch up with the main timeline. Personally I can't wait to see how Jim and Nesshead handle the 13th Doctor.

Time will tell. It usually does.

November since we last checked in on this arc huh? Jim's right, it has been a while.

But we're getting back on track. I've got some strips to send to Nesshead and Jim's got plenty to work on just now.

I'm going to be spending the next week updating our navigation links as well as our Reading Order and Archive. So there may be the odd occasion where the front page is actually an old strip. Please bear with us whilst we  mess this up, it'll be better for it in the end!

THE INFINITES - Strip 57




















































                                                             Previous Strip

That's right! There was a previous arc! And a couple of Nick Briggs.

Actually in all seriousness Nick Briggs has played the Doctor a few times. One of the stage play audios, Exile, The AVs and I don't think that's the end of the list.

Actually there might be a few strips in that... Hmmmm.

In other news Nesshead is currently at SDCC. If you come across him buy him a drink.

And that's it from me for this week.

Ness Says: Hope everyone enjoyed the last few strips. More to come in the future. Al has some new scripts for me. Until next time my Whovians.

THE INFINITES - Strip 56













                                           Previous Strip

As I've mentioned before I've been digging around Merlin's history for Loose Canon. The biggest surprise so far is that in Merlin's appearance in The Neutron Knights (a 4th Doctor comic) he doesn't say anything that rules him out of being the Doctor. Quite the opposite in fact. Also the 4th Doctor's memory was quite fuzzy afterwards, almost as if he'd just met a future version of himself.

I've also uncovered evidence that the Muldwych Doctor isn't just an older version of the Battlefield Doctor, but I'm keeping that under my hat until Loose Canon comes out. Got to keep some surprises.

THE INFINITES - Strip 55




















































                                       Previous Infinites Next Strip
Hello loyal In Print readers. NESSHEAD here. This is a historic moment. My first blog. :) I hope you are all enjoying the new strips. Seems like yesterday that I drew the first strip as a guest artist. Drawing for In Print has lead to other Doctor Who assignments. Two annuals and a magazine so far. 

Always a pleasure to draw these non cannon Doctors for you. If you are a member of our Facebook group, please leave some comments about the strip. Would love to here your input. Take care and thank you for reading THE INFINITES.

Al says: So I've given some early 10 dialogue to the Fatal Death Doctor, I'm comfortable with that.

I'm enjoying the hell out of seeing the Merlin Doctor interacting with the Infinites. There should really be more of that, but there's really not a lot of Merlin stuff out there from a Doctor Who perspective. Google will just tell you that a bunch of fans really, really want Colin Morgan to play the Doctor.

THE INFINITES - Strip 53






































                                     Previous Infinites   Next Infinites

Aha! An Infinites.

I've got some fun ideas coming up for these guys that I need to get sent over to Nesshead.

Jim and Nesshead will be taking over the blog for the next few weeks as Baby Shaw is landing this week. (Note to self: talk to Jim and Nesshead).

Loose Cannons needs work as well, though I suspect that Lance Parkin may have written a version of it. I really need to order a copy...

THE INFINITES - Strip 54


















































                     Previous Infinites   Next Infinites

And we're back. The last time we saw these guys they were breaking into the studios at Big Finish. Which begs the question; has anyone seen the Nth Doctor recently?

Some of you may recognise the Infinite's guest as the Merlin Doctor from Battlefield. I've been doing quite a bit of research on him of late for 'Loose Canon' and the next few strips are proof positive of that.

In other news a group that I'm quite involved with, The Glasgow Doctor Who Society, are mentioned in their previous regeneration as the Strathclyde Doctor Who Society in this month's DWM. Before my time,but still a nice surprise.

Right I need to get moving. See you all next week.

12s Last Words...































                                                       Previous In Print



So we haven't put out a strip in a while for one reason or another... With me, (Jim) moving house over the Christmas period, and Alasdair just getting back into writing again. I'm sure we'll be back with more fun and adventures with our favourite Timelord(s) very soon. In the meantime...

Aha!!! A new character! Who is she? Well you can probably work it out if you’ve read the books, but if you don’t then all you need is a little patience and the answer will be revealed soon enough. In other news they’ve revealed the new Doctor’s outfit and I’m a little concerned. They need to get this right and this, in my opinion, is their first misstep. If this Doctor fails, for any reason, then people will always assume it was because she was a woman. Hopefully they’ll adapt it as they go. And I’ve just had an idea for a strip...

Can you believe this is actually Part 14 of this arc so far? I haven't titled or numbered each individual strip at the top of the page like I usually do.. It would make it easier just in we decide to collect up the strips in a book one day. Anyway this week we catch up on Eight and Rivers date night!
Before I go here's a reminder to join our group page on Facebook.

I don't think Benny's too happy to hear she has a replacement (River) just like as previous versions of the Doctor gets referred to.. and often by himself.
We've got a new WHO's Cat strip from Micheal David Key aka Mikes Star Art in a couple of weeks time which I think we would all love to see a longer run again, hint hint ;-)
as always don't forget to join our group page on Facebook to get all our latest updates and feel free to post anything of interest in return - we love seeing all the amazing fan art, cosplay or any creative projects out there.
