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

Previous Strip  Next Strip

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.

Previous Watcher

And that brings us to the end of the 'Who Watches the Watcher', and in true classic style we're ending it on a cliff hanger. We'll be coming back to it towards the end of the year, but first we'll be kicking off the Infinites are that will take us through the 50th. You'll be glad to know that the bulk of the strips for the that are written already. Quite how I managed to get them done and miss the concluding chapter of this arc I'll never know, but Nesshead knocked it out of the park in about half the time I usually give him.

So why is the Watcher picking up these four rather than the Infinites I hear you ask?

Well there's been so much speculation about the Hurt Doctor being a future version that the Watcher has picked up on it sub conscientiously. The language used at the end of 'The Name of the Doctor makes me think that he is a past version, but that's by no means been proven yet. Although this observation from Bleeding Cool seems to back up my thinking.

The Valeyard of course has been a future incarnation ever since 1987 and his appearance here would suggest he has something lurking up his sleeve. Perhaps he's not quite as stable as he's been making out...

The ginger fellow is the Ginger Doctor from 'The Last Regeneration' as designed by Lee Sullivan back in 1998. I interviewed Lee a while back about this Doctor and couldn't resist asking to use him in the strip. Lee Sullivan is a bit of a legend in the Doctor Who art world and has been involved in more than a few areas of the Whovian universe. This recent feature on Kasterborous will catch you up if you don't already know Lee's work.

The last potential Doctor is of course the Warner Doctor from the Unbound arc. Why's he here? He's certainly been popular enough, but he's very much a 3rd Doctor. Maybe he's here to foreshadow his increased presence in the strip, maybe it's hinting at an unexpected twist. The truth? Well the last Doctor was meant to be the person that just got cast as the 12th Doctor, but as it turns out Nesshead doesn't know who has been cast. He's actually managed to stay spoiler free, which in this day in age is pretty incredible. I don't know how long he'll manage to go, but I'll be damned if I'm the one that spoils it for him. Maybe we'll update this strip when he finds out.

Right, if I haven't made this clear already I'll make it clear now; if you haven't listened to Full Fathom Five then you're going to want to listen to it soon. Apart from being a fantastic listen it'll also help you to get the jokes we're using for the Collings Doctor. Of course you'll want to listen to Sympathy for the Devil, He Jests at Scars, Exile, Deadline and Auld Mortality as well, but you won't need to listen to get the jokes. They're just good listens and if you use the above links you'll be supporting In Print as well.

Talking of supporting; out friend Mike (whose work has appeared on here before) has just opened his own store on Redbubble. It's worth checking out as it some very cool designs just up.

Next week sees the 50th In Print strip and we've done a celebratory one off strip for it. I'd quite like to see it as a Tshirt in our own store, I'd love to hear what you guys think when you see it next week.

That's about it for me for just now. Just a quick reminder that we're on Twitter and that we're having a poll about your favourite Unbound Doctor on our Facebook page. There's been a problem with voting the last few hours, but hopefully Facebook will have that fixed soon.

So, who guessed that those shadows belonged to the Unbound Doctors fro Big Finish? Give yourselves  a pat on the back. For those of you that don't know them 'Doctor Who Unbound' was a series of 'What if' tales from Big Finish starring new actors in the role of the Doctor. Starting with Geoffrey Bayldon, who just got shunted down a trap door, played a version of the 1st Doctor that never left Gallifey for example. Other actors (and on actress) that appeared in the range included David Warner, David Collings (who had previously been Mawdryn), Derek Jacobi, Arabella Weir (see a female Doctor isn't a new idea) and Michael Jayston reprising his role as the Valeyard.

Hold on; The Valeyard? Wonder if that has something to do with these guys being in his room...

Speaking of the Valeyard and Big Finish, I was very excited to hear about the upcoming release of 'The Trial of the Valeyard' which'll follow on from 'Trial of a Time Lord', at least I was until I discovered it was a subscription only deal until Christmas 2014. So unless Big Finish would like to review it and send me an advance copy I guess I'm waiting till then.

A big thank you goes out to Paul Hanley whose take on the Warner and Collings Doctor was the basis for our versions of them. Thanks, Paul!

Right I'm off, we're still on Facebook and Twitter the rest of the week.
