IN PRINT EPISODE 54
























































Actually, apart from the fact he has both arms 9 is a pretty good fit for Grandfather Paradox. And he did lose a hand in the next regeneration...

Seriously though I'm glad we're doing this arc just now and not after the 50th Anniversary episode (has it got a name yet? I'm getting a bit fed up of calling it the 50th. I'd love for it to be called 'The Three Doctors) as I suspect that the Hurt Doctor may end up being the one that destroys Gallifrey and I'd have to rewrite a whole arc because I had lost a throw away observation.

You'll also have noticed that we still haven't revealed the name of this arc. Tell you what; we'll reveal it in a couple of strips. How does that sound? After all it's not as if we've given you any clues. Honest.

In the meantime if you care to hazard a guess then the comments section is all yours.

So did everyone enjoy the glimpse into the past of the 'Fatal Death' Doctor last week? How would you all feel about seeing more like that? I hope everyone answered "yes" to both those questions or you are not going to enjoy the next few Infinites strips. I know I'm looking forward to them.

IN PRINT EPISODE 53




















































That's not a mistake, we really aren't telling you the name of this mini arc until we get to the end of it. We're pulling the same trick that Marvel did with "The Death of Gwen Stacey" and giving you the title at the end of this prologue.

Prologue? Yup, this is a prologue. In fact it's a prologue to our Special for this year and to give you it's name now would simply be too much of a give away.

I stand by my observations in this strip, for reasons I'll go into once we've done our big reveal.

In other news I owe Terry Pratchett an apology. You guys remember how I referred to Jon Pertwee's Doctor as a "Master of Deja Fu"? I was quite proud of that. So you can imagine my horror whilst at the Ad Lib interview with Terry Pratchett this week (courtesy of my cousin, Graeme) when they had a discussion about phrases that Sir Terry had come up with and Deja Fu came up. 

Yeah.

Turns out it comes from "Thief of Time" a book I've read and enjoyed. So obviously the joke lodged itself in my head and came loose when I was writing the "Duelling Time Lords" strips.

Bugger.

So, moving on...
