THE INFINITES - Strip 31

First Previous Next Latest

Now wouldn't that be a very cool team to have on Legacy? At this point in the time the only ones of them actually available is the War Doctor and K9, although we've been promised Ace in the reasonably near future.

Perhaps we should start the campaign for Frobisher here and now. What's the worst that could happen?

For those of you who have been wondering, and indeed those who haven't as well, I've included the team I've been playing with.

I keep feeling the urge to make up an 'In Print' team, but you can only have one Doctor and K9 is the only character available that's really been in the strip.

Unless you count the Adipose. You may have noticed that Jim likes throwing them in every chance he gets. But that still leaves us a good bit off getting a solid 'In Print' team put together.

Anyway, time I was moving. Next week sees the return of Jim with 'The Fall of the Eleventh". It'll see two new cast members joining us.

I wonder if either of them appear in Legacy...?

THE INFINITES - Strip 30

Ah, guest starts. And what guest stars, huh?

Ace, Leela and Daak. If any of the Doctor's companions fought in the Time War it would be these three. Not that Daak was a companion, but there's no way he'd ignore a chance to kill that many Daleks.

Ace is done up in her New Adventures clothes. Chances are some of you missed that she was Ace due to the lack of leather, but NA Ace is much more likely to have taken part in the Time War, especially with her experience fighting Daleks.

Leela's new look is based on 'The Time War Leela' by Paul Hanley, with permission from Paul. You have to imagine that she would bring a savage edge to proceedings that the Time Lords simply couldn't.

Anyone else think they'd love a series with these three, Frobisher, K9 and the War Doctor in the Time War?

Speaking of which, is 'Engines of War' not out soon?

Jim here writing the blog this week. Alasdair's had a slight accident and is resting so he's asked me to step in.
More Time War madness this week but not as we know it! Another cross over this week brought to you by Alasdair and Ness Head on art duties. One can only wonder where it goes from here.
Again Ness has captured the Enterprise crew from the two different time zones perfectly.
I'm particularly pleased with Ness Head's art this week due to the fact that I'm in it! I've been assimilated! Those who know me personally will tell straight away but for those that don't I'm the right hand male Borg in the middle. I didn't know I was appearing until it was sent to me last week. Believe me, I was surprised to say the least.

Other new this week is I'm working on a strip for the UNIT Fannual - a follow up to the popular Peter Cushing based Dr. Who Fannual that came out earlier this year. A prospect I'm really excited about as this'll be the first full Doctor Who based comic strip I've done solely for a printed publication. Good times.

A quick reminder that I've created a Facebook group for In Print. I would urge you all to join it, especially if you've not been getting all of our updates. We've found that although we have about 5,000 of you liking us on Facebook that each update tends to reach less than 200 of you. Being part of the group means that you should see each and every update. We've also been showing off pre-strip sketches and alternate designs for some characters. Come and join us over there!

Right, that's me signing off for this week, hopefully Alasdair will be back to entertain you next week all being well. See ya!

IN PRINT EXTRA... 7

Spoilers.

Maybe, perhaps, could be.

Probably not though.

There is a strip here, it's just underneath this text to give you guys a chance to decide if you want to risk being spoiled. In my opinion we've presented nothing but fan speculation and as such the strip is a perfectly safe read. But it wouldn't be the first time we've managed to hit the nail on the head completely by accident as a community.

Let's just say that it involves the casting of the Anniversary episode. Someone not unfamiliar to being cast in genre media. Someone who may, or may not, be dressed in some familiar clothes and a very familiar coat.

Anyway, the strip is just underneath. Make your mind up and I'll talk to you again in a moment...

And there you have it; possibly the first bit of fan art of John Hurt as the new 9th Doctor. Or 8 and a half Doctor. Or something like that.

I personally think that Jim has knocked this one out of the park. In fact I have the initial sketch he did for this strip and if I ever get my own office then it'll be getting hung up there. It'd be a hell of a shame if John Hurt wasn't the Doctor now.

Maybe we'll find out tonight if he is. Who knows? Apart from the handful of Americans who recieved an advance copy of the DVD, I've kept out of their way though. I'll find out once my kids have gone to bed, much like I did for 'Nightmare in Silver'. Which was fun, wasn't it? I certainly enjoyed it. The last time Neil Gaiman wrote for the Doctor we got the wonderful 'The Doctor's Wife' which spawned this Extra for us and later introduced the character of Mrs T into or strip. 2nd Fade is currently working on our second Gaiman themed strip and I look forward to showing it off.

In the mean time I plan to go back to bed and try ignoring the rest of the world until I can commandeer the living room telly for myself.

How hard could that possibly be?

We can be disturbed through Facebook and Twitter as always.
