It’s going to be a good while yet before whenever, wherever, or even however Doctor Who returns to our screens—and whenever it does, it will be with a new face at the TARDIS’ controls (whether it’s Billie Piper’s or otherwise). But if you’re already missing the days of the 15th Doctor and Belinda Chandra running around time and space, then good news: they’re back!
Bad news: they’re in prison.
io9 has your first look inside the pages of Doctor Who‘s latest comic series from Titan, The Prison Paradox. Written by Dan Watters and with art by Sami Kivelä, the new four-issue miniseries is set during the events of this year’s season of the show, as the Doctor and Belinda unfortunately find themselves trapped aboard Panoptopolis: an orbital space station prison facility monitored by the Shadow Proclamation in a forgotten part of the universe and host to all sorts of very unsavory creatures.
Infiltrating the facility, the dynamic duo will find themselves having to work with a ragtag team of nefarious beings to make it out alive, including familiar aliens like Annie, a parasitic Adipose like the ones seen in the season four classic “Partners in Crime,†and a piratical Slitheen named Felik, a fun throwback to mark 20 years since the skinsuit-wearing aliens farted their way through an attempt to plummet Earth into nuclear war when they debuted during Doctor Who‘s 2005 return. But also fun new friends, like a giant tentacled monster and H-8, the living weapon who adores all violence!
Take a look at the first lettered previews looking inside The Prison Paradox below, making their debut here on io9—as well as a few of the covers from the new miniseries.
