Now in its third year, Doctor Who Comics Day is set to be bigger and better than ever with the launch of a new crossover event comic, Supremacy of the Cybermen, that includes a number of special variant covers.
Doctor Who Comics Day is inspired by Titan Comics’ Doctor Who comic books and will feature events, signings, contests, and fun activities on Saturday, July 9th, 2016 around the world!
SUPREMACY OF THE CYBERMEN
The spectacular five-part, bi-weekly adventure stars the Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth Doctors, and is penned by best-selling comic authors George Mann and Cavan Scott, with art by Alessandro Vitti and Ivan Rodriguez.
Also featured in the series are beloved companions, including Rose (played by Billie Piper in television) and Captain Jack (John Barrowman). Leading up to the release of Supremacy of the Cybermen, Titan will be releasing nine exclusive one-page teasers - featuring Doctors from up and down the timeline - in each of Titan's four ongoing Doctor Who stories.
VARIANT COVERS
Titan will release multiple variant covers to collect, including Supremacy of the Cybermen variants by Alessandro Vitti, photo variant by Will Brooks, a cool Cyberman cover by Fabio Listrani, a blank sketch variant, a fun coloring variant, and exclusive retailer variants at Forbidden Planet and Books-A-Million.
There will be special variant covers across Titan’s comics line throughout July, including Fourth Doctor #4 variant by Andrew Pepoy and Jason Millet, Ninth Doctor #3 variant by Dan Boultwood, Tenth Doctor Year Two #12 variant by Blair Shedd, Eleventh Doctor Year Two #11 variant by Rod Reis, and Twelfth Doctor Year Two #7 variant by Todd Nauck & Hi-Fi.
