Hot Damn.
Considering IDW has the Trek comic licence as well, there might be a truely fandom-dividing crossover in the future ...

A "scrip editor" is a real thing, but unfortunately, its meaning was lost in the Last Great Time War. :(

Doctor Who back in comics? Great news!
Doctor Who back in comics at IDW? There goes my enthusiasm. :(
Seriously, I'm sure they do movie and TV properties very well, it's just that I regard them as the flagbearers and originators of the $4 comic and have previously vowed to not buy any of their titles as a consequence. How I handle this one being a huge Who fan, well, that's gonna be tough. :(

Haven't $4 comics been around for a while now? As in, since the early 1990s and the second speculators boom/bust?

I'm definitely putting this on my pull list.

It's ridiculous to pay $4 for a comic which is the same size as a $3... and they fill out the last 6 or so pages with adverys for their other comics. Originally Posted by Joe Grendel

I agree to an extent. The paper quality is better than most publishers and the licensed books are actually complementary to the characters so I can excuse them to a degree. Originally Posted by Crimson
