Reinforcements Have Arrived!

Doctor Who is back on top with another five-bullet review at The Comics Bulletin! Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy already! Cover A by Paul Grist with colors by Phil Elliott shown above.

Praise the Time Lord and Pass the Ammo!

Hey, gang. Sorry to keep you waiting so long. With the holidays upon us, it's been quite hectic making sure the trains run on time with the massive Transformers launch, not to mention the Movieverse with Simon Furman and Carlos Magno's upcoming Nefarious. And can't forget to mention Doctor Who.

Speaking of which, issue 5 is out (cover above by Matthew Dow Smith and Charlie Kirchoff) and gets a nice review at Comics Bulletin, though we dropped a Bullet. But I'm sure we'll fill the chambers when #6 hits on December 16.

Five More Bullets for the Doctor

Doctor Who #4 has been getting the same raves as #3. Check out Comics Bulletin.

And be sure to let us know what you think at letters@idwpublishing.com.

Loud Praise for Whispering Gallery

Doctor Who: The Whispering Gallery has been on the shelves for a week and has garnered some nice reviews.

Here's one from Broken Frontier.

WonderCon

So I'm back from WonderCon and still catching up, so I don't have time to give a report. But the folks at CBR did a nice job with this article covering our panel. Though they misspelled Robby Musso in the Spotlight Cliffjumper announcement.

Sorry about that, Robby!

(Robot) City of Fear

For some reason the cover of Transformers Best of UK: City of Fear #3 wasn't included in online solicits, and I couldn't bare to see Andrew Griffith's fine work not get more attention.

Return of the Don

I recently hinted at the return of one of the great TF artists on the IDW Forum, and posters were quick and accurate with their guess. The Don's back, baby!

Mr. Figueroa's return will be found in Movie Prequel: Defiance #3, due out in March. In the meantime, Defiance #1 hits stands January 21, brought to you by the creative team of Chris Mowry, Dan Khanna, Andrew Griffith and Josh Perez!

A sneak peek from Defiance #3:
