Titan Torchwood Comic issue 1
Available to order from www.forbiddenplanet.com
Titan Comics is excited to announce that Doctor Who TV spinoff Torchwood is back, in an all-new ongoing comic series starring the daring Captain Jack Harkness and Gwen Cooper.
Written by Captain Jack himself – John Barrowman – and Carole E. Barrowman, and with issues illustrated by Antonio Fuso (Drive, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest) and Pasquale Qualano (Batman ’66, She Hulk, Harley Quinn), this spectacular original ongoing series is not to be missed.
In continuity with the new hit Torchwood audio dramas from Big Finish, as part of the official continuation of the Torchwood saga, the comic arrives in stores on July 6 – the week of Titan’s third annual Doctor Who Comics Day event – Saturday, July 9 2016.
The BAFTA-winning cult science-fiction drama by Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies, which aired for four successful seasons from 2006 to 2011, follows the exploits of Captain Jack, Gwen (Eve Myles – Broadchurch), and their team as they investigate the unusual, the strange, and the extraterrestrial.
The hotly anticipated Torchwood comic sees Captain Jack return to Cardiff to engage the help of the last person who expected to see him again, Gwen Cooper! A dark technology from a forgotten species has been claimed by a conspiratorial power… and in this collision between an ancient civilization and an all-new evil, the Earth itself may be forfeit!
Only Jack, Gwen, and their allies from what remains of Torchwood hold the key to stopping a cataclysmic wave of destruction… On the road, on the run, and under fire – can Jack and Gwen put aside their differences and rebuild the heart of Torchwood… before its flame is stamped out forever?!
The debut issue comes with variant covers to collect from Doctor Who superstar artists including Tommy Lee Edwards (Tenth Doctor, Turf), Elena Casagrande (Tenth Doctor, The X-Files), Blair Shedd (Ninth Doctor), and Rod Reis (Doctor Who, C.O.W.L.)!
Retailers can order Torchwood #1 from the May edition of PREVIEWS

April 14th, 2016 - 7:39pmI take it these are set between series three and four? Because that doesn’t make sense really, I don’t think they had a meeting inbetween those two series’. I could be wrong, probably am tbh.

April 14th, 2016 - 12:46pmIn barrowmans Facebook videos he seemed very surprised that he was writing it as nobody told him haha

April 17th, 2016 - 8:50amI think it was the announcement he was surprised about rather than the fact he was writing them! 😀

April 13th, 2016 - 10:12pmAs much as I never liked Torchwood, (sorry, it just never clicked with me!) this is a great announcement. Really interesting that it was written by John Barrowman himself! Now we need Peter to conrtribute to 12s comics… 🙂

April 13th, 2016 - 10:06pmIs it just me who thinks Titan should introduce a Universe Magazine and have comics every 4 weeks for:
•Doctor Who (12, 11, 10 (plus the 4, 8 and 9))
•Torchwood
•Sarah Jane Adventures
•Class

April 13th, 2016 - 10:31pmHonestly? How can you say that.
It could be, but you haven’t even gave it a chance. “Not class mate it looks like utter nonsense” it may well be but it could also be a great opportunity.

April 13th, 2016 - 7:28pmMight be our best hope for more Gwen adventures if her actress is serious about retiring from the role for the foreseeable future.

April 15th, 2016 - 11:51amYou don’t like any of the covers shown?? None of these are photographs and I think they look smashing. Collect them all…. I bet you won’t be sorry.
Simeon
April 17th, 2016 - 8:52amSurely top right is a photo montage? Whilst collecting covers can be awesome be wary there are often loads and a ton of exclusives. Can get very expensive!

April 17th, 2016 - 10:53amTop right is definitely a photo montage – I montaged it myself!
Cover ‘B’ for each of the Doctor Who and Torchwood comics is always a photo variant by me 🙂
You can find the artwork for them at Facebook.com/willbrooksfreelance

April 13th, 2016 - 5:29pmI’m legit gonna have no money left soon, Titan is making me poor 🙁

April 13th, 2016 - 5:06pmKnown about this for a little while. They’re running concurrently with the Big Finish audios, very good news for fans.

April 13th, 2016 - 4:46pmI was expecting this, since Titan published the US Torchwood comic pre-Miracle Day. Fingers crossed they do a Sarah Jane Adventures one sometime, too.

April 13th, 2016 - 4:08pmTorchwood is more alive now than ever before

April 13th, 2016 - 4:42pmThat’s just what I was thinking! Maybe it’s because the 22nd of October is 10th anniversary of the show.
