    i live in kettering and i went town to get my copy on thurs 22 fri 23 and sat 24 and i have been everywhere and cannot find a copy anyway!
    so it would seem that this issue can be presumed lost in the vortex…
    and i am now wondering if issue 543 will appear in the shops in sept or if this will be lost in the vastness of the vortex

    Hmm… 3rd cover in a row that hasn’t the current Dr on it?

      They publish several covers a year without the current doctor on them. This is nothing new. Without a new series there isn’t much to report about and so there is little reason to include her on the front cover. Also she was on the cover of issue 540.

    I do prefair those 80’s Cybermen more than the Ironman look.
    At least the face is retro like the 2nd Doctor era Cybermen

    Can anyone let me know if the article on Billie Piper’s Dimention Canon is worth picking this mag up. Cheers
