Dr Who Adventures Magazine Re-launches
Immediate Media Co re-launches Doctor Who Adventures magazine
To coincide with the new episodes of Doctor Who hitting TV screens on Easter Saturday, Immediate Media Co is re-launching Doctor Who Adventures magazine and its website with a new logo, fresh design and brand-new features on Thursday 28 March 2013.
Ranked number 1 in the primary boys market, the weekly title gives young Doctor Who fans a chance to tap into the world of their favourite Time Lord, his best friends and his greatest enemies!
The new-look Doctor Who Adventures features a hilarious new comic called ‘Alien Babies’, cool monster makes, a collectable Whoniverse guide, behind the scenes secrets and loads more! Plus, the Doctor Who Adventures website will now carry extra videos, downloads and even more content.
To celebrate, the magazine is inviting kids to their ‘Monster Day Out’ event – the world’s first ever kids only Doctor Who event at the Doctor Who Experience in Cardiff on Wednesday 3 April. A day packed with monster fun, visitors can meet the show’s widely popular Sontaran, Strax, and find out how he feels about being called a potato head during a special Q&A session.*
Editor of Doctor Who Adventures, Natalie Barnes said, “We’re really excited to be re-launching Doctor Who Adventures magazine with a dynamic new look and fantastic new content. This is a brilliant year for the show, and it’s great to be a part of it. Our Monster Day Out is the perfect way for us to give something back to our readers – and for them to come face-to-face with one of the Doctor’s most fearsome (and shortest) allies, Commander Strax!”
Doctor Who Adventures magazine is priced at £2.99 and is available now at all major retailers and independents around the UK.
Doctor Who Adventures is a weekly magazine for young boys and girls who love Doctor Who. It has a circulation of 31, 935 according to the last Audit Bureau of Circulation (ABC) figures.

March 29th, 2013 - 1:57pmHmmm, change is (mostly) always nice, but I’ll have to wait for my copy to arrive before I make my final judgement. 😛
First impressions of the cover though, it looks… a little more ‘juvinile’ than previous incarnations.

I think it’s the fonts that give that impression, rather than the ‘new comic’ picture. (Actually, I’ll looking forward to seeing the new comics).

March 29th, 2013 - 1:54pmI don’t know why people are criticizing the magazine so much. What’s the big mistake?
booboo
March 29th, 2013 - 3:19pmI usually find those who criticize it are outside the age range its aimed at

March 29th, 2013 - 6:27pmI thinks is more that the fact that while it is good and certainly now fits the age range, it sort of alienates those of us who are outside the age range. I don’t think its bad at all, its just not as good for people outside the age range hence the cretinism as the old look.
booboo
March 29th, 2013 - 6:30pmIf it would good for the people outside the age range it would probably be not good for those inside its age range

March 30th, 2013 - 4:19amI think they had a pretty good balance previously between producing a magazine that is essentially for young children, but still appealing to older children and adult collector’s too.
But, this magazine *is* designed for younger children, so if the new design better suits that age group, they should stick with it if they find it works.

March 29th, 2013 - 1:52pmI bought the new magazine on Thursday and think it has changed for the better, although they need to update the site immediately – it’s horrendous!
blank
March 28th, 2013 - 10:40pmStill no change, seriously 🙁
The Doctor
March 29th, 2013 - 1:52pmThere is… I’m guessing you haven’t read it then!

March 29th, 2013 - 7:34pmSorry, but I was talking about the website.

March 28th, 2013 - 2:06pmwhen will the website relaunch as just checked and it looks the same.
The Doctor
March 29th, 2013 - 1:53pmWell it won’t update this Easter weekend as all the site crew are probably on their holidays!
That Snowman over there
March 28th, 2013 - 1:52pmNot so fond of the new look. It’s a bit too colourful and bold for my liking. Doesn’t suit the show.
However, the contents of the magazine has improved quite a bit. I can understand this is aimed at younger readers but some of their previous features (mostly from last year) felt like they were trying to hard to appeal to kids. And a lot of that seems to have gone now (apart from ‘Alien Babies’). But the rest isn’t bad.
The magazine may not LOOK good but the quality has definitely improved from before.
More like this in the future, please!

DOCTOR WHO ONE
March 28th, 2013 - 10:16am‘Immediate Media Co is re-launching Doctor Who Adventures magazine and its website with a new logo’.
Not really a new logo, it’s just the word ‘Adventures’ has been changed.
Still looks the same as usual.
The Doctor
March 29th, 2013 - 1:53pmI don’t like the new logo but I love all the other changes!
