Doctor Who Liberation Of The Daleks Paperback
Available to order from www.forbiddenplanet.com, www.amazon.co.uk and www.waterstones.com
Picking up from where the previous Doctor Who TV series left off, Liberation of the Daleks is the 14th Doctor’s first official adventure. A new regeneration, but a familiar face, this exclusive comic strip collection, sees the return of the Doctor’s deadliest enemies – the Daleks! Taken from the pages of Doctor Who Magazine, this 13-part tale bridges the gap between recent episodes, tying directly into the new TV series continuity.

December 3rd, 2023 - 6:40pmAmerican reporting in again: There was someone on Amazon purportedly selling this for the last week or so, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were UK exports or some sort of scam, but now that’s all gone and the site’s listing I guess is defaulting to the official stateside publication we’re getting.. which won’t be ready until March.
That’s certainly a bummer.

November 23rd, 2023 - 10:21pmJust out of interest, was this write up from a press release? As I’ve just got the graphic, which I preordered, and it’s got no behind the scenes stuff in it at all! Just an introduction by Alan Barnes.

November 24th, 2023 - 8:13amfrom the original Amazon listing which they must have changed at some point

October 15th, 2023 - 10:48amLooks like the release date for this has changed from 1 Nov to 23rd, so likely to arrive after the specials. Disappointing, was looking forward to reading these in advance of them.
anon
October 15th, 2023 - 3:33pmI will be reading this first, then watch the Specials after; on DVD release.

October 12th, 2023 - 9:19amNeed to change the blurb: its not a 13 part tale as it continues into the next issue, and maybe beyond.
Bill Silver
October 11th, 2023 - 1:52pmThey’ve changed the cover. For the better I think.
anon
October 11th, 2023 - 10:25amInteresting, they have changed the cover?
booboo
October 11th, 2023 - 10:27amyes they have, they often do with these.
anon
October 11th, 2023 - 1:54pmNice, as I prefer this new one!

July 12th, 2023 - 9:09amNo all they seem to do is to mess about with Doctor Who listings these days

July 12th, 2023 - 8:03amI hope this comic is ignored in the 60th, meeting the Daleks is a big tv event, not something for a random comic to deal with. Same thing with his post regeneration thoughts and feelings. We need it on screen, unless this is a way to cut out all of that baggage so we can get straight into the action in the 60th. I suppose it makes sense, they don’t want David Tennants return to be bogged down by regeneration based confusion and sickness, it just feels a bit cheap to deal with major plot bits completely off screen. Feels like Star Wars

July 12th, 2023 - 11:53amFrom what RTD has hinted at in DWM this comic is set prior to the specials and the specials are set some amount of time later once 14 has settled into the regeneration.

October 11th, 2023 - 5:56pmI have no idea whether the Daleks might make a small cameo in the 60th, but I get the impression that’s exactly why this comic story exists: so that Fourteen can get a Dalek story. From RTD’s comments at the start of the comic, Liberation takes up the first hour of Fourteen’s life, and then it’s more or less directly into the TV specials. Although there didn’t seem to be much/any regenerative confusion in the comic, he’s just straight into action.

July 11th, 2023 - 9:09pmi thought this would happen but £15 for 100 pages is a bit high
James
October 11th, 2023 - 12:13pmNot if you buy the magazine it isn’t. Be £100+ if you could only access via the magazine

July 11th, 2023 - 6:41pmI believe this isn’t the same size as the graphic novels we’ve come to know. It’s the smaller format, perfect bound magazines that WHSmith sell.
Anon
July 11th, 2023 - 6:45pmLike the original 9th doctor collection then. Probably means they’ll release it again in a different format with one extra story and get even more money out of us…

July 11th, 2023 - 7:29pmSmaller than that Anon.
Anon
July 11th, 2023 - 8:00pmThe 9th doctor comics were released first as a bookazine style publication before getting the graphic novel release. Is this going to be a bookazine sized book?

Number of pages: 100
Dimensions: 297 x 210 mm
According to the Waterstones website
Same size as the The Regular Graphics. It’s bigger certainly than The Daleks collection ( TV 21)
would make sense to be the same size as the regular Graphics for Collectors but then some are mm taller or wider than others so non are Regular.
Anon
July 11th, 2023 - 8:25pmCheers Bryan. Not to bothered about the size really, just pleased it’s actually being released.
James
July 11th, 2023 - 3:57pmWill this make sense for people who don’t read the magazine or buy the book? Or will it be like the mini pudsey cutaway episode between parting of the ways and Christmas invasion? Where if you didn’t see it and the 2 stories still linked up.
AlbertoFrog
July 11th, 2023 - 5:44pmI get the impression that the 60th anniversary specials will start with the Doctor either in the TARDIS or having just arrived somewhere (i.e. he won’t be stood on Durdle Door). For those who only watch the TV eps it will be “shortly after” we last saw him, but those who read the comics will know he’s been up to stuff in the meantime. So both will work.
anon
July 11th, 2023 - 2:59pmDoes anyone have a larger image of the cover yet?
Bookcollector
July 11th, 2023 - 3:41pmClick on the links above
anon
July 11th, 2023 - 6:14pmTried those links already they only have a small picture
Anon
July 11th, 2023 - 6:43pmClicking on the small image enlarges it
anon
July 12th, 2023 - 5:15amNo it doesn’t: I want a larger picture to download & these images aren’t it
daz
July 13th, 2023 - 4:07pmAnon. The Amazon link does have a bigger picture if you click on it.
But if you are talking pixels that will give you a full decent quality image you can print I guess you’ll have to wait til it is out and maybe buy it?
anon
July 16th, 2023 - 7:37pmI’ve got it on my ‘To Buy’ list but was hoping for a larger picture so that I could see the details better. I’ll just have to wait until I can Pre-Order it.

July 11th, 2023 - 12:43pmDo we know if this will feature the remaining 13th Doctor comic, 9th Doctor TLV story and Peter Cushing Doctor comic that have yet to be collected?
Anon
July 11th, 2023 - 1:06pmDoubt it as it states it’s 100 pages.
Bookcollector
July 11th, 2023 - 1:08pmCover only had Alan barnes listed as author so I think it only features the liberation story. At 100 pages there isn’t room for any other stories.
daz
July 11th, 2023 - 12:11pmI’m looking forward to reading it in full just before the 60th Specials start.
A nice prequel bonus as The Star Beast will no doubt start straight after it when the 14th Doctor lands in Camden.

July 11th, 2023 - 9:24amRoblox death sound. I bought 7 of the issues but went off it with that rose cover the colours just made it stick out so was hoping they would do this spent about £60 at this point
