December 5th, 2025 - 9:09amSlightly baffled as to why they advertised the McKinstry art cover as a ‘subscriber’ cover, picked up my copy in Easons yesterday and as expected it also has the McKinstry textless cover when you remove the Salt polybag. Delighted with the TWB A4 art cards though, much prefer them to the folded up posters.

December 5th, 2025 - 2:38pmThought it odd they had no 14th, War or Fugitive Doctors on the Doctor montage cover.

December 4th, 2025 - 5:49pmThis time last December I bought the Dr Who magazine with Nguti Gatwa wearing a dressing gown on the cover……
This time NEXT year…..who knows……perhaps a cover picture of Billie Piper wearing, I dunno, a Barbour coat….?
And waving a fantastic looking new sonic screwdriver……?

December 4th, 2025 - 5:24pmLast issue I bought was ‘Ncuti Gatwa is the Doctor’ in December 2023. Think I’ll be getting this one as it’s oh so rare to see a spin-off being the cover of an issue. Genuinely excited for it.
Difficult to find at all here in Ireland which has furthered me from picking it up in general.
Which 9th Doctor audio is it btw?

December 4th, 2025 - 5:34pmInterestingly, the subscriber cover is completely unrelated. Not just text less, as usual.

December 4th, 2025 - 5:46pmStill can’t say this interests me. The new trailer didn’t do anything to sell it to me.

December 5th, 2025 - 12:08amHi Monitor. The Subscriber cover is an Art piece done by Peter McKinstry , who has a 5 page spread about his Art design for the 2005-2025 series. Inventing , desigining, stuff for the team to make .
I would rather have had that to die for Cutaway Giant Robot. On the inner page (4 i think) on the cover or a poster LARGE poster , as I would frame it.
The Art Of Peter McKinstry is out now (big ole coffee table book of conceptual art some got made some designs were a bit too much and didnt)
