    Do we know if there are actually 2 Covers?

    Is it a standard cover & the other cover exclusive to Amazon or what?

    I like them both to be honest, but I personally prefer the one which isn’t from Amazon, just because I’m getting sick and tired of him changing his costume…

      I wish they’d just stick with the same one! The Series 5 version (in red, not blue) or the green coat, please.

    • Mr Evil Fez

      November 9th, 2012 - 9:06pm

      I want to see more of the green coat!

    • McGann is the Doctor

      November 12th, 2012 - 10:12am

      The green coat was badass, but the outfit for Series 5 wasn’t as good as the new version for Series 6.

      The tweed for Series 5 I found very boring, and the bowties weren’t great. With Series 6 the shirt collar is different so it makes the bowtie more perped up and smart looking, plus the trousers are way cooler and the tweed has a unique pattern πŸ™‚

      The Doctor looks so wierd on the Amazon cover, I don’t like it when he gets a new look, except for a Christmas Charol and Lets Kill Hitler his new look was cool.

      his hair doesnt even look real on the right one.

      November 9th, 2012 - 5:33pm

      I like the nomal one because the amazon doctors hair does not suit him.

    • Mr Evil Fez

      I like the amazon one because it has a better logo and I like the Doctor’s new clothes.

      Has it not occurred to you that his hair looks different because he is very cold? The book is set in the South Pole.

    Really like the look of this! Can’t wait to buy it! Although I prefer this version. Don’t like the Amazon version – the Doctor’s hair looks like it’s too short and painted on, and you can clearly see the outline where he was put over the backdrop! And I don’t like the entirely blue logo. But, a new Who book is worth any problems with the cover…

      Whoops, I got the comment in the name and the name in the comment part.

      But you get my point, the Myrka is lame. When I read Warriors of the Deep I imagined the Myrka like that big reptile-eel thing that was in a more recent episode of Primeval, it was way better. πŸ™‚

      Yeah it’s from the christmas episode, and his hair looks SO wierd, he looks way less cool.

      Literally and figuratively, because it isn’t as cool as this look and it would keep him warmer than the tweed ! ❗

    • Mr Evil Fez

      November 8th, 2012 - 7:28am

      Maybe he wears it in the Christmas episode because it’s set in the Victorian era? And it looks freezing cold if you look at his hair!

    • Chris

      November 8th, 2012 - 10:55am

      He is going to wear it in a victorian xmas special

    Amazon have a different cover for this which is probably the real one as it shows the new logo and the Doctor in his new outfit. πŸ™‚
