The Fugitive Doctor and Osgood face the Daleks in the first of two Titan Comics entries for Doctor Who: Circuit Breaker
This summer the Fugitive Doctor takes over the Whoniverse for Circuit Breaker. The multimedia Doctor Who epic will be winding its way through audios, novels, games, and more, starting in June. Also included in the adventures are two new issues from Titan Comics. The first of these is titled Adversary of the Daleks and is out on the 8th of July.
In Circuit Breaker’s overall story arc UNIT scientist Osgood discovers that items from the highly secure Black Archive have gone missing. Worse, these powerful alien artifacts could also tear reality itself apart. But when Osgood summons the Doctor for help, she comes face to face with a stranger. In Adversary of the Daleks, the Doctor and Osgood begin their quest to put things right and immediately run straight into conflict with the Daleks. The Time Lord would appear to be at a disadvantage, against an unfamiliar threat that seems to know her better than she knows herself. But then again, the Fugitive Doctor is more ruthless than any incarnation the Daleks have ever met before…
Adversary of the Daleks is written by Dolce M Montoya and Dan Watters. Watters also wrote the recent Doctor Who series Everyone Must Go! and The Prison Paradox as well as the acclaimed Batman series Dark Patterns. Meanwhile, Watters’ Prison Paradox collaborator Sami Kivelä joins them on art duties.
