Doctor Who Comic Reading Order (by Titan Comics)

Doctor Who Comic Reading Order

Launched in 1963, the iconic sci-fi television series Doctor Who evolved to become a multi-media franchise controlled by the BBC. The program depicts the adventures of the Doctor, a Time Lord — meaning an extraterrestrial being who appears to be human. The Doctor traveled through time and space in his spaceship, the Tardis, a blue British police box, which is much bigger on the inside. Those adventures are shared with a companion, often a human character, which acts as a friend or an assistant, as someone who reminds the doctor of his moral duty and helps the Doctor to combat foes and help people in need.

Today, we are going to explore the Doctor Who comic published by Titan Comics, who obtained the license in 2014 and released plenty of stories since then, mostly about modern incarnations of the Doctor, but also with some classic Doctors and a few crossovers!

Whereas you are new to the Whovian universe, a regular viewer, or an expert, Titans Comics has worked to make it accessible for everyone.

Doctor Who Reading Order:

Each collection is self-contained and focused on one Doctor. You can choose to follow one, two or all of them, it’s your choice! Each collection is also arranged like a TV season, named Years, each one of them serving as a possible entry point in the series.

Doctor Who Comic Reading Order, a Possible Chronological Order

Again, you can read each series separately from the other series, but for those who like to try to give an order to the Doctor’s adventures, here we go:
