While the days of Ncuti Gatwa and Varada Sethu as Doctor Who leads may have fallen into an unexpected end after this season of the show, their characters, the 15th Doctor and Belinda Chandra, will star in the new Titan comic series, the Prison Paradox, which will arrive this November. The fourth series, written by Dan Watters as Art by Sami Kibera, sees Doctors, Belinda and several new allies permeate “inevitable prison facilities in forgotten parts of the universe.”
Doctor Who: Prison Paradox #1 Cover A, Jay Annacleto
Experience doctors adventure like others, so that doctors, Belinda and their allies don’t penetrate the prisons holding monsters and villains from across the universe. With new friends, old enemies, and old enemies that may become new friends, it is an adventure that will take you across the West…and go beyond that!
Editor Jonathan Wilkins describes editor Jonathan Wilkins as the prison paradox as Titan’s “still ambitious (comic).” Artist – Extra Ruder Sami Kibele brings Dan’s epic story to life.
The comic’s announcement comes amidst the uncertainty of the show’s future, with Disney clearly going to co-produce and distribute the franchise internationally following this year’s live-action spinoff, The War for the Land and the Sea. This means that despite the 2025 finale ending with a cliffhanger, the BBC has not yet commissioned another season. Anyway, Doctor Who is one of the BBC’s crown gems, and even if the main series gets caught up in the holding pattern, the broadcaster is looking for the pitch of the animated kindergarten spinoff set to premiere in 2027.
With Gatois’ departure, the comic marks something in the foreseeable future doctor’s final harray. The BBC and its licensees (including Titan) have also announced Circuit Breaker, a multimedia project starring Joe Martin’s escaped doctor next year. Watters previously wrote Titan’s first 15th Doctor Comic in 2024 (featuring art by Kelsey Ramsay and co-starring Millie Gibson’s Ruby Sunday), while Kibera (Abbott, the Machine Gun Wizard) is the first contributor to the crocodile who had not worked with the Wata tribe before.
The first issue of the series will be released on November 5th (just before the show’s 62nd anniversary) in various covers. You can check this below. Kivelä itself provides a variant cover that connects all four issues, but the Jay Anacleto main cover is also available as a Virgin Foil variant, with the flop being released in colour and black and white. In the meantime, I will head to the official Doctor Who website to serve as a complete breakdown of the new characters.
