  1. Bryan Jackson

    Quite sad for 9 and 10 both alone again.

  2. Sean

    Awww, poor guy. After all he’s been through, and he STILL doesn’t win.

  3. DeathlySerenity

    OMG thrid comment weeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

    Now that THAT is out of my system, Gawd, gossip much? XD

    Poor 9&10, they’re the only ones who know what true loneliness is. What is 1 thinking?!

  4. Mosuke

    There are so many wonderful things about this page – Two and Seven talking about the card game with the Celestial Toymaker, Six guiding Peri back to the Tardis, Ace and Rose waving goodbye to each other (those two would definitely cause trouble if they were ever to travel together! Fast friends right there!)

    And awwwww at 10 traveling alone. He’ll be okay. He gets Martha and Donna after this. The Doctor can’t ever be alone. It’s just not done!

    Also, I’m sensing that something may happen on the way to the Eye of Orion. Hmmm, I might just be paranoid.

  5. Athena

    Great page! Interesting dialoge and wow I have the fourth comment! (thats not easy since I live in Australia).
    I like the Rani’s indignant pose when she is talking to ten!
    Once again rich your drwing skills are admirable.

  6. Athena

    Oops it was fourth coment when I posted…

  7. Jess

    I’m just staring at this page, its drawn so well! Every character seems to be perfect.
    Plus I love how you’ve drawn 10 with his hands in his pockets… but why do I get the sensation that this isn’t quite the end? :)

  8. korafrax

    Love the sixth panel. 10 eyeroll is amazing. Also like the girl in the second panel (can’t remember her name for the life of me) having the arm cast after Dr. Hollaway fixed her up.

  9. gazzatrek

    wonderful,joyous & sad all at once.. the happiness and innocence of the ‘classic Doctors vs #9’s sad goodbye to his home & #10 alone again..’brilliant.

  10. Sammy

    *hugs Ten*

  11. Phoenix

    Loving it!

    Poor 10 on his own – But what if the dalek is still there? Just a little bit?

    Potential eek!

  12. itzWicks

    The excellent plotting continues as the current storyline wraps up. I hope we can get one more decent glimpse of Eight before this journey’s end, but otherwise, I couldn’t be more satisfied with The Ten Doctors. Thanks again, Rich! :)

  13. MoreBeans

    Oh no! Not poor old 10 on his own again! That chappie’s having a worse day than the rest of them! You’d better give 10 a really happy ending, Rich :) … Once again another beautiful page. I love it!

  14. WalksInEternity

    ARRRGH! Rich! Please don’t finish just yet! There are still plot threads dangling! Who bypassed the Blinovitch Limitation Effect to allow the Doctor to meet his previous selves? What’s been happening between Bambera & the ‘Cylurians’? Where is the Meddling Monk? Inducing amnesia to avoid temporal paradoxes? Where is Dalek Ahn?
    Fan-TAS-tic art and plot!!!!!!!!!

  15. McGann's the Mann

    The last couple of panels remind me of Journey’s end firstly when Sarah Janes says ‘for someone who acts so lonlye you’ve got the got the biggest family in the world’ or somehting like that and then agin with poor old 10 on his own is like that final scene when wh gets out of the rain

  16. Lily Knotwise

    Oh, this is getting so sad! The comic is coming to a close, and poor 9 and 10… *sniff*

  17. kittystitcher

    I sense that 10 is going to go off on his own, or possibly be kidnapped or something…in any case, I suspect we may just find out what’s been going on now! Should be interesting!

  18. EricInWisconsin

    I agree with kittystitcher. Ten is alone, so it’s time for something to happen.

    Page after page of awesomeness, Rich. How do you do it??

  19. gecks

    is rose not going with nine then? since she started off with him…only it looks like he’s planning on leaving by himself, the way rose ask if he’s going to be allright, with the exception that one and susan are going to accompany him.

  20. gecks

    blast, one and susan are going with eight…

  21. Helen

    Awww poor Ten, playign up the lonely Dr RTD style are we? I have a feeling it would not be wise to let Ten travel alone!

  22. Sarlania

    Awww poor 10…..

  23. mrfranklin

    I don’t know… Seems to me Ten is doomed never to have a happy ending. RTD is good at plot twists, but he can be a rat bastard to his characters… Rich, you’ve managed to touch on Ten’s characteristic quiet melancholy in the last panel perfectly.

    kittystitcher and EricInWisconsin – I concur! “Foreshadowing: your sign of quality literature!” :)

  24. who am I?

    I love 2 and 7’s discussion of the card game!I just knew that 3 would not leave untill he made sure Alpha Centari and the others are allright.I’m kind of surprised 4 had nothing to say to the others before leaveing.He loves his little digs at the others.Perfect ending for Ten.He was alone when it started and now hes alone again…But I’ll bet hes not sad anymore!the Rani with Glitz & Drax?I hope Glitz warns Drax not to hit on her.Or else he too will feel her wrath(and knee!)

  25. KingOfAll42

    Woow another great page. awwww to 10. awwww to Rani. awwww to All.
    Such good Characterizations of all the docs and companions. :( to it almost being over. good job with it Rich.

  26. erdmann

    It’s sad that the end seems near, but I suspect there’s still a twist or turn awaiting Ten.
    BTW, korafrax, the girl with the injured arm is Nyssa.

  27. nightfly

    Hmmm… wasn’t that kind of dark of Ten, encouraging the Rani to get her exile lifted so she can stay on Gallifrey and get blowed up real good?

  28. dalek tor

    this is ironic 10 always ends up alone no matter what,where or who

  29. Ealoria

    OH NO…the end is near,or is it! Come on Rich, pull a transdimensional rabbit outtta the bag and find a way for all NOT to be Ok!

    Maybe some new threat that the Doctor hasn’t yet fought, will prevent them from getting to their own times

    You cant wrap things up so soon!

    Keep up the AMAZING work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I love this strip!

  30. The1Russter

    I don’t think 9 is traveling alone, he is just the last to enter the Tardis with 4 & 6. He just pauses to say goodbye to Gallifrey before entering.

    I hope to see some nice interaction between Doctors 1 & 8. If 8’s memory wasn’t restored during their mind link to help 10, then I hope 1 will help clear some of the cobwebs from his mind. Rich never did explain why 8 didn’t recognize his earlier selves. (I know in the movie and the books he suffers repeatedly with amnesia – a plot point which should never have been abused.)

    Is 10 going to stay on Gallifrey? Will he encounter Dalek-Ahn? Assist Leela with her rejuvenated family? Or just take one last look around at his old home?

  31. Mreen

    10 doesnt want to leave- 9 has Rose to keep an eye on him when he takes a last look around, but 10 doesnt even have that. :(

    Makes me wonder what 10 might be tempted to try, left all on his own like that – tho he knows he can do nothing.

  32. Percy

    All back the way they came (sort of). The Rani stay on Gallifrey? HA. Nice one, ten. Speaking of ten, poor him, all alone like at the beginning. Hopefully he’ll leave without running into more trouble! (Or hopefully not, since that would prolong this strip!) I still cannot get over the awesome of calling the Celestial Toymaker “Celly.”

  33. Stormwolf

    *sniffles and gives Ten a big snuggle* Poor guy always gets left alone. But oh dear, I’m a bit worried about him. For some reason at the end of this, the end of Runaway Bride popped into my head.

    “Find someone.”
    “I don’t need anyone.”
    “Yes you do, because I think you need someone to stop you.”
    “…yeah…”

    All alone, *on* Gallifrey…can he resist the temptation to alter history? I mean, it’s easy to tell yourself you can’t do anything about it when you’re nowhere near the planet, but when you’re right there, right on time to be able to change things…oh man, that temptation may be too great.

  34. thrillex

    i find it quite weird/funny that 1 calls 10 ‘young man’

  35. Lord President Lundar

    Is this the end? :-(

  36. BlackParchment

    So much happening in these eight panels!
    Just as everyone else seems to be saying, it’s very sad then Ten always seems to end up alone no matter what the circumstances. Nine’s goodbye to Gallifrey is sad enough but he at least has Rose to comfort him at this point. Ten’s alone and right back to the beginning of ‘The Ten Doctors’.

    …That being said, I don’t think this saga is over quite yet.
    I get the feeling that it won’t exactly be smooth sailing to The Eye… and that last panel might be chalk full of forshadowing for some helping/meddling that Ten is about to embark on. Stormwolf above me is right; the Doctor needs someone there to stop him… Ten especially, perhaps.
    Yet what is there for Ten to do at this point? Hmm..

    (PS. panel six is by far your BEST drawn Ten face that I have seen in this comic, Rich. You’ve nail Tennant’s “aww crap” eye roll… Wonderful job!)

  37. Tangerine

    No dilly-dallying.

    Which means he’s going to run off and turn to transduction barriers to 250%.

  38. SciFiMommy

    Was Rose actually being friendly towards Ace? Wow. Everything seems to be drawing together nicely now. Poor Nine, makes you think that if he could change things, he would. And poor Ten, as the song goes “ALL BY MYSELF….DON’T WANNA’ BE, ALL BY MYSELF…ANYMORE!” I will say the 7th panel, just caught me as so Ten. Maybe it’s the hair. :) Brilliant strip once again Rich!

  39. carol

    *sniff* Poor Ten. Is this the end?

  40. Snaresman

    I have no idea what’s going to happen next.

    Unless its just a few more pages of people saying goodbye. But I’m hoping there’s still some story left to be told.

  41. Pete

    Folks, what makes you think the end is near? They still haven’t found out who drew them all to the Eye at the same time, have they? There’s still a bad guy to meet and defeat. There’s still a big chunk of story to be told.

  42. dalektaliban

    ………….

  43. Lewis

    It was only the last page when Rich said there’s more to come.

    Feeling sorry for Nine though, a lot :(

  44. Psyduck Ranger

    Very sweet…I’d go into more detail, but I’m sure it’s already been said.

    I thought there were more villains involved that hadn’t been defeated yet? Is that really the last of them? Did I miss something? Could someone tell me each group of villains involved, and how & when they were beaten?

  45. Kat Klingon

    This page has just about left me speechless, still. If Nine were to remember all this he might be glad Ace and Rose spent no more time together — especially if Rose siddenly stars saying ‘Boom! at interesting tiimes, she wouldn’t understand most likely, but Nine could understand and cringe. Just the fact One is insistant on ‘No Dilly dallying.” Tells me Rich has one more twist coming up, so I’m looking forward to a little more story anyway.

  46. Jonathan

    I do have a feeling that something will happen here, to tie up some threads, but too much might be anticlimactic.

  47. Sadera

    still absolutely loving this series. poor ten. everything seems to be wrapping up now… what could possibly go wrong?!?

  48. IHatePears

    I think I figured out who messed with the doctors time lines, Ten. Being in the state he’s in now he’s destracted and dos something stupid (Like eat a Pear) a’la time crash.

  49. basserist

    Loving how Ten has to bend over to be nearish eye level to One, with sort of that blank-faced look… probably in reaction to being called a ‘young man’ by someone 600+ years his junior. Oh, One, you act so lordy but you’re really just the cute little baby in this lineup!

    I’d still like to see a little Ten/Rose interaction… I mean if we’re going to be doing things like having the rest of the Doctors blithely abandon him on Gallifrey we might as well have Rose rudely reminding him of losing her. It’s pick-on-Ten day! :D

  50. iRuler101

    AHHHHHHHHH Peace at last…………………………………or is it. * Insert suspenseful music here*

  51. MoreBeans

    Lol @basserist! Pick on 10 day indeed! XD. I’m seriously hoping like crazy there’s a lot more to come, like this page is only three quarters of the way through the whole story or something equally brilliant. I forgot to mention panel 6 in my earlier post: 10’s expression is brilliant!!

  52. phantomfighter

    :’(
    …9…10… i feel so sorry for them
    awsome job rich

  53. Dan_raven

    If Rich were truly evil–the next page would be a distant shot of poor lonesome 10, all alone on Gallifrey. Next panel, a closer shot. Third Panel a close up of poor 10’s face, as he looks up and utters right into the frame, “Exterminate!”

  54. Sindre1

    “Young man”?
    “But I am older then you…” :P

  55. Mitchell Craig

    There does seem to be one more twist left, and Ten seems to be positioned for it. A final confrontation…but with who?

    And as we’ve seen so far, the plot twists have never been what we’ve expected.

  56. Ladymara

    Another great page :) hmmmm I see some dilly dallying in ten’s future lol

  57. nightfly

    It could be Davros, or Dalek Ahn, or just Ten doing something… but I have to mention it again, since everyone’s snuggling up to and feeling sorry for the guy:

    A. he may still be partially influenced by Dalek programming;
    B. he just tried to convince the Rani to stay on Gallifrey, a planet which he knows will soon cease to exist;
    C. in the previous page he as good as told Maxil to watch his back…

    Not that he isn’t still the Doctor and “yay Doctor” and all that – and being turned into and back from a Dalek has got to be a complete mindcrank. Still, at this point Ten = not a nice guy.

  58. Complete blank

    As far as the Rani being on Gallifrey or not when the ‘end’ comes, I don’t think actually being there would be necessary. After all, I find it hard to believe that in the middle of a war, _every_ member of a space-travelling, time-travelling species is sitting on their planet when it gets blown up. However I remember the Dr early on in the new series tapping the side of his head while he tells Rose he’d know if there were any other Time Lords, indicating that he’d know telepathically. My theory is that the telepathic shock of having the rest of their species wiped out killed any Time Lords who weren’t home at the time, with the Master escaping by being human at the time (and thus out of contact) and the Dr by … well, I’m not sure, maybe by virtue of whatever he was doing at the time, but the shock forced him to regenerate into 9.

    Just my theory.

  59. cosmo smith

    i think nine and ten are going to have a gut-wrenching time leaving and that ten’s off to do a bit of sight-seeing before he heads back…

  60. Bill M.

    I perfectly understand 1 calling every Doctor that’s followed him as “young one.” He’s had the longest of any of the Doctors in their current form. 2 might be running close, but 1 calls him a dandy all the time. 4 had the longest BBC run, but in the overall value of The Doctor’s timelines, that means diddly squat. 10 in this story might be nearing the millenial mark on his age through all his incarnations, but he’s only been 10 for probably close to 3 years, maybe 4.

  61. Elliee Vaness

    Bill M: In the tv movie the seventh doctor said he was nearing the end of his life, and (in canon) we don’t know how long he or the eighth doctor lived anyway.

  62. mmm122

    This is the part where there’s a gigantic explosion or such

  63. ShinyTeapot

    Aw, poor 9 saying goodbye to Gallifrey again. It must be particularly hard for him to go. And 10 being left alone. 1’s comment to him about getting straight back to the Eye of Orion makes me think he’ll take a detour and get into some trouble before they all get back to where they started.

  64. TakingtheMike

    If we can keep the story going a little longer, it’ll become the 11 Doctors…

  65. captain loconut

    i just need to exclaim this and i am good
    ‘he has just had a dalek ‘enter’ his brain and he went thought the timewar and they leave him alone!!!! are they sane? well no but still; he still needs help!! after all taht he can’t just be okay. or can he?’
    okay i am good
    very good page rich

  66. who am I?

    Bill it’s 3 he calls a dandy.2 is the clown.As far as everybody being dead after the time war I still think the high council faked their deaths, wiped the doctors memory and put a false memory(they took the memory of time travel codes from the 3erd Doctor during his exile)So they can hide from the Daleks and the rest of a dangerous universe,and are still controling the TARDIS to use the Doctor as a pawn of the CIA.

  67. CrystalC

    I can make no sense of the background in panel 4. Er, no I just did. -.- There’s a before-and-after scene in the 4th panel area, isn’t there? Took me at least a minute to figure that out. That why that line between the two TARDISes is so dark!

  68. Tem

    totally with you captain loconut! personally, i like panel 7 for 8 in the background. n.n but, one thing is nagging me. who’s jack going to ride with? he hasn’t met 9 yet, and he’s not suppose to meet 10 again, but if he hitches a ride with any of the docs 1-8, might make for a paradox for 9. and i’m thinking too hard. i’ll go back to my corner now. n.n”’

  69. WhoRU?

    Glitz, Drax and the Rani . . . that has to be an interesting ride on the Tardis with those guys. . .

  70. Rassilon

    “Bill M: In the tv movie the seventh doctor said he was nearing the end of his life, and (in canon) we don’t know how long he or the eighth doctor lived anyway.”

    He’s looking back in retrospect about nearing the end of his seventh life & learning that you can never be too careful ie walking out of the TARDIS without looking to see what might be waiting for him, something the first was paranoid about if I recall correctly.

    On that point given that The Master is slithering about his TARDIS, wouldn’t it have made more sense to find a bucket to slop him into, than go strolling out to look for components to repair the ship or to go for a chinese takeout (instead of which, the chinese took him out).

  71. RaphEmer

    Maybe 1’s concern isn’t with 8, but with 10…and he wants to leave 10 alone to see what 10 will do.

  72. Doctor Who lover!!!!!

    If this story were true I would never leave ten ever. He’s so alone, all the other doctor’s have someone but when they turn into ten they’ll feel sadness like mad. Always alone. No one to love and hug and laugh with because in the end the doctor is always alone. Mostly ten, if you watch at the end of every series ten ends up losing his companions, series 2 Rose gose to another world, Martha leaves because she loves him and dosen’t want to follow him for years and Dona…. she forgot. So alone. Why him.

  73. Doctor Who lover!!!!!

    Martha left him in series 3 and Dona left the doctor in series 4. I forgot to say.
    Srry :[

  74. Scottimus Prime

    @ Dan raven’s idea: dooooo iiiiit…! :D

  75. Maki P

    Poor Lonely God……. He shouldn’t be left on his own! 1 should keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn’t crash or something (and he’d get to have his grandaughter around again)

  76. Sandman

    I wonder if the Black Guardian is behind this.

    The god-like being who is the anthropomorphic personification of the forces of entropy and chaos while seems limited when it comes to directly killing the Doctor as if there are rules that he cannot break or something, but can obviously bend them it seems.

  77. Elle

    I sense some forshadowing….
    I really like the way you drew this page, nicely done.
    Aww, so sad for (latter) Doctor.

  78. captain loconut

    why thank you tem, i think him being alone will make for an interesting plot twist

    and…
    who am !?: that is a very interesting theory, that could actually be very plausible

    i will once again take this chance to thank both rich and hilary, your work has been wonderful. i would also like to thank your daughter for keeping you in high spirits :)

  79. DoctorParadox

    I think you should do the adventures of maxil or the adventures of the 2.5 doctor, it would be so cool!

  80. Hybrid

    With the discussion about off-world time lords not being dead, I think that if there was a war, a lot of them would have been pressed into service (or volunteered: no one likes daleks). It’s called conscription. After all, they tried it with the master, knowing what a nutcase he was. However, there is that suspicious scene near the end of “Last of the Time Lords”…

  81. Mitchell Craig

    Hybrid: I saw a piece at Outpost Gallifrey which reported that the Master will return for Tennant’s last two specials, with Rose, Martha, and Donna comng along for the ride.

    This was based on an article which appeared in The Sun, and at this point, it may be premature, but the possibilities croggle the mind.

  82. Stacey

    I can’t really see Susan fighting without twisting her ankle and/or screaming. :P

  83. WalksInEternity

    Stacey: :lol: Nice one!

  84. Magic_and_Stars

    Okay, I’m seeing one K-9. :) But where’s Doctor 2.5? I like him! And yet has no one except Three asked about him?

    And everyone except Ten should be surprised at Jack returning from the dead.

    Maxil has already said that he would take care of Leela, but she and her children be on Gallifrey or some other planet? I’m worried about Dalek An; he’s be back to cause trouble.

    Typical Doctor–they run off, when things (this time on Gallifrey) are still in a mess. The new High Council will have their hands full!

    And Ten could cause some trouble on his home planet. There’s also the matter of the Meddling Monk, and the War Chief did a runner! Really, Maxil and Ten know more about what’s going on. The others should listen to them. I really don’t like that Ten was left alone–SJS should have stayed with him, and also her K-9!

    Rich, your work on this has brought a great deal of joy and angst to this reader. A lovely homage to Who, both New and Classic. Thanks very much for writing and drawing this wonderful story. :)

  85. Shannen

    “No dilly dallying!”
    Why if that isn’t forshadowing…

  86. Snaresman

    Just realised – we still haven’t had an explanation to davros being ‘a champion of time’.

    I’m hoping the explanation is still to come.

  87. Trevory

    Snaresman: That, and where Dalek Ahn/Andred went.
    Something tells me something bads gonna happen and everyone’s separated again, especially what Shannen pointed out.
    Also, the thing about the Master in Tennant’s two last specials with all 3 main companions coming back,NO!!! I liked Rose, but her coming back all the time is ANNOYING! But the story sounds cool… if only we see Adam again too, maybe in 3 years time in Series 7 (if they decide to make one), ‘coz 2012 was Adam’s timeline… and where Doctor 9 left him…

  88. Refusenik1

    Panel 4 – right bang on the money.

  89. The1Russter

    Come on. After the Doctor confronted Maxil about killing his friend, do you really think he’s going to trust him with helping Leela? The TimeLords see her as an outsider, not one of their own. Her children unwelcome hybrids of Human and Gallifreyan. I don’t think the TimeLords would do much as a group, one or two individuals perhaps maybe, but it is just as likely they would ban her from the citadel where she might get help from the outsiders. Overall I think 10 has got something in mind other than Leela or Maxil though.

  90. Whatsit

    I can think of ONE loose end still dangling somewhere in time…! Where and when will it turn up?

  91. Makkabee

    I love how 1 calls 10 “young man” even though 10 is quite a few centuries older.

  92. Sandman

    What would perhaps make an interesting ending for 10 if he’s alone again after his others are gone where he says something like…

    “I am a individual who has had the opportunity and experience to be other individuals in this long life of mine and through my travels with the Tardis, now that I’m in my 10th carnation, I can finally understand that no matter how different each person is, no matter what race or culture, no one is truly alone in this grand universe even if they are the last of their kind for we all have that one similarity deep inside which says that we can never be alone.”

  93. carol

    Sandman. that is beautiful! I think that is something 10 would say!

  94. JustAWanderer

    Magic_and_Stars, that’s probably K9 Mk II (Four & Romana’s K9) leaving with Four and the others. I think I see the top of Mk IV’s head (Sarah Jane’s) along with Five, Three and the gaggle of companions who are riding with them. (I see the Brig’s hat, so I assume they’re dropping off the people who came from Earth.) Old, beat-up K9 Mk I is probably staying with Leela. (I’m trying to picture K9 as a babysitter.)

  95. Whatsit

    I think 10 should take Leela off in his TARDIS & spend some time helping her raise the kids! He certainly wouldn’t be alone for several years, and he can still show up on EoO pretty much on time!
    Imagine 10 changing diapers. Or romping with a crowd of toddlers. :D

  96. James Swann

    WHY IS 8 LEAVING GALIFREY IT’S HIS TIME PERIOD… TIME CRASH OCCURING… AGAIN… I THINK… OF HAS THAT HAPPENED TO 5 YET? HAS IT? I DON’T KNOW?

  97. scionofgrace

    Ten alone on Gallifrey? This cannot end well.

    Love everybody saying “see you there!” and so on. They’ve all bonded so much!

  98. Dalek Em

    I find it funny that the first Doctor calls the tenth “young man” even though he’s the one who’s younger except in body.

  99. Captain Shade

    James…Yes, “Time Crash” has already happened for Five. Ten mentioned Nyssa, Tegan, and the Mara, to Five. And as Ten has memories of the event’s of “Time Crash” from Five’s perspective (that’s how he knew what to do to avert a disaster, the size of Belgium). Meaning “Time Crash happened after “Snakedance”, and before “Mawdryn Undead” (as Turlough wasn’t mentioned).

  100. Hybrid

    Maybe Ten just needs to be alone for a bit…

  101. Ammy

    How come I get this feeling that this isn’t over yet and that some MAJOR dilly-dallying is on the way? All together now, “my old man/said follow the van…”

  102. carol

    I think that 10 is the main subject in all this. Maybe there is something left for him to do.

  103. Doctor-Who-Fan

    That it ??? :(

  104. Rancke

    That’s Rose saying goodbye to Nine in panel three, right? She came to the Eye of Orion with him, so why is she not going back with him?

  105. carol

    I don’t know exacty what 10 needs to do. Maybe it has to do with Davros.

    I mean exactly.

  107. Ch1ps

    Did anyone else notice the possibly unintended pun in the second-last panel? ‘Keep an EYE on things?’

    …No? I should stop looking for puns… XP

    Aw, Ten’s all alone…again… :-(

  108. Stacey

    What’s going to happen to 2.5? Will he be unprojected? or am I going into spoilers here?

  109. Kat Klingon

    Rancke,
    I don’t see that as Rose telling Nine good-by they are getting into the same TARDIS. She knows Gallifrey is destroyed by the time she meets Nine, so she’s asking if he’s okay as he leaves Gallifrey whole, for probably the last time.
    I suspect Rich has a plan for 2.5, we’ll seen it soon no doubt.

  110. The1Russter

    Oooh. I just had an inspirational thought. Read what I say next carefully. What if the planet in the Eye of Orion, that the Doctor loves to visit so much, is in fact Gallifrey. At the end of the “Last Great Time War” what if Gallifrey, mistakenly believed destroyed, was in fact flung back in time and across space where it re-evolved into the planet at the Eye of Orion. And the few ruins that we see there are all that is left of the buildings that once stood at the base of the capital. And the reason the Doctor feels so at peace there is because unknowingly he is at home.

  111. WalksInEternity

    The1Russter: That would be very ironic, as that’s what the Timelords did to the Earth in The Mysterious Planet (Colin Baker Trial of a Timelord)

  112. LMCR

    I’m going to repeat this until the very end, but well done Rich! I would pay for and read your Doctor Who comics forever!!!

  113. Me26

    I love this comic, Rich you’re a genius.

  114. DoctorParadox

    Mitchell Craig don’t beleve the sun they said that there would be a doctor who movie and steven moffat and rtd said that they had no plans for a movie or such so I don’t think the sun should be trusted.

  115. Mitchell Craig

    DoctorParadox: I don’t believe The Sun – I only note the report they made.

    When Tennant’s last two Doctor Who specials are in the can and broadcast, then I’ll believe it.

  116. XBen

    I enjoy this page a lot, especially the picture of Tegan and Nyssa catching up with each other. Nice also to see 8 seeing Susan – but does he remember her? The only companion I can’t find is Sarah Jane. Maybe that’s her hair behind Turlough with 3 & 5?

  117. slj87

    i hope 10 gets to go wander around on gallifrey for a while, just to see his home again. I actually wanted this for 9 and 10, but I’ll settle, lol

  118. Lisa

    Aww!

  119. DeathlySerenity

    @Ammy “And Don’t dilly dally on the way~!” XD

    @Mitchell Craig, as others have said the Sun isn’t to be trusted. It’s like wikipedia, horribly typed and not peer referanced!!

  120. Parn

    Awww… poor 10 is alone, Again! just like the begining of this comic…

    *hugs 10* :D

  121. Kono-chan

    Aww…. This is really turning out quite nicely… I <3 Ten, really I do. I find it hilarious that 1 calls 10 ‘young man,’ when he’s quite a bit older than him… ^__^ I’ve never commented thusfar, but I just wanted you to know that this is quite brilliant and I love the way you draw the characters. The story is genius and I love it! I’ve always wondered how they would react if they met each other. Lovely comic.

  122. DoctorParadox

    I do wish there rumor about Paul Mcgann being in one of the specials is real.

  123. mrfranklin

    @ DoctorParadox – I concur. I have yet to see McGann in action (working on it!), but I would simply LOVE to see Eight get a little more screen time. So much the better if it happens during our Doctor-light “hiatus”…

  124. Dr.Dunno

    You kinda inspired this Gallifrey Rovers XI:

  125. Maureen MacDonald

    Could someone help me? What exactly does “extract your digit” mean?

  126. WalksInEternity

    Dr.Dunno: Ha! That reminds me of the sketch from the BBC radio show Dead Ringers, where the impressionist John Culshaw (doing his _uncanny_ Tom Baker impression) commentates on a Time Lord vs Jedi football (soccer) match after trying to put a bet on a game from the previsous year. Good work

  127. tbdanny

    @ Maureen MacDonald – what Glitz means is ‘get your finger out’ – in other words, let’s get a move on.

    Especially love the shot of 9 looking around at Gallifrey. Waiting with baited breath to see what happens next.

  128. Hitbob

    Have Matt Smith pop up at the end and say ’sorry im late’ or someet

  129. Faul T Wiring

    Does that mean this wonderful, fantastic brilliant comic is nearly finished? :( *sniff*

    Great work Rich

    P.S I may not have been the first to notice this but when the Dr’s done the mind share thin, Dr 2.5 was with them. On the next page he was outside reassuring the companions. Did he get kicked out or something?

  130. kapn

    @FAUL T WIRING – on 200 he’s there physically with the rest, but 201 he’s not there on the “internal” view. and he’s definitely outside with the companions on 203. I can only assume, as a projection, he couldn’t cut it when the mind merge actually happened and went out to reassure companions.

  131. Jonathan

    Maureen: I think it’s a nice version of take your thumb out of your a**, an expression meaning the same as let’s not dilly-dally.

  132. Faul T Wiring

    @ kapn: I’m still confused

    Well, it’s true what they say about sci fi. It doesn’t have to make sense, the fans will work it into the story somehow.;)

  133. DoctorParadox

    If Paul Mcgann ever did come back on air he would not be wearing his wig which we would accept because doctor’s can change there hair do just look at Jon pertwee? He originally had more flat silver hair and later it was all curlly and white with a hint of blonde in it.

  134. Magic_and_Stars

    Thanks, JustAWanderer! And I think I see 2.5; he’s standing behind Two in the first top panel on the left. Makes me feel better to see him there. :)

  135. Mark

    If I could survive the 6 years between Stephen King’s [i]The Waste Lands[/i] and [i]Wizard and Glass[/i], and then another six years before [i]Wolves of the Calla[/i], I can survive this. I hope every thing is going well for you both!

  136. Quetzalcoatl

    I have to agree with you Sindre1, 900>187 :D

  137. jonrob5000

    Well done Rich. I think you have come up with a more satisfying conclusion than Battlestar Galactica

  138. Mr Scirev

    This is really good now… sad that it’s ending, or is it?

  139. 494alex

    funny that 1 calls 10 ‘young man’ when 1 himself is 700 years younger than 10 is.

  140. Mat Greenfield

    Can’t help noticing that you haven’t released a new page in a while……

    ………is it over?

  141. MoreBeans

    We’d know if it’s over. Defo not over.

  142. kittystitcher

    No way is it over! We still have to find out who messed up the time line in the first place, and tricked all the Doctors into coming back to Gallifrey…not to mention half a dozen other loose ties.

  143. Mat Greenfield

    *exclaims high-pitched and gender confused squeals of joy*

    Rich, my dear boy, sequel?

  144. Hilary

    Not over – we moved house on Sunday and the scanner + all the comics are still in boxes. A little patience until we get some more things unpacked, please!

  145. Trevory

    You were moving house?!
    Cool, hope you like it!
    Is there any specific date when new comics are available? I’d just rather know!

  146. The Professor

    I am kind of confused on panel 4. It looks like 9 is going into his TARDIS. It also looks like there is a TARDIS next to 9’s on 9’s left (our right). We can see the front of this TARDIS at an angle. However, we can’t see the side of the TARDIS that would be closest to 9 even though that side should be visible. Am I nitpicking? Or am I missing something? It looks like that TARDIS is missing a side!

  147. mrfranklin

    @The Professor – I believe panel 4 is split in 2; first Nine looks around one last time, then he has shut the door of his TARDIS.

  148. Hilary

    Trevory: Not a clue. He has five more pages drawn; it’s a question of when we find the scanner and cables. If you’d rather not check the page periodically you can subscribe to the rss feed at the top of the page, and it will alert you when a new page or news item goes up.

    The Professor: that’s two panels, not one – the dividing line got a bit lost visually. The first one shows 9 at the door of the TARDIS, the second is at the same angle and shows the same TARDIS with a closed door.

  149. The Professor

    I guess I did miss something there. Thank you mrfranklin (my last name is Franklin also, btw!) and Hilary. I guess I have to look a little closer. That’s a duh! moment for me. Thanks again.

  150. Matt

    Yes, I’m fully addicted now.. is this storyline continuing or starting fresh? Hope all is well and my addiction can be fed soon! XD

  151. ny2who

    I am sure there is something more disrupting then moving but i am not sure what it is. Last move was 14 years ago just came across box with something i gave up looking for 12 years ago. Good luck in your new home and when the new ones arrive they arrive.

  152. Rich

    Rest assured, “The 10 Doctors” is CONTINUING! There is still some story left to tell and I, for one, love denouement.

  153. Sean

    Heh heh… “denouement”… That’s a fun word… Den-you-mount a horse and ride it the hell out of here…. Intrud-a window?

    Okay, I’ll stop now.

    Glad you moved into your house. Hope it’s an improvement.

    Matt: Being a fantastically huge nerd is NOT an addiction.
