The Eleventh Doctor returns in search of a runaway dog…but this is Doctor Who so this isn’t your usual pet reunion story.

 

As we wait for the arrival of the Twelfth Doctor’s first full length television adventure, Doctor Who: The Eleventh Doctor #1 gives us a new comic book adventure starring the previous Time Lord played by Matt Smith.

 

Into our cold, bleak, ordinary lives the Eleventh Doctor bursts in with a colorful, strange, loud entrance. Alice is a sad library assistant in London feeling empty and gray after a family tragedy.

Instead of falling into Wonderland, the wonder and spirit of the Eleventh Doctor series falls into her world.

 

The Doctor is on the trail of a strange alien creature on the loose in London when the hunt makes him cross paths with Alice and he finds a new kindred spirit and new companion after losing Amy and Rory.

 

This premiere is a self-contained adventure introducing the Doctor and Alice while reigniting the playful yet emotional tone of the previous series. Writers Al Ewing and Rob Williams drop some haunting hints of long term stories to come.

 

What are Gallifreyans doing on Earth and why are they spying on the Doctor? If this is set before the events of The Day of The Doctor, what are Gallifreyans doing alive?

 

Doctor Who: The Eleventh Doctor #1 by Al Ewing, Rob Williams and artist Simon Fraser arrives Wednesday from Titan Comics.
