New Doctor Who one-shot comic coming this month
IDW will release a special one-shot Doctor Who comic, "The Whispering Gallery," by artist Ben Templesmith and writers Leah Moore & John Reppion.
In "The Whispering Gallery," the TARDIS lands in a mazelike gallery filled with thousands of talking pictures, and the Doctor and Martha discover they've come across a planet where showing emotion has been outlawed. The inhabitants have good reason for their suppression, but it wouldn't be like the Doctor to leave them in fear of truly living.
Married writing team Leah Moore and John Reppion have been fans of Doctor Who and pitched IDW Publishing on their story idea for the classic British sci-fi hero after Leah had a dream about a two-page spread one night.
Moore and Reppion became involved in the project after being approached by artist Templesmith (30 Days of Night), an admirer of their work.
Doctor Who: The Whispering Gallery hits stands on Feb. 25.

I just wish they could bring it to the small screen... for those of us who aren't comic book readers or fans. I love David as the Doctor...and hope the Sci-fi Channel airs the five 2009-2010 specials here in the US.

I will definitely look for this in the near future and I would also like it in the digital comic format like Watchmen and Batman have done.
No one wears lapel broccoli like the doctor.

The more Doctor the better, unfortunately the comic has been somewhat of a let down. The writing is just not as snappy. I'll still get it tough.
