Preview: Missy the new Doctor Who comic

A four-issue comic book and a brand new series featuring Missy, the female regeneration of The Master, will launch in April.

The new story follows on from the success that was the Tenth and Thirteenth crossover comic book adventure with Weeping Angels, Skithra, Sea Devils and Autons and pits Michelle Gomez’s Missy against the Third and Twelfth Doctor.

Missy celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Master’s first appearance, and BBC Studios and Titan Comics say it will feature more Doctors and Masters than before.

Jody Houser returns as writer, as does illustrator Roberta Ingranata (Witchblade), and colourist Enrica Angiolini (Warhammer40,000).

Houser told press;

I wrote a few pages of Missy way back in The Road to Thirteen, and I’ve been dying to write more of her ever since. Her ineffable cunning and sense of fun make her the most delightful sort of monsters.
