In keeping with the tradition of the big summer event, Titan Comics has announced that they will publish a five-part weekly crossover in August among their ongoing Doctor Who comic titles. Their “Year One” will conclude with issue #15 in each title, followed by this weekly event, “Four Doctors”, written by Paul Cornell and illustrated by Neil Edwards. Each issue will have a regular cover with an illustration of the Doctor:

Together, the backgrounds interlock. But there will also be a series of photo covers:

Which you can see reveals the special guest in addition to the Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth Doctors — the War Doctor, played by John Hurt.

The third cover option features art of the companions, solo and together:

The event starts on August 12, with the second years of the series beginning after the event concludes.
