Doctor Who (2012)

Doctor Who (2012), published by IDW Publishing, was the third American comic book series, comprised of multiple stories, with an ongoing, original Doctor Who narrative. It was set after As Time Goes By and initially featured the Eleventh Doctor, Amy Pond and Rory Williams. Publication commenced with the September 2012 issue, containing part one of Hypothetical Gentleman.

It was considered distinct from IDW's previous "ongoing" series because it deliberately started its numbering system over with a new issue number 1. There was no obvious narrative reason for this numerical reboot, as the same TARDIS crew is used here as in the previous series. The restart came purely because IDW's main Doctor Who writer had changed from Tony Lee to Andy Diggle.

Unlike previous IDW Doctor Who titles, its indicia actually did bear a volume number. Formally, the series was called Doctor Who Volume Three.
