Dawn of Time! (comic story)

 is a Doctor Who Adventures comic strip published in 2012.

Summary

 * The Doctor, Amy Pond and Rory Williams are having a rough ride in the Vortex when the TARDIS is invaded by a creature that identifies itself as Dawn 726-Alpha Continua. Dawn takes control of the TARDIS and they watch as the interior configuration reverts back to its original state. Dawn is a creation of Rassilon, a robot guardian, installed by the early Time Lords to fix a tear they made in the Space-Time. The TARDIS is seen as an imperfection to Dawn and she begins a countdown to destruction. Amy pleads with Dawn to check the TARDIS history to all the good that has been done. Dawn checks but realises that Gallifrey has gone, the link to the Matrix is severed – she is without guidance and purpose. Her self destruction and that of the TARDIS is narrowly avoided and, the drain of Artron energy from the TARDIS is reversed once Dawn contemplates a new life of freedom to travel the whole of Time and Space.
