Doctor Who Ongoing

Announced at the February 2009 New York Comic Con, Doctor Who Ongoing is a monthly comic book by the American publisher IDW Publishing, which is scheduled to commence in July 2009.

Whereas previous IDW releases have been limited-run story arcs (except for reprint series), Doctor Who Ongoing, as the title suggests, is planned as a monthly "anthology" similar to standard comic books. Initially written by Tony Lee, IDW is planning the series to run for at least 18 issues, announcing that the New York Comic Con that the 18th issue, scheduled for publication in December 2010, will feature the start of original comic book adventures featuring the Eleventh Doctor.

Initially, the series will focus on the adventures of the Tenth Doctor, pairing him with new companions created for the comic book.

It has not yet been announced whether Doctor Who Ongoing will be available outside of North America.

Continuity

 * If the Doctor is going to be featured with new companions, this presumably means the stories featured will take place either during the period post-Journey's End in which he travelled alone, or during one of the other companionless gaps from earlier in the era.
