Apotheosis was an Doctor Who Magazine comic strip featuring the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond.

Summary
The Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond arrive where time is running faster. They team up with a party of nuns to escape.

Part 1
The Doctor and Amy arrive on an unknown space station. The TARDIS has taken them to the wrong place. They are attacked by a security robot, which is soon destroyed by a group of nuns with guns. They scan the Doctor and Amy for purity and announce they are not 'untainted'. One of the nuns, Mother Ivana threatens the Doctor, but he manages to prove he is of no danger to them. They explain they are here to investigate some exotic particles of alien origin. Another nun, Sister Bridget, explains they are also here to find out what happened to an earlier expedition. They try to contact their ship but they can't leave on their own.

Amy talks to a novice nun named Novice Konami, who explains she joined the seven saints to protect children from' the abominations.' They find the source of the exotic particles, a leaking Time engine. The Doctor sonics a door open, revealing more robot security. The Doctor sonics the control system, sending it into stand-by. They find the previous expedition's skeletons and the Doctor grows stubble. The Doctor explains that time is speeding up because of the leak, which has caused Konami to age into an old woman. The Doctor sees a lizard and follows it into a pathway which within minutes grows into a jungle. The lizard dies of old age. The Doctor tells them to come with him to the TARDIS so they can get Konami to safety. As they approach they notice it has mutated.
