Faction Paradox (2003)

A bimonthly Faction Paradox comic was produced by Mad Norwegian Press and published by Image Comics in the latter half of 2003.

It featured an ongoing comic story written by Lawrence Miles and set after the end of the War in Heaven. It featured characters from Miles's Faction Paradox Protocols audios Sabbath Dei and In the Year of the Cat and his 2001 Eighth Doctor novel The Adventuress of Henrietta Street, albeit in a way that required no prior knowledge of those stories.

Despite favourable reviews from several mainstream comic reviewers, for cost reasons Mad Norwegian chose to end the comic series after issue two, leaving the third part unreleased and the story unfinished.

The comic was written by Lawrence Miles, edited by Lars Pearson, penciled by Jim Calafiore, inked by Peter Palmiotti, lettered by Christa Dickson, and coloured by Paul Monts. The covers were made by Steve Johnson.

Publisher's summary
December, 1774. America stands on the brink of armed revolt. With Boston placed under martial law and the colonies straining at the British Empire's bit, England's King George III is about to receive a rare gift from the Empress of Russia—the last living woolly mammoth in the Western hemisphere.

Among the dignitaries gathered at the mammoth's reception are two representatives from Faction Paradox. Though the details remain vague, the 1700s have apparently become a crossroads, an intersection between known history and the cosmic "War in Heaven." The Faction seems determined to involve itself in local politics … for whomever controls this intersection in time will ultimately control history.
