The Betrothal of Sontar (graphic novel)

 was the tenth volume of the Panini Publishing series of Doctor Who Magazine comic collections, and the first to feature the Tenth Doctor. It included those Tenth Doctor DWM strips with the earliest release dates, and thus featured Rose Tyler, with significant guest-appearances by Jackie Tyler, Mickey Smith and the Brig. It notably contained The Lodger, which,, remains the only DWM comic story to be adapted into a televised story.

Like all in the series, it was notable for its high quality digital restoration of the comics. It was the first chance readers had of seeing the original version of the comics since they were first published in DWM in 2006 and 2007.
