Empire of the Wolf was the story published in the Doctor Who: Empire of the Wolf miniseries in 2021, starring the Eighth and Eleventh Doctors.

Despite being promoted as a celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Eighth Doctor's debut, the story contained more elements from the 2005 revival era of Doctor Who, most notably the return of Rose Tyler, at a time which postdates the events of Journey's End in her personal timeline, in favour of any return of the Eighth Doctor's comic companions such as Stacy Townsend, Ssard, Izzy, Destrii, etc. As such, it offered yet another account of Rose's life with the so-called Meta-Crisis Doctor which bore a closer resemblance to, but was still fundamentally different from that which was established in The Turning of the Tide.

Another central aspect to the story was the return of the alternate version of Rose, introduced in Alternating Current.

Notes[]

Star Trek Communicator Empire of the Wolf

Star Trek communicator

  • The Eighth Doctor's appearance is a hybrid of his two televised outfits; His hair is generally shorter and his clothing resembles what he wore in The Night of the Doctor, but he more "formally" dressed, with cravat tied inside his shirt collar rather than directly on his neck, increasing the resemblance to his TV movie attire.
  • The Eighth Doctor's TARDIS control room is never fully illustrated, with only the console being visible while a generic starfield surrounds occupants of the room. In contrast, the Eleventh Doctor's TARDIS control room receives a full depiction.
  • A tapestry of Empress Rose Tyler resembles the Bayeux Tapestry.
  • In one panel (pictured at the top of the page), a previous illustration of the Tenth Doctor seems to have been recoloured to "match" Eight, despite the hair, face, and costume not resembling Eight.
  • Empress Rose Tyler uses a communicator from Star Trek.
