Earlier this year, Titan Comics' Doctor Who comic series by Jody Houser and Roberta Ingranata reunited the fan-favorite pairing of the Tenth Doctor and his companion, Rose Tyler. However, there was a twist: this wasn't the Rose Tyler fans were familiar with, but a different version of the character who hailed from an alternate timeline.
Now, this variant version of Rose Tyler is set to star in her very own miniseries in Doctor Who: Empire of the Wolf #1, by the same creative team-- a series that will bring Rose Tyler face-to-face with a Doctor she hasn't met before: Paul McGann's Eighth Doctor.
The preview for Doctor Who: Empire of the Wolf #1 features a brief recap of Rose Tyler's story-- both the character fans are familiar with and the variant introduced in the 2021 Doctor Who comic. At the end of her adventures with the Tenth Doctor, Rose Tyler was trapped in a parallel universe, locked away from the reality she once called home. Eventually, she returned to help save the universe, but she returned to her new home with a human version of the Tenth Doctor.
Then, in 2021's Doctor Who comic, the Tenth Doctor stumbled into an alternate timeline where the Sea Devils had taken over the Earth. In this reality, Rose Tyler was a freedom fighter who helped humanity survive against their alien oppressors. She helped the Doctor restore the timeline and, left without a home, she went on to travel with the Doctor.
Now, both of these versions of Rose Tyler are coming to a head in Empire of the Wolf #1. Indeed, the preview ends with the prime Rose Tyler living on Earth, seemingly awaiting for the return of the Tenth Doctor for their next adventure. However, what she doesn't know is that, inside the TARDIS isn't the Doctor she is familiar with. It turns out the Eighth Doctor is on the trail of some Sontarans, and his readings lead him to Rose.
