NO NO NO!! Jenna Coleman is Leaving Doctor Who

According to the Mirror the actress is leaving the part of Clara at the Christmas Special this year.  I thought she was the best companion in a long time and was just watching an episode today and thinking that she could be in the series for a long time to come - guess not.

Not sure why the article states that she will be the longest standing companion ever though.

THE FUSE—new story arc sparks new adventure‏


THE FUSE—NEW STORY ARC
SPARKS NEW ADVENTURE
Issue #7 will begin with a bang
"Space cops investigating space murders is the sort of synopsis that gets my attention, and so far Johnston and Greenwood appear to have the world-building skills and noir chops to back it up... If you're a fan of detective stories and sci-fi that's more gritty than glossy, it's worth a look." —WIRED

Writer Antony Johnston (UMBRAL, Wasteland, Daredevil) and artist Justin Greenwood (Wasteland, Resurrection) will ignite an all-new story arc in the gritty science fiction thriller THE FUSE with issue #7. The series smolders with murder, mystery, and mayhem 22,000 miles straight up—and there’s still no backup. So begins Part One of “Gridlock,” providing the perfect opportunity for readers to jump in on the action when it hits shelves on 11/5. THE FUSE #7 will also boast a variant cover by critically-acclaimed REVIVAL and Red Sonja artist Jenny Frison and a bonus backup strip “TABLOID.”

They call it Gridlocking—maglev-bike races across the Fuse’s vast solar arrays. Fast, dangerous, and very illegal. When a gridlocker turns up dead, Klem and Ralph begin their own race to catch a killer.

INTERSECT is both beautiful and grotesque‏


INTERSECT IS BOTH BEAUTIFUL
AND GROTESQUE
Ray Fawkes will cast a pall over November

Bodies shift and merge, warring with themselves. Blood rains from the skies. A child’s song is translated into toxic, thought-destroying whispers. Everything is changing. Everything is wrong. This is the world of INTERSECT.

Confrontation! Devastation! Inebriation! (And the lost secret of the hobos too!) Oh dear God no, you’d better get out of the way…because here come the Delinquents!

Quantum and Woody are the world’s worst superhero team. Archer & Armstrong are a mismatched pair of conspiracy-busting adventurers. When a mysterious force collides these ill-suited and irresponsible “heroes” for a cross-country race through the darkest corners of American mythology, all hell is bound to break loose. Can two busted pairs become four of a kind in time to defeat the Hobo King, save the day, and make it back home in time for happy hour? Let’s hope so…’cause these guys make a really, really bad team. (And you don’t even want to know about the goat.)

InConCeivable
August 15-17, 2014
Northampton, MA

Three Doctor Who panels and a photoshoot, organized by Dr. Who Club of Western MA.
Friday: 7:30 pm- 9:00 pm Ladies of Doctor Who: A panel examining the many women in the Doctor Who universe, including companions, enemies, allies, and "others" (*ahem*...River Song...*ahem*). Is the portrayal of women in Doctor Who any different than in other shows? Will any woman ever agree with the Doctor's assessment of what clothing item is "cool"? Our all-female panel including some members from the Dr. Who Club of Western Massachusetts will discuss all eras of the show, and we'll look at how the Doctor has changed with the women around him over the past 50 years, including a look back at the show's 50th anniversary special. 
Saturday: 12:00 pm- 1:00 pm Doctor Who: 50 Years into the Future: Having just passed the 50 year milestone this past November, Doctor Who has cemented itself as an enduring trend-setter in sci-fi/geek culture. Our panel which includes members of the Dr. Who Club of Western MA, will look back at the past half century, asking what worked, what didn't work, and what we'd like to see in the future. We'll also discuss Peter Capaldi, the latest actor to play The Doctor. Can Doctor Who endure the further ravages of time? Come learn about the future and the past of our favorite time-traveling oddball and discuss what might come to pass.  
Sunday: 11:00 am- 12:00 Doctor Who, Then, Now and In-Between: We'll compare and contrast the two main eras of Doctor Who, Classic (1963-1989) and the Reboot (2005-present). Has the Doctor become over-sexualized? Is he a sociopath or was he just written that way? Was the 1996 movie part of the classic era or reboot? The Reboot has greatly expanded the fandom but is there a divide between fans of the Classic Series and New? We'll also mention some "forgotten" parts of the Who Universe, such as Shakedown, comics, games, etc. This talk is presented by Dr. Who Club of Western MA. www.DrWhoClub.com
