Short version: Picking up from the current series, the new series "Doctor Who Comic" sees the Thirteenth Doctor joining forces with the Tenth Doctor and Rose to take on the Sea Devils. Out in November, same creative team (Jody Houser, with art from Roberta Ingranata and Enrica Angiolini). All the variant covers are at the link above, but this one was especially unique and cool:

Haven’t we just had a crossover with the Tenth Doctor? Call me a bit cynical but surely they could have waited a bit longer?

I was surprised and also wish this could have waited. Titan seems to fall back a lot on multi-Doctor stories to boost sales/interest. I guess this is a new approach - i.e., just focusing on one Doctor instead of getting everyone together.

Considering this is the original second arc of Thirteenth Doctor Year 2, but they’ve now decided to relaunch the series still starting with this arc but now simply calling it “Doctor Who Comic” I wonder if that means we’ll be revisiting the other Doctors that were left hanging after the hiatus.
We know that more scripts for Gabby Gonzalez were written by Nick Abadziz, I think with the Twelfth Doctor. The Ninth Doctor also ended with a cliffhanger where Jack and Tara were stranded on Skaro. It’d also be nice to get a departure story for Alice.

Yeah, I’m not too frustrated about this because it seems like it’s just a relaunch of what they were already doing pre-COVID. I like the rebrand to Doctor Who Comic, though I think that implies we won’t be doing a continuation of the other Doctors, which is a shame.
I loved the Tenth & Eleventh Doctor runs and the fact they had original companions is what got me on board; I never bothered with the other runs for that reason.

I dunno... I think that probably Titan are in trouble. I thought BF were over-egging the pudding with quite so many multi-Doctor stories, and a loooot of Jon Culshaw's Brig (especially considering how under-utilised Nicholas Courtney was), but at least they have other irons in their fire. To just do a two-Doctor teamup comic suggests that sales are not high.
I don't even suppose this is actually a genuine revival of the old 'Doctor Who Comic' with the big page format and the multiple stories?

Well, I for one really enjoyed the recent 13 and 10 crossover comic.
I thought that was great, with nice artwork, lots of easter-eggs, nice meeting of companions and a few twists.
I thought it was very well done and one of the best Who comics Titan has done in quite a while.
I have subscribed to the series because of that and I am curious where they go next.
So they have decided to have 13 hang out with 10 for a while longer?
Well, since that worked quite well before, I am looking forward to it.
However, I agree that a continuation of the other Doctor's comics would be nice.
The Titan 11th Doctor comics (especially the ones set in the Time War) were among the best Who comics I have ever read. They were bold, unexpected and quite mature concerning the topics and issues raised.
