The World Shapers

The World Shapers was the final regular Doctor Who Magazine comic strip to feature the Sixth Doctor. It featured the death of Jamie McCrimmon, a fate which, as of 2018, has not been contradicted in any medium. It has also attracted attention because it was written by legendary comic scribe Grant Morrison.

It was a Mondasian Cybermen origin story which showed that the Cybermen evolved from the Voord. These origins conflicted with most of the other origin stories given for the Cybermen, including Spare Parts and DWM's own The Cybermen. However, The Worldshapers was specifically referenced in The Doctor Falls as one of many origins of the Cybermen which all coexist in the Doctor Who universe, though it also establishes Planet 14, Marinus, and Mondas as separate planets, contradicting The World Shapers.
