The Doctor is back, but what’s taken him so long? Find out in our first look at Doctor Who season nine, hot off the presses from the show’s Comic-Con panel!
The Twelfth Doctor intones his glee and distate over the majesty of the universe—he’d like to kiss it death, apparently, which is very Doctor-ish—as we get to see glimpses of new creatures, like these robots:

It’s not just new foes for The Doctor to fight. Both the Daleks and Missy are returning:
And kid-knapping Zygons!
We even get a few wonderful looking location shots, teasing underwater bases, strange alien worlds, and weird-looking cities:

Doctor Who returns to BBC One and BBC America on September 19th. Stay tuned to io9 for more coverage from SDCC, including a post-panel recap of all the action and news from Doctor Who’s panel.
