IDW Star Trek /Doctor Who: Assimilation2 #2
IDW Star Trek The Next Generation /Doctor Who: Assimilation2 #2
The two greatest science-fiction properties of all time cross over for the first time in history, in Star Trek: The Next Generation/Doctor Who: Assimilation2!
When the Federation’s most terrifying enemy strikes an unholy alliance with one of the Doctor’s most hated antagonists, the result is devastation on a cosmic scale! Geronimo? Make it so!
Launching in May, STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION/DOCTOR WHO: ASSIMILATION2 will feature fan-favorite villains the Borg and the Cybermen as they create an unholy alliance resulting in potential disaster for all humanity.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise find themselves joining forces with the Doctor and his companions, with the fate of the galaxy hanging in the balance.This eight-issue series will be written by Scott and David Tipton, the authors of critically acclaimed Star Trek: Infestation, with a helping hand from longtime Doctor Who writer Tony Lee, and will feature fully painted artwork by J.K. Woodward (Fallen Angel).

June 1st, 2012 - 5:13pmfecking hell, so much negativity..cant say im surprised all the americans are saying the same thing in reverse love star trek hate doctor who, some douche even went as far to say that the daleks were a rip-off of R2D2.
Im super excited loving both franchises I’ve got and read issue 1 which was a little disappointing but its only issue 1 its establishing the story..
Happiness will prevail
April 26th, 2012 - 4:17pmGood idea but It feels a bit cheap
gary
April 10th, 2012 - 12:09pmIf I had ever watched Star Trek then I might consider it but I haven’t so t should not happen on TV. In comics, I’m not bothered because I don’t generally read them!
Doctor who bladuun
April 9th, 2012 - 11:20amI don’t like star trek and this should never of happend!

April 10th, 2012 - 3:42amComic crossovers between different franchises are really common. Lots of people *love* these crossovers, but plenty of people like yourself do not. You won’t miss anything vital by not reading these, and they’re not going to start making crossover episodes.
This is something special for fans of both series. Plus some people who love Star Trek, may not have watched any/much Doctor Who, and this comic might make them want to watch it. The same goes for Doctor Who fans – I imagine many of the younger fans in particular have never seen Star Trek.

April 27th, 2012 - 7:28amyou may not like star trek but if you like dr who you may find star trek better with some doctor who stuff added.
i’ve never seen star trek so i’m going to get the comic and i’ll tell you what i think of it when i get it

April 9th, 2012 - 1:28amstar wars: yes
star trek: no
i am not a tekie so i dissaprove, but i must say it is unusual for doctor who to mix with another show, the only other shows it has mixed with is actualy bi-porducts of itself
i.e: torchwood
now a c-3po-cyberman crossover is what i would want to see.
Doctor who bladuun
April 9th, 2012 - 11:16amGreat idea!!!!!! Dalek/ R2-D2 and the master / Palpitine

December 4th, 2020 - 12:17pmIf your not a Trekkie then can’t disapprove! It’s simple as that, because you can’t judge what was MADE FOR THE FANS!

April 6th, 2012 - 12:01pmAlthough I am a massive Who fan, I am also a Trekie, big time. So if they did make a crossover it would my idea of TV heaven! BTW if it ever does happen I’m sure BooBoo would know about it!!!

April 4th, 2012 - 10:05pmI wonder if they’ll do it as the doctor and his companions entering another universe in which star trek is real.
Michael Diaz
April 11th, 2012 - 10:25pmThat would be very cool or I wonder if TNG goes to the Whoniverse? Where in that world Doctor Who is real.

April 4th, 2012 - 4:39amNice! I’ve got the whole series on preorder from a “Previews” comic store. I’ve asked for all cover variants, so I’m looking forward to seeing what they manage to get in.
(Last time I checked there were 3 covers for issue 1).

April 3rd, 2012 - 1:24pmHey Booboo, sorry it’s off topic, but if you look at Character website, they ave updated the figure page with the Cybermen figures by adding new logo bubbles next to them.
So they have changed the logo/packaging design slightly? Does this mean we may be getting more waves!?
booboo
April 3rd, 2012 - 1:56pmno idea

April 3rd, 2012 - 2:10pmI haven’t been to the CO store for awhile. I was a bit shocked to see only 8 (non-pandorica) current figures left to order in the range. 😯 Goodness, I thought they’d be around a bit longer than that.
I haven’t bought the 2 silent with lightning hands yet… I’ve had *no* luck finding them in Australia, and I was waiting for the April releases so I could order everthing from CO at once (international shipping kind of prevents small orders).
*Sigh* Looks like I’ll have to head over to eBay again. >_<

April 3rd, 2012 - 6:07pmCould we link to the Cyberman page on CO?
ExtremeFlashFilms
April 3rd, 2012 - 12:34pmReally do not like the idea. I really don’t like Star Trek, plus Doctor Who have mentioned it as a fiction TV show already. 😡
Sherlock
April 3rd, 2012 - 9:41amHow does this work then? Because Star Trek is a well known fictional TV programme! It was eve mentioned 3 times i series 6!
Give me a Dalek any day
April 3rd, 2012 - 9:51amYeah, that’s why I’m not excited for it.
Sherlock
April 3rd, 2012 - 10:10amI’m not a big fan of the Star Trek series’ either so I think this was a stupid idea…
I’m never up for crossovers… Even though the concept is really cool e.g. WhoLock (Doctor Who/Sherlock) I reckon all the things you could put with Doctor Who will have been or will be mentioned in one show or the other at one point!
the TARDIS
April 4th, 2012 - 3:44pmThe Doctor’s met Sherlock Holmes in various Virgin novels.
Give me a Dalek any day
April 4th, 2012 - 8:15pmTo me, crossovers only work when the shows are linked, E.G Doctor Who and The Sarah Jane Adventures, but when they’re not it just seems kind of wrong. The only real link between Doctor Who and Star Trek is that they’re both Sci-Fi.

April 5th, 2012 - 8:56pmYou are completely right GMADAD!

April 3rd, 2012 - 7:44amI got the Only Good Dalek, expensive, I loved it but I’m not too sure whether I would like this. 😕
Give me a Dalek any day
April 3rd, 2012 - 8:03amThe IDW comics aren’t the same as The Only Good Dalek. They’re very different…in a good way!
GreenAnchorRedWaterfall
April 5th, 2012 - 10:12amIs this digital or paperback or hardback?
booboo
April 5th, 2012 - 10:21amits like a comic and you should be able to get a digital version

April 3rd, 2012 - 7:29amAfter this, they should try out an idea I came up with 3 years ago called AVD : ALIEN VS DALEK. The video links are my video on how the films title sequence could look, while the other is a movie trailer for my idea produced by Rick Kelvington after he was blown away by my video –

Give me a Dalek any day
April 3rd, 2012 - 6:46amI’ve read a lot of these comics on the IDW app, but I’m
not so sure about these Doctor Who/Star Trek crossovers.
Doesn’t seem right to me.
Sorry, but I’ll pass.
Dalek Vader
April 3rd, 2012 - 1:24amWow this looks great, I hope that a cyberman/Borg hybrid will appear. I hope that more cross overs will appear with doctor who like a doctor who/ star wars crossover
