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! The true horror of the Borg-Cybermen alliance has been revealed, but what course of action will Captain Picard and the Doctor agree upon? And will the Doctor’s recently resurfaced memories shed new night on the dilemma?

May 22nd, 2012 - 8:58amIt should be worth getting. Vol 1 doesn’t come out until May 30th (or thereabouts) I believe, so it’s difficult to say without having read it yet.

May 15th, 2012 - 4:56pmWhy does it have the 4th Doctor, Kirk and Spock when it’s ment to be the 11th Doctor, Amy, Rory and Picard’s crew of the Enterprise-D ?.

May 15th, 2012 - 5:01pm‘And will the Doctor’s recently resurfaced memories shed new light on the dilemma?’ from that line in the synopsis, I think it’s safe to say that the Doctor and Federation crews have had previous adventures and it may have been the Cybermen’s defeat at the hands of 4th Doc and Kirk’s crew that made them consider the Federation enemies leading to an alliance with the borg. The issue I have with the cover, however fanish it may be, is that it completely ruins the surprise of finding out a previous Doctor had an adventure with the original crew.

May 15th, 2012 - 7:17pmI had thought that myself, just didint want to mention it.
IDW could do another cross over or two that I can think of.
Star Trek VS Star Wars where the R2-D2 and his fellow Astromech Droids face the Daleks [ fact it, both of them are both motorized dust bins ].
Torchwood VS the X Files. Captain Jack gets it on with Scully 😀

May 16th, 2012 - 6:04pmPity they don’t, it would have been fun to see Jack and the Torchwood Team work alongside Mulder and Scully.
