Things to Look At From IDW’s Star Trek-Doctor Who Crossover

by Jamie Frevele | 4:14 pm, February 14th, 2012


Not long ago, IDW announced that they were teaming up two very huge sci-fi institutions for a crossover comic: Star Trek: The Next Generation and Doctor Who. Now, we’ve learned about who the Doctor and Captain Picard will be fighting together, and it’s pretty apparent that the good guys aren’t the only matches made in heaven. Or hell, really.

The full cover of the issue titled Assimilation will appear after some details, but we won’t wait that long to tell you about the enemies getting up in the Captain’s and the Doctor’s respectives grills: the Cybermen and the Borgs. The title may have been a bit of a hint, we realize. The issue will be written by people who have worked on separate comics for both Trek and Who: Scott and David Tipton (Star Trek: Infestation) and Tony Lee (Doctor Who). It will be drawn by J.K. Woodward, who worked on Fallen Angel.

Without further ado, here is that full cover we promised:

Bleeding Cool also got its hands on this picture:

Now I just want to see Data and Georidi La Forge in the TARDIS. I will also take Wesley Crusher in the TARDIS. Just to see what it looks like. I feel like Picard might walk in and immediately wonder where he’s supposed to sit, only because the seats on the Enterprise are so prominently featured and I often see Picard sitting in said seats.

No release date has been announced, but as you can see, it’s not a rumor. This is really happening.

    I was rather hoping we’d see The Traveler in the story – still a chance, I expect.

    Still can’t believe this is really happening. Wow

    I’m not that strong of a Star Trek fan, but this excites me.  They need to do these forever.

    I honestly grew up on The Next Generation. My mom was a really big Star Trek and Star Wars fan, so those were my first real sci fi introductions. I sadly did not get into Doctor Who until I was in middle school, but I am not just as big (if not more) of a fan of it as well. This is going to be a must read, even if just out of sheer curiosity.

    Borg and Cyberman make a good fit for bad guys, though I’d be more worried if they started assimilating Daleks…

    I’ve been maintaining lately that Q was the way the Star Trek Universe brought the Doctor into their universe. Now Q needs to show up.

    Holy crap, I think I just fell out from reality for a second there. Good thing because I think my excitement would have caused me to spontaneously combust
