Francesco Francavilla's black-and-white variant cover for "Star Trek TNG/Doctor Who: Assimilation2" #4. (IDW)
LinkCaptain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the USS Enterprise are striking an alliance with The Doctor and his TARDIS-traveling companions in a comic series from IDW –”Star Trek TNG/Doctor Who: Assimilation2.”
In the eight-part comic, the two transatlantic titans of television are teaming up against a villain pairing that threatens to destroy the galaxy: Cybermen and the Borg.
The series is co-written by Scott and David Tipton (who helmed “Star Trek: Infestation,” which follows a zombie epidemic in a Star Fleet colony) and Tony Lee, the longtime “Doctor Who” writer.
Here’s an exclusive first look at J.K. Woodward’s (“Fallen Angel“) cover for issue #4, which hits comic-book shops in August. Also, take a peek at the variant covers by Francesco Francavilla, the Italian artist who was nominated for an Eisner Award for his work on “Black Panther” and “Lone Ranger.” Francavilla is self-professed Whovian who creates a poster for each new “Doctor Who” episode.

The long-enduring debate of which Enterprise Captain would win in every fan’s epic showdown has spilled over with guts and gore. See the battle of the Zombie Captains as Kirk and Picard go head to head on the Zombie Walk of Fame at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2012/04/star-t…
I wish they hadn't felt compelled to use the Eleventh Doctor and company for this crossover. I would much rather have seen almost any of the previous incarnations of the Time Lord.
We all have our likes and dislikes, but in this case I think the Eleventh Doctor is a great fit.
totally with you on that Brett !
Funny, but as a kid I had a fantasy about a Star Trek TNG episode featuring a "Timelord" like character, with all the British eccentricity.
