The most anticipated crossover event ever!!
Brand new series started today and will run for 8 issues. So this will run till December. My guy at the comic shop held one for me and he had cover B for me which I thought was pretty cool. So 2 Trek comics today!! WOO HOO!! There are 6 diiferent covers for this issue and I think the coolest one was of the Doctor sitting in the Captains chair on the Enterprise D. Amy & her husband are standing on the upper level behind Worf's console. I wouldn't mind trying to find that cover somewhere. The art style is a little odd to me but the story will probably be awesome. I won't wait to read the whole series when it finishes in Dec. I'll read this one very soon. And probably reread it all again in Dec. Rico's Trek pic of the day is cover RIA which is the wrap around photo cover.
Written by Scott and David Tipton with Tony Lee.

Check out the pic!
looking forward to this a lot! there is a serious doctor who fan at school that i am trying to get into star trek, this may just be the perfect opportunity!
Good idea, turtlesrock. I hope it works.
Never been a big fan of crossovers between brand franchises. I have yet to read one that was actually any good. Crossovers within franchises is a different matter though (eg. DS9 and TNG).

Mine is on its way BUT it's the Queens celebrations here so nothing will arrive until Wednesday.

I really enjoyed this first issue. Like I posted earlier though not really into the art style of this. Give it a try, Kevin.
Just read issue one and really enjoyed it a lot. Story is off to a great start and unlike Will I thought the art was terrific. It's done in a more painted style that really works. Looking forward to issue 2.
Hey, if you missed the 1st issue of this series they put out a 2nd printing yesterday! Grab one if you can. This will be a great series!
I really enjoyed the first issue, I really like the art work as well. I quite like that style of panel drawing, cant wait for issue 2.
I looked on ebay to see what the other covers for issue #1 were going for. WOW! The cover with the Doctor and his 2 companions on the bridge was going for about $40 or more! And some of them higher than that. Looks like I will be keeping my cover B issue.
LOL I never sell my comics and i've got to the stage now where i dont buy all the covers, i find its a trap that can cost you a bit.
Will I have the next two issues on order all ready have you got yours ordered?
I have them on the pull list at my comic shop! Can't wait for the next issue next week.
I need to pick this up.. now sure how I feel about these two crossing over..

You would enjoy it! I won't be getting the 2nd one for a few more days with the storm after effects. But I will be getting it as soon as I can.
Just read issue two, loved it. The story is engrossing, the drawings are spot on and it has captured the feel of both TNG and Dr Who. I need issue 3 and i need it now.

Oh, I want this so bad! I guess good things come to those 'who' wait.
Picked up issue #2 yesterday and I loved it. Great story! I got cover B for this issue and I think it's pretty cool. The Doctor and Captain Picard shaking hands.
[spoiler]I loved the part where they showed the Tardis on the holodeck grid. I thought that was so cool! And the part where Amy says "Look a spaceship with windows." Not an exact quote but close enough. [/spoiler]
Here is a pic of #2.
Picked up issue #3 of this great series and again it didn't disappoint. We have talked about the art style of this and in this issue there is a flashback to the TOS era where they use a different style from the main story which I thought was a neat idea. That shouldn't have gave anything away with issue #3 having Kirk on the front of cover A. I once again got cover B and I would have rather had cover A with Kirk on the front but he didn't have any more. Cool look of cover B reminds me of the First Contact movie poster. Only 3 covers released for this one. And a very cool page 1 to start of the story.
Man, it sucks that there isn't a comic shop in my area anymore. The Books-a-Million isn't carrying this one. Guess I'll have to wait for the trade.
Picked up #4 a few days ago but still haven't read it yet. Looking foward to it. I got cover A of this one even though he had put a cover B on my hold list. I just didn't care for the B cover. Here is a pic of #4 Cover A.
Here are issues 5 and 6 of this great series. I haven't read #6 yet.
#4 - 8.
#5 - 8. A little disagreement between Picard and the Doctor in this issue.
I really like these 2 covers especially the one with the Doctor shaking hands with a BORG!
I've been enjoying this and the "Hive" mini-series too.
This series came to an end in December and It has been really good. I need to read the last couple of issues because as I said in another post my comic shop didn't get it in or get enough of issue #7. So I'll be able to read the ending at one time. I think the covers on these issues are really cool. If you never read this series it is worth a look. They did a good job of blending the two series together. Here are the covers of the last 2 issues.
Wrap around cover for the upcoming trade hardcover of this terrific series.
