Since this week’s news about the comic book industry has been even more depressing than usual (Marvel demands $17,000 from Ghost Rider creator! Comic Book Men vs. Comic Book Woman! Only five percent of the readers of the “New 52” were new readers! Walking Dead co-creator sues other Walking Dead co-creator!), about the only bright spot I’ve been able to focus on is this, from Bleeding Cool:

In May, IDW are to publish a Doctor Who/Star Trek: The Next Generation crossover series. Featuring the Doctor, Rory, Amy, Captain Picard, Worf, Data, Geordi LaForge, Deanna Troi, Will Riker and the rest….

Yes! And the cover art? Make it so!

But then Bobby Roberts had to go and RUIN IT.

Why yes, ladies, I DO use emoticons.

In conclusion, I have blocked Bobby Roberts from iChat and no longer acknowledge his existence. I urge you to do the same. Good day.

  3. Maybe restrictive copyright is a good thing after all. If it doesn’t prevent things like this, it at least makes it much more difficult for them to happen. That is, anywhere polite society can be subjected to it.

  6. I do agree with Bobby though, in that TNG seems too similar, hijinks-wise, to present Who to cross over well. CONTROVERSIAL OPINION: Amy Pond is basically Riker with longer legs.

  7. Jesus, IDW. Get in the fucking game with your art. Borring traces of production stills are not cutting it. And that coloring is awful. You’ve had some bright spots in your DW books. Don’t bring this one down to the usual sub standard you hold for your Trek line. You’ve got some amazing licenses. Don’t squander them. Take a cue from Dark Horse’s early days and make some great comics!

  9. COUNTERPOINT: Data & the Doctor try to get drunk in 10 Forward, fail. Geordi gets lost inside the Tardis. Barkley & Rory bond. Worf haymakers a Dalek into space. Guinan is revealed to be a Time Lord. Riker macks on Amy in his pajamas. Wesley & Rory bond. Picard gets some new fish for his ready room. Q makes fun of 11’s eyebrows.

  11. I honestly believe the part about Guinan being revealed to be a Time Lord. I bet you that happens in this book.

    No way Barclay bonds with ANYONE, much less Rory.

    Worf can haymaker a Dalek into outer space on DS9. As a matter of fact, if it happens on DS9, an entire Daleks vs. The Klingons fight can break out, and that’s WAY better than Worf punching a single trash-can.

  12. I…I got a ladyrection looking at Matt Smith in the captain’s chair. PLUS…Picard will get to say NUMBER ELEVEN a lot and I want that to happen real bad.

    Also I am a virgin.

  14. Doctor Who/Star Trek crossover? More like nerdy guy’s legs crossover, while relying on a hot chick in a miniskirt and boots in the background to make the cover interesting.
