I highly recommend people read "Star Trek/Legion of Superheroes" first to see how Chris Roberson treated both franchises, I've said this before in the other thread, it has been sublime and better than I expected, and both franchises were treated equally and with the respect they both deserve. There are even continuity references for both as well. I was both excited and hesitant about it when it was first announced but fell in love with the thing after the first issue.
I understand that this will be a different story, with different writers, but if they treat it with the same passion and effort that Roberson treated Star Trek/Legion of Superheroes, it should be awesome.
