*little girl squeal*

Er, sorry 'bout that. I'm loving the TOS/LoSH crossover, and I've got high hopes for this one!

It'll probably be ridiculous, over the top, nonsense.

Can't wait.

Rich Johnston is reporting that the creative team is Scott and David Tipton writing and J.K. Woodward drawing. The title is Assimilation, and it will feature the Borg and the Cybermen teaming up to lay down some smack.

So not Tony Lee. Interesting. Borg/Cybermen are the most logical choice. Will be interesting to see if this gets confirmed.

We've known that Tony Lee wasn't writing it since Friday. He posted a comment at Bleeding Cool that he wasn't, and then he denied it later in the day on Twitter. (He also said that the Doctor Who project he's working on for IDW isn't related to this.)

if its Borg vs new series Cybermen, the Cyberman wont last 5 minutes. Even if the Borg will never be able to use love as a weapon against them

Admittedly, that's just a supposition on my part, based on the way team-ups like this work -- the villains team up forcing the heroes to team up to stop them. Since Bleeding Cool said the crossover would feature the Borg and the Cybermen, then it followed that the Borg and Cybermen would team up to destroy all creation and only the combined forces of the TARDIS and the Enterprise-D could stop them.

But it's really just a supposition. It's entirely possible that the Borg and the Cybermen could be at war and the Doctor and Picard get trapped in the middle.

While Borg and Cybermen make the most sense for marketing reasons, I've been busy dreaming up scnarios in which TNG characters are stuck fighting Who aliens.

Like if the Weeping Angels showed up, they could disable Geordi's Visor and he'd have no defense against them.

Or Worf against a Judoon, and for some reason their universal translators aren't working.
Worf: "Daj ba'wi! SosChi gint'ya!"
Judoon: "Sco po fo no wo jo bo ko!"
Then Worf charges toward the Judoon with a bat'leth.

Or the Enterprise and the Doctor are at war and the poor Borg and Cybermen are in the middle.

Or not.

Wouldn't make for a very long comic book. The Doctor wins by waving the sonic screwdriver around engineering, effectively reversing the polarity of the neutron flow. Geordi and Data spend too long trying to figure out a solution using Trek's even more complicated and nonsensical technobabble.

^ Nah, you're thinking of Voyager, not Next Gen.

I can completely imagine that conversation...

Geordi: What did you do?

The Doctor: I reversed the polarity of the neutron flow! It's all as good as new!

Data: I am afraid that that does not make sense. A neutron flow by definition would consist of neutrons, and neutrons do not carry a charge, therefore there is no polarity to reverse.

The Doctor: Yes, erm, well, you have to admit that what I did worked.

Geordi: Yes, but I still like to know what someone's done to my engines.

So when does the first issue come out again? Will it have as the cover as the artwork of the Doctor and companions on the Enterprise-D bridge?
