^ That would probably be a good guess. TNG perspective issue leading up to the holodeck I'm guessing. The art is still not impressing me.
Holy ....! Doctor Who/Star Trek Crossover coming From IDW!
- Thread starter StCoop
- Start date
Kinda sorta.
Picard does the "Picard Maneuver" when he finally meets the Doctor!
The last page is a moment of true geekiness.
Finished reading issue two and I thought it was much improved over the first issue. The writing team has all the characterizations down from both the Doctor, Amy, and Rory and the TNG crew. As Allyn mentioned there were a lot of fun stuff in this issue. I still can't stand the art work. The likenesses are there perfectly, but it really does come off as painted photoscanned work. I'm guessing they went with this direction with the art to give the comic the feeling of a television episode, but again it doesn't work for me. Also interesting how they've chosen to ignore the fact that "Star Trek" is fiction in the "Doctor Who" universe...like the Doctor not knowing the word Klingon until he meets Worf.
What's more interesting is that while he's never heard of Klingons before he sees Worf, once he does he "remembers" them. Looks like they are going to be treating the characters as being from two seperate universes where are starting to merge.
Well, since the cover to either issue 3 or 4 (I forget which) shows
the Fourth Doctor and the TOS crew,
And for the record, I really like the artwork. I'd been fearing we'd get someone like Martin Geraghty (who draws the DWM strip) or Pablo Marcos (who drew a lot of the really bad early TNG comics) on art.
Frank Frazetta? Joe Jusko? Jeff Jones? Marko Djurdjevic?
never read their stuff.
...uncultured swine!
I'm a big fan of Marko's work...oh man...if he had done this crossover...now that would have been something special!!
They're a month apart which is standard for monthly series, even a mini-series. I agree that it felt like a TNG episode. The first episode did not feel like a "Doctor Who" episode despite the writers getting the characterization of the Doctor, Amy, and Rory bang on.
^ That's exactly what it looks like and what my problem with it is as well.
That's what it looks like, but that's not the way Woodward works.
He actually works in the same way that Alex Ross works -- model shots, pencils, and then paints over the pencils. The difference between Ross and Woodward is that Ross' models are people he's hired, while Woodward's models (at least for this series) are screencaps and promo shots. He's working from the same material that you, as a viewer, are familiar with.
Ross does it a WHOLE lot better though. Some of those panels in DW/Star Trek look like a high school student painted them... I couldn't tell who was who the work was so muddled.
He should be able to hid his sources better. Some doesn't even match the dialog/scene.
Well, finally got around to checking out Issue 2, and although I did enjoy it, I didn;t think it was as good as issue 1.
As predicted, this is more of a Trek related story, though now the Doctor and his companions are properly teamed up with the Enterprise crew, so the fun can begin.
We spend the first part of the issue on an aquatic world which Starfleet has a really unsafe mining operation on in order to get resources to rebuild ships after the losses at Wolf 359. Due to crappy safety standards, there's accident and a flood, but everything turns out okay, and the Enterprise takes off. Oh, and there's some reclusive aliens living on the world, who after a long-winded hello, declare they prefer to keep to themselves and disappear. After the accident, they show up, provided a long-winded explanation for why they can't help out and disappear. And just what is the deal with the female officer that is always wearing a pair of goggles? That just looked weird.
Really what does any of this have to do with the story? Of course, one could also argue what does hunting an alien criminal in ancient Egypt have to do with the story, and you're right, it doesn't. But at leat that was interesting and exciting, this just feels like filler.
But once everyone meets up, the story begins it's fanboy orgasms, but too late because everything is over.
Whatever, we now have the setup out of the way and can move onto the actual story. Bring it!
