A handful of Star Trek/Doctor Who art by J.K. Woodward, particularly keen on the assimilated Dalek. That actual crossover itself wasn’t up to much to be honest, had it’s moments sure but the whole thing collapsed under the weight of the two franchises, but the art was never the problem on that front. 

The proposed sequel with DS9, from what’s available on it, sounds like it addressed a number of the issues with the first one. Personally, Two, Jamie, and Zoe meet the TOS crew is the obvious choice as Star Trek crossovers go.

Star Trek/Green Lantern #2

by: Jen Keith

Star Trek/Green Lantern: the comic frontier. These are the pages of the crossover event between DC and IDW. Its six-issue mission: to explore the meeting of two franchises, to seek out new story lines and new cameos, to boldly go where no crossover has gone before.

He flies through the vast reaches of the unknown, handling galaxy spanning conflicts between a menagerie of alien species with bravery and style. But wait, are we talking about James Kirk or Hal Jordan? For being infinitely immense, space seems a little smaller as these two powerful personalities collide in a singularity of action and cosmic adventure.

Kirk and crew discover the abandoned Lantern rings on a desolate planet, and as usual, can never leave well enough alone. Luckily some worthy ring-bearers are in the vicinity; the rings pass to members of the Enterprise’s crew and alien antagonists that will be delightfully familiar to fans of the Star Trek mythos. With yellow, red, and orange rings in the mix, it’s not all smooth sailing out here in the black. My favorite part is seeing how each character handles their newly acquired ring, and as a Bones fan, I haven’t stopped grinning about the potential hilarity. (Not sure if writer Mike Johnson will provide a “I’m a doctor, not a flying space cop!” line, but fingers crossed.)

Styled after the cast of the new Star Trek films, Angel Hernandez’s art finds a middle ground between actor-based realism and the stylization of a Green Lantern series. Alejandro Sanchez’s coloring stays true to the atmosphere of the movies and makes JJ Abrams proud as what better opportunity for bright, energetic colors and lens flares than Lantern rings?

Star Trek/Green Lantern promises to be an entertaining romp through two beloved series, and I’m glad to see DC and IDW taking advantage of such a perfect crossover opportunity. To fans of either space-faring franchise I say:  live long, prosper, and give this comic a read!
