Doctor Who meets Captain Picard!
First up is the very strange but curiously kooky Star Trek/Doctor Who crossover. BBC Worldwide in conjunction with IDW Publishing is launching Star Trek: the Next Generation/Doctor Who: Assimilation 2 on May 2012. Featuring both the Borg and the Cybermen in an unholy alliance of epic proportion, Assimilation 2 joins the crew of the USS Enterprise and the Doctor on a balls-out Sci-Fi adventure to save the universe.
This eight-issue series will be written by Scott and David Tipton, the authors of critically acclaimed Star Trek: Infestation, with a helping hand from longtime Doctor Who writer Tony Lee, and will feature fully painted artwork by J.K. Woodward (Fallen Angel).
Arcana Comic’s kick’n New Website
Arcanum has revamped their website and it looks killer. Everything is polished up, easier to navigate and they have really clicked it up a notch. Go take a look for yourself at www.arcana.com.
Along with the new look Arcana has also struck up a new relationship with Benderspink, the production company behind such films as Hangover, I am Number Four and The Butterfly Effect. If we are looking at some comic book spin-offs in the future this should prove to be very interesting.
