Bleeding Cool is reporting, and seemingly has the art to prove it, that IDW is planning to launch a Star Trek / Doctor Who crossover series in May. The series, which will reportedly have the crew from Star Trek: The Next Generation teaming up with Doctor Who and his team. If true, this would mark the only time Doctor Who has been involved with any sort of major crossover event of any kind. Additionally, one has to wonder if and how this will play into the ever-complex Star Trek continuity. Simply put, a Star Trek / Doctor Who crossover is going to be a huge event in the geek world.
As reported by Rich Johnston over on Bleeding Cool…
“Bleeding Cool has squirrelled out news of an upcoming crossover that might send certain minds reeling. That in May, IDW are to publish a Doctor Who/Star Trek: The Next Generation crossover series. Featuring The Doctor, Rory, Amy, Captain Picard, Worf, Data, Geordi LaForge, Deanna Troi, Will Riker and the rest. And that this art, featuring the Doctor, Rory and Amy on the bridge of the Enterprise is a cover that will be used in the series.
Doctor Who has never engaged in any such officially sanctioned crossover outside of the Doctor Who universe before. The closest was Dimensions In Time, a much derided charity telethon show which featured characters from the BBC soap opera Eastenders. Then there was Death’s Head who kinda popped in and out. Star Trek has also seen comic book crossovers with X-Men and the Legion Of Superheroes. But this is the first time that two such major competing TV sci-fi franchises have been allowed to merge in any way before.”
