It has been announced that IDW Publishing will make history when two of the greatest science-fiction properties of all time come together in a comic book for the first time.

STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION/DOCTOR WHO: ASSIMILATION2 ($3.99, 32 pages, full color) will feature fan-favorite villains the Borg and the Cybermen as they create an unholy alliance resulting in potential disaster for all humanity. Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise find themselves joining forces with the Doctor and his companions, with the fate of the galaxy hanging in the balance.

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).

Fans are encouraged to ask their retailers about the rare wraparound photo cover. Plus, artist Joe Corroney (Star Trek Ongoing) will provide a variant cover featuring the Doctor and friends aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise.

STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION/DOCTOR WHO: ASSIMILATION2 officially launches this May. Visit IDWPublishing.com to sign up for updates.
