This Fall, the legendary crew members of Star Trek will boldly go where they’ve never gone before — to the DC Universe.
In IDW‘s first ever crossover with DC Comics, the characters of Star Trek and The Legion of Superheroes will meet in Star Trek/Legion of Superheroes. The story takes place in an alternate universe where the Legionnaires and the crew of The Starship Enterprise both land in a world that is not their intended destination, and what they are greeted with is less than welcoming. The two groups will have to team up to save their universes against Borgs, Klingons, and Khunds so that they can find their way back home.
It seems to be standard team up procedure, but how could you not get excited by this? I mean, Star Trek and The Legion are two of the best galactic teams of all time. Throw some Batman in here, and I just might die from overexposure to awesome!
Quite possibly, this is the greatest news ever, but if you add in the creative team, the deal just gets sweeter. Chris Roberson (Superman, iZombie) will be taking his signature wit and grace into this comic alongside Jeffrey and Phillip Molloy, who have previously worked in both universe, as well as covert art from Phil Jimenez.
Star Trek/Legion of Superheroes #1 hits stores this October, but you can contact your local retailer, go through IDW’s official site, or Things From Another World to reserve your copy so you don’t miss out. And let me tell you, you don’t want to miss out on this.

This has so much #FAIL connected with it, I don’t know where to start!

It might be worth it just to see TOS clash with the Borg – even if it’s only for a few panels.
