Is there anything in the Prime Directive about this?
Captain Kirk versus Gorillas?
Spock in a debate with Cornelius and Zira?
Two beloved sci-fi franchises collide in an upcoming crossover from IDW Publishing and BOOM! Studios: Star Trek/Planet of the Apes.
Announced at San Diego Comic Con, IDW will publish the crossover. Together with BOOM! Studios, they will bring Star Trek,licensed by CBS Consumer Products, and 20th Century Fox’s Planet of the Apes. The series pairs the original U.S.S. Enterprise crew with Taylor, Nova and the cast from the original Planet of the Apes film.
The creative team will be a mix of proven experience and new blood with scripts by beloved Star Trek scribes Scott and David Tipton (Star Trek: The Next Generation/Doctor Who: Assimilation 2) and interior art and covers by the British newcomer Rachael Stott.
“With the Klingons secretly backing a renegade gorilla general in a coup for control of Ape City, Captain Kirk finds himself in the uncomfortable position of having to help out Dr. Zaius’ orangutans,” explains David Tipton. “Taylor won’t be happy with that!”
“What an epic pairing! I’m so excited to see Taylor, Kirk…and those damned dirty apes…in our upcoming comic,” says IDW editor Sarah Gaydos, “We’re eager to team up these exciting creative forces to bring this to life.”
The publishers are working with CBS Consumers Products and 20th Century Fox to create this crossover.
