Feeling SUPERIOR in the Marvel Now

  Dan Slott, Ryan Stegman, Humberto Ramos and Giuseppe Camuncoli are creators named in a tease for Superior coming in January 2013. Is this a brand new Spidey comic?

  Amazing Spider-Man will end with issue #700. All the creators named have worked on Spidey’s flagship title recently and the colors are in Spidey’s traditional red and blue.

  Update: So this is when geek worlds collide. Star Trek popped into my head: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan when Khan’s second in command said “yours is the superior intellect.”  I thought of clones, then the Spidey clone saga and thought what if Superior was about another Spidey clone since the Jackal recently came back and Scarlet Spider is a hit?

Stay tuned True Believers!

Doctor Who Shows Captain Picard The Future

Star Trek: The Next Generation/Doctor Who: Assimilation2 #5 courtesy IDW Publishing

Warning: This review contains spoilers!

The unholy alliance of the Borg and Cybermen has shattered. The Federation’s greatest enemies are asking the Enterprise for help?

Can Doctor Who convince Captain Jean-Luc Picard to make the right decision that will save the Federation and entires universes?

Star Trek: The Next Generation/Doctor Who Assimilation 2 #5 is a break in the action of the crossover but still every bit as enjoyable of previous chapters. You could call this a “show my yours and I’ll show you mine” chapter.

Guinan convinces Captain Picard to reveal his experience with the Borg taking us back to the classic “Best of Both Worlds” episodes giving the Time Lord context of why Picard refuses to aid the Borg. The Doctor presses on trying to convince the Captain of the greater evil.

The Doctor fails. It’s up to Amy Pond and it’s a great moment that you could just picture Karen Gillan saying on television.  Soon Captain Picard is saying the classic line “it’s bigger on the inside. How it this possible?”

A trip in the Tardis shows Picard the future of the Federation and leads to a course correction.

I commend the writers for capturing the essences of each character from each franchise. Rory, Deanna Troi and Dr. Crusher share moments that make this crossover work. The Borg and Cybermen are battling each other. This issue was a battle of wills between Captain Picard and Doctor Who. The stage is set for an incredible alien encounter for the Doctor and an epic battle with universes at stake.
