The two greatest science-fiction properties of all time cross over for the first time in history, in STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION/DOCTOR WHO: ASSIMILATION2! An unexpected alliance is formed, providing a glimmer of hope in surviving the CyberBorg onslaught!
Again, J.K. Woodward's art shines in this issue. His painted style of art captures each character perfectly and gives the book a real feeling. In other words, the world he's created in this series has a lived in look to it. I've said before that it actually has the look of a television program.
