Star Trek Vs Transformers broke all the rules of a typical comic book team-up and it was fantastic! This is the type of crossover any publisher should look to emulate! Read Full Review

Murphy and Tramontano on art truly capture the style of both cartoon series. Being both from an era where the style was much more simplistic (clean lines, bright colours), it might be a little jarring for some, but for those who were fans at any point, they’ll quite enjoy it. Read Full Review
Star Trek vs. Transformersmay not be the most in-depth story either franchises have to offer to fans, but Barber and Johnson manage to place some focus on the philosophyStar Trekis known for and how they can relate to Transformers. It's a fun story with good character interactions between the Enterprise and Autobots, making this a memorable enough mash-up of two of the biggest pop culture franchises IDW have put out.

The book feels short, but ends on an interesting cliffhanger, and it looks like readers wont need to wait long for a handshake between Captain Kirk and Optimus Prime. If youre looking for franchise-defining, revolutionary content, dont try here. However, what awaits the reader within is a great popcorn comic with a lot of love and care put into the product. If youre a fan of either franchise, youre in for a delight. Read Full Review

As yet I can't say whether I'm fully on board with the series. I appreciate the slight insanity of it all and I really do adore the look, but am I desperate to read issue #2? Well I'm not on tenterhooks just yet. Read Full Review
So Should you buy this book? I would have advised myself against it. Some things go well together: like peanut butter and chocolate others are like peanut butter and sauerkraut. You might find somebody that likes it, but most should avoid it. Read Full Review
A charming crossover that delivers what it promises. There's a couple transformers that aren't from the cartoon, a little cheat but it ultimately doesn't matter.
