I'm currently reading the comic book TNG Doctor Who Crossover.
You can get both parts for $10 on your kindle, which isn't a bad deal. Part 1 is on sale for $1.99 and Part 2 is $7.99.
It's an interesting story that involves interuniversal crossing over as the Cybermen and Borg form an alliance.
I really enjoyed Part 1, but I think so far, Part 2 has been a let down. It's like all of a sudden the TNG characters felt written wrong. But the story isn't done yet for me, so maybe it has a better ending.

Crossovers in general don't make much sense to me. Dr.Who is entirely different than Star Trek. Came in point... can you seriously imagine the Borg making an "alliance" with anybody? Wouldn't they just assimilate the Cybermen and have done with it?

Did you read it? I just finished it last night, and I'm hoping SOMEONE read this thing besides me.
Doctor Who is different, but given the science fiction aspect of it, it CAN work.
The Borg and Cybermen are a lot alike.
They do have similar agendas.
The Borg are an emotionless species but if you convince them that an alliance would benefit the collective as a whole, they would do it. Of course, eventually, they would turn on you and assimilate you, but for a temporary time, yes, I could see it happening. I believe it happened that way on Voyager.
Of course by then, the Borg were completely ruined and nowhere near as great as they were in Best of Both Worlds, but if written properly, it can work.
There came a turning point in the crossover where it no longer felt like a crossover. It felt like Picard and crew were guest starring in a Doctor Who story to the point of things being unequal and out of character.
I liked the story, but I felt they didn't represent the Borg or TNG as well as they could have. That said, the first half was better than the second half.

Ah yes the Doctor is such a strong personality that does tend to happen. I believe some of the actresses who played companions had the same complaint!  |
