It's finally happened. My brain has migrated to Capestrano. SDCC 2011 has barricaded my nueral pathways.

Unless of course I haven't lost my faculties and the image to the right is in fact real. There it was in my inbox. IDW has annunced a Star Trek/Legion of Superheroes crossover in six parts. The series is written by Chris Roberson with art from Jeffrey and Phillip Moy. Phil Jimenez will provide covers for each issue, with variants from the likes of Mike Grell, Keith Giffen, and Gabriel Rodriguez.

Fascinating...

"STAR TREK/LEGION OF SUPERHEROES tells the tale of the original crew of the Starship Enterprise, who beam down to a planet only to discover that the planet isn’t their intended destination, or even in the right universe. At the same time, a group of “Great Darkness Saga” Legionnaires inside a time sphere find themselves cast into the 23rd century, but it’s not the 23rd century as they know it, either. STAR TREK/LEGION OF SUPERHEROES is a galaxy-spanning adventure that draws both teams together to face a menace that includes Khunds, Klingons, Borg, and other threats that aren’t quite as they should be. The egalitarian United Planets in one universe and a United Federation of Planets in another is now the Imperial Planets of Terra, a dark empire focused on war and conquest, and that’s just the beginning for this special series."

But here's my favorite bit from the press release:

“Nothing like kicking off our first foray into the DC Universe with a story that spans dimensions and centuries,” said Chris Ryall, IDW’s Chief Creative Officer/Editor-in-Chief and the lead editor on this crossover. “As a huge fan of both of these teams and the eras we’re playing with here, as well as an admirer of the talents involved with this tale, I couldn’t be happier.”

"First?" You mean..there could be...more?

Star Trek/Legion of Superheroes #1 hits shelves this October.

Umm... WTF?!

Shut up and take my money!

If this is to be the first of many collaborations between DC and IDW, I fully expect a Booster Gold/Doctor Who crossover immediately!

I don't know Legion, but I'd bet good money that Captain Kirk will lay that blue colored girl on their team.

That would be perfect and a dream come true.

And Rory better be there, that's for damn sure.

Star Trek and Green Lantern Corps Crossover event would have been a better idea.
