Two of the greatest sci-fi franchises will soon be joining forces! Dark Horse Comics and IDW Publishing will be bringing us the Star Trek: The Next Generation<\/a>\/Aliens<\/a><\/em> comic book series. The crossover I never knew I needed until now!<\/p>\n The title of the upcoming book is Acceptable Losses<\/em>. The series will be written by Scott and David Tipton, with J.K. Woodward as the principal artist. The three have worked together before, penning the 2012 miniseries Star Trek: The Next Generation\/Doctor Who: Assimilation 2<\/em>.<\/p>\n The idea of crossover comics is nothing new. In fact, IDW Publishing \u2013 the owners of the Star Trek<\/em> comic book rights \u2013 have been lending out their characters for collaborations for many years. They\u2019ve partnered with Marvel for Star Trek\/X-Men<\/em>, Star Trek: The Next Generation: X-Men: Second Contact<\/em>, and Star Trek: The Next Generation\/X-Men: Planet X<\/em>. DC has also joined in on the fun for Star Trek\/Legion of Super-Heroes<\/em> and two separate Star Trek\/Green Lantern<\/em> series.<\/p>\n Comic book crossovers are a fun way for fans to see characters from different properties interact in a way that wouldn\u2019t be possible with feature films or television. I for one am excited to see how the crew of the Enterprise deals with the bloodthirsty Xenomorphs!<\/p>\n Acceptable Losses<\/em> will be available in April 2017.<\/p>\n Are you excited for this upcoming series?
