A Trek/Who crossover

Not exactly the one that some fans have been requesting, but here're previews of both issues out this week.

First, DOCTOR WHO: THE WHISPERING GALLERY:



And STAR TREK: COUNTDOWN #2 (which was supposed to be exclusive to Ain't It Cool News but since the pages are now up at TrekWeb.com, I'll put them here, too. Although there's a lively discussion at AICN if you want to head there. Ain't It Cool will also have the only preview of issue 3, too:

I suppose there's little hope for a Who/Trek crossover...
*sigh*

We did try. A certain big-name sort who's currently doing Star Trek for us had a good idea but one of the two parties wouldn't approve a crossover.

Was that vague enough?

I read that title and thought: Nothing good can come of this...
And then "Ryall, you devious bugger".


Anywhoo..... DRWHOOO!!!
Stoked about this.
Stoked about the future ongoings.
Stoked about being stoked!!!!


Mind you: I don't think Who "works" in the Trekiverse. Trek takes itself so seriously, while Who is barmy as hell.

Now... Who and Transformers... I think that might work ;)

The art in Whispering Gallery is wonderfully Quintin Blake (ie the internal artist on tonnes of Roald Dalh books) IMO.

It's wonderfully "Who" (hint: barmy, thought-provoking, action-y)

Already done, my good fellow.
It's called "All Consuming Fire" by Andy Lane from the Virgin era of the novels. It's brilliant BTW.

It includes a wonderful scene where Holmes tries to "deduce" the Doctor, and the little agent of chaos just confounds him.

And for value added Who-nuttiness, the author throws in Mycroft, another Holmes brother called Sherringford, and a Great Old One.
