I was honestly never a huge incredible fan of Star Trek but I know enough to enjoy this book. I am, however an incredibly huge Doctor Who fan (call me a Whovian if you will) and that was the main reason for me picking up this book. I believe that the Cybermen are probably one of the Doctor's most threatening enemies because what they do is kill humans, take their brains,lobotomize them and insert them into cyber metal bodies to take over whatever planet they are currently invading. This time, they are back with a vengeance but they have a new parter -- The Borg.
Any nerd or fanboy who is in love with science-fiction definitely needs to pick up this book because it was thorougly enjoyable and also felt like a tableau version of a legitimate episode of Star Trek or Doctor Who. One day, they should definitely find a way to port this into a movie with new actors for the Star Trek cast, of course.
In this book, we are right thrust into action as the Borg and Cybermen invade a planet and the Star Trek team are help evacuating the world leaders. This scene is wonderfully designed and the only thing I didn't like is that barely anyone tried to offense against the CyberBorg attack. Usually when you look at a painting-esque created cover for a comic you would think that this inside art is mediocre or not even close to the quality of the cover, right? Well in this case you would be wrong. The artist wants the most cinematic feel as possible so the art inside is consistently awesome and crazily detailed. Don't get me wrong, it is no Alex Ross art but it still looks and feels good for a science fiction book. The Doctor is shown having a different event totally unrelated to Picard's CyberBorg problems and Amy and Rory join him on this adventure. Rory gets to use his Roman Soldier skills once again and we see The Doctor save Ancient Egypt and then they travel off to another setting where they may meet up with the Borg or Cybermen.
There are very few negatives in this book that fanboys will be mad at, however there are some things that irked me. At times, the painting and facial expressions look awkward or unlikely. The first time we see the Doctor he looks like an old man finding out he is actually cancer free but after that it's completely fine. Some of the Doctor Who character's likeness and speech can seem off at times too. However, none of these things should take away from getting this book.
This book is really good and I am interested as to where this will head in the future. Issue 3's cover features a classic Doctor as well as Kirk's team getting attacked by CLASSIC Cybermen, so perhaps the Doctor has had this adventure before. This book gets a 3.5/5 star rating for me since it's only a prelude but will lead to much bigger things.
