COMICS: DC Comics And IDW Teaming Up For GREEN LANTERN/STAR TREK Crossover
No, this isn't a late April Fool's Day joke! DC Comics and IDW are teaming up for Star Trek/Green Lantern: The Spectrum War, a six-part series which will feature the comic book version of Hal Jordan teaming up with the big screen crew of the Enterprise. Hit the jump for artwork and details...
Mashable has revealed that the worlds of Green Lantern and Star Trek will collide this summer in a crossover even from IDW Publishing, CBS Consumer Products, and DC Entertainment. Mike Johnson is writing Star Trek/Green Lantern: The Spectrum War, while Angel Hernandez will provide art. "We’ve looked forward to bringing these two iconic universes together for a long time," IDW President and COO Greg Goldstein said. "Star Trek and Green Lantern both share so many of the same science-fiction adventure themes and ideals, that a galaxy-spanning crossover like this is simply...logical." The site adds that the crew of the Enterprise will meet Hal Jordan in the 23rd Century and promise that some of them will end up wearing Green Lantern Corps Power Rings. If those rumours about Chris Pine playing Hal are true, we'll get another type of crossover soon...
