Several years ago, Marvel did a Trek Crossover with the X-Men that was, well, different. It was interesting to see a "face off" between Wolverine and Spock. One memorable quote from Wolverine. "Watch it bub. Or I'll be bobbing those pointy ears." Or something like that. And of course you have nurse Chappel asking for Dr. McCoy, followed by Bones and Beast turning and saying "yes?" Good stuff.

First the X Men, and now this. Well at least Bob Orci has nothing to do with it.

First, JJ Abrams craps all over the Star Trek Universe and now, DC isn't satisfied crapping all over their own universe, they have spread the poo into the Star Trek Universe as well. I'm beginning to understand Grif more and more each day.

Then I wonder who's going to who's past?

Shatner's Kirk is still alive obviously and looks younger...more around his age in TOS. So...this story takes place obviously before TNG series.

Or do the Legion exist within the same timeline as TOS?

Damn these crossovers. lol

@LP4....I was under the impression that the Star Trek TOS universe occurs in the late 23rd century, while the Legion occurs in the 31st century, although I could be mistaken.

Knightstalker: that is correct.

They´ll probably justify the cross-over with the Legion´s time machine bubble bumping into another spatial anomaly.

Ummmmmmmmmmm....... Poooop? As a retarded idea as it is it better be some kind of parellel universe interactions going on or both time continiums will explode on the first issue.

I wonder if Spock will metaphorically nerve pinch Mordru's (provided he will be included in the story) ego?

Mike Grell is making variant covers for this? I am sold on this idea.

@Knightstalker- Thanks for the heads-up man. TNG would have been cooler crossover though. Picard and Worf are [frick]ing awesome.

smithonator - 7/26/2011, 10:53 AM
@LP4- Picard would probably bore the Legion to death while Worf would threaten to kill Picard...YET AGAIN.
