What you get when you combine 2 of the most influential, famous , and imaginative Sci Fi franchise of all times ? A comic book that will have most collectors clambering for and all but the disinterested fans drooling for and without a doubt be one for the history books.  IDW Publishing has announced on Monday Feb 13, 2012 that it will put out a comic with that features the characters of Dr Who and Star Trek The Next Generation. The  book will be out in May  2012 with collaborations from BBC Worldwide Consumer Products and CBS Consumer Products, IDW Publishing and is called STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION/DOCTOR WHO: ASSIMILATION2 which like I said will feature the TNG crew and Dr Who and companions but will also feature an alliance of Cybermen and the Borg. It will be an 8 issue series that will have Scott and David Tipton, the authors of Star Trek: Infestation, and steady  Doctor Who writer Tony Lee,with  artwork by J.K. Woodward .

There are 5 new posters that were added to the ones already there for promoting the upcoming rerelease of Star Wars Episode 1 "The Phantom Menace" in 3D which is opening February 10th. 3 features Darth Maul a minor charter in the scheme of the Star Wars films but became one of the more popular of the characters in the franchise. One of the posters is of a light saber which has Darth Maul, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Queen Padmé Amidala,Qui-Gon Jinn, and Anakin Skywalker in a red glow. Another has the pod race scene, and another has the ore mentioned characters in a blue light which to me looks like a another light saber. Then there are others that I found one I saw when googling of Yoda in another language and one is the original one I first saw when the announcement of the rerelease.

Friday Alamo Drafthouse’s collectible art boutique had release 24”x36, posters (2 variations) called “I, Borg,” by Jesse Philips. Both inspired by Star Trek (TNG) episode of the same name I Borg from the 5th season and you were able to purchase them at Mondo.com. The first poster named iBorg  regular sold for $40.oo . It is done with a blue background with the Borg being the focal point and featuring the Starship Enterprise , a Borg cube, spotlighting some body enhancements and parts with a sleek design that riddles the posters. The second called iBorg variant is the same but done in grayish and is printed in a metallic ink. Both also include episode info such as cast, title , crew info and more.   However since they went on sale they were sold out with in the first day and still are sold out . Still they are well done pieces of art that deserve a nod and a notice.
