ST Recap: Tomorrow is Yesterday - also, a momentary squee regarding comic books and a mini-contest

[azriona]

First, and most importantly:

OMG, FLIST. Why did none of you tell me about the Star Trek/Doctor Who comic book crossover? Bad Flist! Go to your rooms!

(Also, OMGWANT. Actually, I could make the argument that I need this comic in order to fully do justice to the Star Trek Rewatch. Yes. Absolutely. that sounds reasonable. Who wants to mail

I had no idea about the DW/SNG mash up comic! Details on IDW site: "This eight-issue series will be written by Scott and David Tipton, the authors of critically acclaimed Star Trek: Infestation, with a helping hand from longtime Doctor Who writer Tony Lee, and will feature fully painted artwork by J.K. Woodward (Fallen Angel).

Fans are encouraged to ask their retailers about the rare wraparound photo cover. Plus, artist Joe Corroney (Star Trek Ongoing) will provide a variant cover featuring the Doctor and friends aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise.

Doctor Who and Star Trek are two hugely successful franchises that began as television series, and have expanded into a number of other media, including comic books, which continue to captivate fans all over the world. Nearly five decades and 1,500 episodes in the making, this is the moment that both Trekkers and Whovians have waited for all their lives!

STAR TREK TNG/DOCTOR WHO: ASSIMILATION2 ($3.99, 32 pages, full color) will be available in stores in May 2012.

If I have Detailed instructions (about which edition to get, mail restrictions, etc) I would be happy to try to get these to you.

Also:

"There is something about sci-fi that makes people want to time travel." This is a common logical fallacy. Instead, it is something about time travel that makes people want sci-fi! (that, plus the unpleasantness of much of Real Life) ;-)

See, I'd think it would be the first way, because there is far more sci-fi that doesn't involve time travel than there are stories about time travel that don't involve sci-fi. That is, I consider time travel to be a subset of sci-fi. (I may be logicking me out of the argument, mind.)

And by all means, yes, if you'd like to pick me up a copy of the comic book, I can supply you with the address. And send something awesome in return, because unfortunately it's a slight pain in the butt to mail things to where we will be, as it involves customs forms and standing in line at the post office.

I don't mind-post office is nearby and besides, you completely deserve the comic books because of Cute Baby Monday & your awesome Star Trek recaps! Please feel free to remind me in May-the spirit is willing but my yak brain is Very Tiny. :)

Like mine is any better with Mommy Brain Rot? I'll remind you if you remind me. :)

I think I found a way to outsmart both our brains-I signed up for emails from IDW publishing. :)

You can do that???? Oh, you are CLEVER.
