I'd love to say that I was going to buy this. But times being what they are, I'm subtracting from the pull list, not adding.

Well at leastm unlike in the Star Trek/X-Men case, they're not so differently drawn that it strains credulity that they could coexist in the same space-time.

I'd say the fact they went with the DC property that fits best with Star Trek instead of something more 'commercial' should be a good sign.

My favorite sci-fi series with my all time favorite super-hero team? And a Giffen cover? I'll sit at my local comic book store and start waiting now!

I'm also reminded of TOS/TNG/X-Men here....and I actually liked it....never read much of the Legion before but I think it's defenitely wort a try/buy and from what I gathered of the story, it looks quite interesting

....funny thing with the Doctor.... not only that the TOS-Spinoff with Gary Seven would've esentially been some kind of Doctor-like series in the ST-universe....I also have found two ST-books now where the Doctor is kind of mentioned some way or another.... not in a direct way, but if you know what to look for you'll get it.....an there's also a fan-created adcenture for the Dr Who RPG where the Doctor and Martha end up on the big old E...

There are quite a few Doctor Who refs in Trek over the years, many of them listed here:

http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Doctor_Who#Doctor_Who_references_in_Star_Trek

In terms of novels, "My Enemy, My Ally" has people watching a 4th Doctor episode, "Ishmael" talks about the 2nd and 4th Doctors, "Blind Man's Bluff" has Soleta talking about meeting a fellow that sounds a lot like the 10th Doctor.

Sonic screwdrivers have popped up in a couple of novels too over the years.
