If you are a Doctor Who or StarTrekTNG fan (or *gasp* both) this is for you.

Let me start by confessing- I am a ST:TNG Trekkie. I rooted for The Counselor and Worf. Riker's head tilts with so much swagger, I don't think there is room for loving thoughts of another.

I am a Doctor Who fan of the current series. My first adult viewing of Doctor Who was Matt Smith's first appearance. The original Doctor Who scared the stuffing out of me when I would catch it past my bedtime.

It pleased me to no end that my characters sounded like themselves on each page. I equally cheered for the Doctor and Picard to be the one to solve the problem of the day. I was always confused by the Cybermen storylines due to the timing of my fandom. This plot helped me out and, coincidentally, I was also watching DW Nightmare in Silver. Great timing.

The Borg have always stuck with me and I felt that they and the Cybermen stole the graphic novel in the background.

Without spoilering it for anyone, I liked how the artwork shifted to highlight some old friends.

I would have liked to have seen more dialogue between Picard and (Come on, What's His Name!) regarding the burden of responsibility and/or loss.

If you are only a DW or ST:TNG fan, I think you can appreciate this adventure. Don't worry, your heroes or favorite Big Bad won't be upstaged by the interlopers.

Now, if they would only make crossover event movies...
