What happens when the Cybermen decide to branch out in their aim for total conquest of the known universes? They find the universe that the Borg live in and offer to team up, thus uniting the Doctor and the crew of the Next Generation. When we left off in volume one the Cybermen had turned against the Borg and are now attempting to eradicate them and use their technology to bring about their total control of the universe. Together the Doctor and Captain Picard must find away to stop the Cybermen.
As with the first volume I didn’t really like the artwork, finding some of the expressions to be either unrealistic or not matching the written words which was a real shame. You can tell that the authors have watched both the shows as the writing is very reminiscent of the characters and you can believe that they would say that in the manner that they do. It is well written enough that I could hear the Doctors voice in my head as I read the book.
I do feel that this could have been a lot better especially with the artwork for two such great shows. As far as the story goes I think this would have done a heck of a lot better had there been more put into the storyline, more in depth ie. how did the Cyberman come to be in this reality, why is the Doctor getting the new memories etc. I feel this would have benefited more if it had a better artist and spread out over several book, say 4 or 6 instead of just two.
It’s still a fun little storyline for fans of one or both shows, but plenty of room for improvement.

Then we meet up with the Doctor again in the holodeck and continue moving forward. I really liked the dialogue between Picard and the Doctor, but there is still a lot of what I feel like are nothing more than paraphrased quotes from both shows. I don't know if that is an artistic choice or not, but it doesn't feel right. It makes it so this story can't be cannon (in my head), and I want it to be. Otherwise, it feels little more than mediocre fanfiction. I want high class fan fiction. I want something unique with original material.

The set up continues. While the first issue focused on The Doctor, this one follows what the crew of the Enterprise was up to before three travelers and a blue box showed up onboard. We do get a little bit of interaction between the casts of the two franchises here. And we also get a cliffhanger where they introduce the threat of the story to the characters.

Nerdgasm, Doctor who and Star trek, how could this not be good, actually I thought it would be terrible from the outset, but it turned out insanely good. The artwork is very nice, in the style of oil based paints for the most part, with the artwork actually changing in a different scene to match the style of the series it depicts.

I was surprised how well these two universes melded. Great artwork. I will probably follow the series to its conclusion.
