In something culled directly from the dreams of fanboys across the galaxy, IDW Publishing revealed today that fan-favorites Doctor Who and Star Trek: The Next Generation would be coming together in an 8-issue mini-series titled Star Trek: The Next Generation/ Doctor Who: Assimilation2.

Written by Scott and David Tipton with help from IDW's longtime Doctor Who scribe Tony Lee and art by J.K. Woodward, the series will launch in May and find the Borg and the Cybermen joining forces, thereby bringing together the Doctor and his companions with the crew of Picard's Enterprise."By joining these two sci-fi powerhouses, fans will be taken on the ultimate adventure through time and space," said Liz Kalodner, executive vice president and general manager of CBS Consumer Products."We are excited about this new adventure for the Doctor and the fact that he will be travelling with Captain Jean-Luc Picard and his iconic crew. This is a perfect partnership for not only Doctor Who's incredible fans, but also for the brand. We have just celebrated our most successful year yet. Doctor Who's latest season delivered record ratings for BBC America and it was most downloaded full TV seasons of 2011 in the U.S. on the iTunes Store," says Soumya Sriraman, executive vice president Home Entertainment and Licensing.Excited for a Doctor/Picard team-up?
