Assimilation\\xb2.

\\n

In 1963 a BBC production by the name of Doctor Who\\npremiered and just four years later Star Trek would premiere on\\nNBC. Little did anyone know that these two shows would continue for\\nso long or become such a part of the cultural\\xa0zeitgeist. Yet\\nthe two franchises would not be brought together till 2012 in the\\nform of a comic crossover.\\xa0

\\n

In this episode of Literary Trek\\nhosts Matthew Rushing and Dan Gunther talk about the Star Trek: The\\nNext Generation and Doctor Who\\ncrossover\\xa0comic,\\xa0Assimilation\\xb2. We discuss the\\npost Wolf 359 Federation, the timeline of the story, being a Doctor\\nWho fan verses a novice, whether Guinan is part Time Lord, the art,\\ncrossovers and give our ratings.\\xa0

\\n

For our news segment we judge the covers for\\nAtonement, Star Trek Costumes and Child of Two Worlds, then review\\nOngoing #45 and New Visions Resistance.\\xa0
