Here is a fantastic bit of graphic design. Shawn Sheehan took the opening to the original Star Trek series, and updated it with modern graphics, that makes everything seem fresh and new. Throw this in front of the Star Trek 2.0 stuff, and I’m sold!

REVIEW: Star Trek:The Next Generation/Doctor Who: Assimilation² #2 (of 8)
Or – “Why Couldn’t It Be Assimilation X 2?”
The universe is a vast and variable place, and the timestream even moreso. So, in a way, it’s actually a surprise that it only took the Doctor 50 years to land in the midst of someone else’s franchise. (I fully expected them to cross over with The Rat Patrol, or Herbie Goes To Monte Carlo by now…) It’s time for the time-and-space traversing Major Spoilers review…
MAJOR SPOILERS STAFF PICKS FOR JUNE 27, 2012
Though we were busy meeting new friends, and old fans at Nerdtacular 2012, that didn’t stop us from combing through the list of new comics coming out this week, and giving you a list of ten books you should read this week.
SOLICITATIONS: The Borg return to IDW Publishing
Press Release
There’s no easy way to say it… the Borg are back. The cubes, the Queen, Locutus, and their intractable stance on resistance have reared their ugly heads once again to jeopardize the fate of our Galaxy.

Major Spoilers Question Of The Day: Four Spacemen Enter, Two Spacemen Leave Edition
On the Major Spoilers Podcast, we have talked at length, as all nerds have, about the twin cornerstones of science-fiction: The sleek, clean antiseptic future of Star Trek and the dissipated, totemic long, long ago of Star Wars. Major Spoilers’ own Rodrigo has urged us all to stop the nerd-on-nerd violence, so we won’t be discussing which world is superior or has better acting. (To be frank, Shatner and Hamill kind of cancel one another out on that front.) But once in a while, you just have to let you mind wander and let your pop culture idols lay the imaginary smackdown on one another. It is, in the words of Chris Knight, a moral imperative.
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always “misquoted”) goes where no man has gone before. to a galaxy far, far away, asking: Who wins: Kirk and Spock or Luke and Han?
MOVIES: New Star Trek uniforms seen in the wild
Looks like J.J. Abrams has something in mind for the new Star Trek movie, as the new costumes look a bit fascist… or socialist… or something that has “ist” in it.
WWP’12: The Five Captains
I doubt one gets to see five captains from the Star Trek universe together that often unless there is a big Paramount to-do somewhere. Luckily, those who attended Wizard World Philadelphia this weekend, had a chance to meet those actors in one place. From left to right William Shatner, Patrick Stewart, Avery Brooks, Kate Mulgrew and Scott Bakula.
Major Spoilers Podcast #414: The Last Podcaster
In this issue: Bending air, G.I. Joe delayed, Youngblood does something, and Star Trek and Doctor Who team up to fight the metal men (but not THOSE Metal Men).

MOVIES: Spock shows off his volcano suit
No, Spock is not visiting Taco Bell, but the latest shot from the set of Star Trek 2: Stellar Boogaloo, does feature the pointed eared Zachary Quinto sporting his variant action figure costume.
WTF: What is Shatner up to now?
Is William Shatner trying to give us a clue to the Ghostbusters franchise, or is it simply time to spray for silverfish again?
My money is on a new IDW Publishing crossover…
