In Assimilation2 the iconic franchises will collide as the Borg and the Cybermen create an unholy alliance which results in potential disaster for humanity. Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise join forces with the Doctor and his trusted companions with the fate of the whole of the galaxy hanging loosely in the balance.
“We’re excited by this new adventure for the Doctor and the fact he will be travelling with Jean-Luc Picard and his iconic crew,” said the Executive Vice President of Home Entertainment and Licensing, Soumya Sriraman. “This makes the perfect partnership for not only for Doctor Who’s incredible fans, but also for the brand, as we have just celebrated our most successful year yet. Doctor Who’s latest series delivered record ratings on BBC America, and the most downloaded TV season in the US on iTunes.”
The eight-issue series is written by Scott and David Tipton and Tony Lee, featuring fully painted artwork by JK Woodward. A rare wraparound photo cover will also be available.
General manager of CBS Consumer Products, Liz Kalodner, added: “Joining these two sci-fi powerhouses will take the fans on the ultimate adventure through time and space.”

A new Torchwood audiobook adventure featuring Gwen and Rhys will be released next month.
Army of One by Ian Edgington, will be available to buy from 8th March, and is interestingly set after the events of Series 4, Miracle Day. In the original story, Washington D.C. has been hit by a spate of unusual serial killings. The victims are all different ages and genders and the locations all vary, but each body has one thing in common – it’s been reduced to a dried-up, dessicated husk.
Special agent Lucas Avery’s dealt with his fair share of tricky puzzles in his time, but this is stranger than anything he’s encountered. His lead is a pair of names: Gwen and Rhys.
For Gwen Cooper and Rhys Williams, who are still recovering from the recent, traumatic events that shook the world, life is about to get difficult and dangerous again. For it’s not just Homeland Security on their trail, but something else – something alien and deadly…
Gwen actress Eve Myles, who is currently appearing in All New People alongside Zach Braff, recently said she’d like a Torchwood movie to “draw a line under” the series…
