Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

Following the lukewarm reception given in some quarters to the Star Trek/Planet of the Apes crossover which is currently drawing to a close, IDW are probably hoping for better reviews for their next Star Trek mix, which will see the crew of the new Enterprise (as seen in the recent movies) encounter the Green Lantern Corps.

Mike Johnson, who has written multiple Trek and DC comics in recent years, is writing the six-issue “Spectrum War,” joined by artist Angel Hernández, according to the announcement at WonderCon over the Easter weekend.

According to the official release, “Set in Star Trek’s 23rd Century, the balance of the universe will be tested when the Green Lantern Corps’ Power Rings come into the possession of certain Star Trek characters while a dark and powerful evil looms around every corner. Only the combined power of the Green Lantern Corps and the Federation stand any chance of stopping those who worship evil’s might.”

“We’ve looked forward to bringing these two iconic universes together for a long time,” Greg Goldstein, IDW President and COO, said in a press release. “Star Trek and Green Lantern both share so many of the same science-fiction adventure themes and ideals, that a galaxy-spanning crossover like this is simply… logical.”
