Abnett & Lanning writers of Multiversal Crossover!

Precisely what it says on the tin.

A G.I Joe/Star Trek/Transformers/Ghostbusters crossover! :eek:

It... erm, appears to be some form of rip-off of Marvel Zombies actually. Zombies of various types invade these Universes. Hijinks ensue.

Now, before I read that... I got the immediate reaction: That this could either be stupidly awesome, in that lovable brain-dead way, or incredibly stupid.

Guess we'll have to see what the first issue is like, before we know, eh? ;)



Oh, and it looks like the whole thing is made by various one-shots really, so I think DnA is only writing the main mini-series.

INFESTATION #1 ($3.99, 40 pages, full color) will be available in stores on January 19, 2011.

TRANSFORMERS: INFESTATION #1 and #2 will be in stores on February 2 and 16, 2011, respectively.

STAR TREK: INFESTATION #1 and #2 will be in stores on February 9 and 23, 2011, respectively.

G.I. JOE: INFESTATION #1 and #2 will be in stores on March 2 and 16, 2011, respectively.

GHOSTBUSTERS: INFESTATION #1 and #2 will be in stores on March 9 and 23, 2011, respectively.

INFESTATION #2 will be available in stores on April 6, 2011.

Sorry, I think I got one of those crossovers stuck in my throat...

Except that it's not actually a crossover of these particular titles, as none of the native characters interact with each other, only with zombies.

It sounds like a joke without a punchline.

The intro-issue was not...

Have no idea who the character are, and not much happened in the issue to make me care any more about them.

There are some strange and stupid ideas as well... Vampire-zombies?? Robot-zombies?? How does this stuff do THAT?

I kind of understand the narrative reasons... if there weren't then there'd be significantly less suspense regarding the Transformers and Vampire-characters in these books. Still, silly. But so far not in that good kind of NextWave way...

I'm not surprised. The TF comic abstinence continues...
