Generation X.
Oct. 1st, 2008 08:05 pmSo i was googling about a game earlier, and you know how things go. One link to another link to another link, and i came across one of the most mind-boggling wtf series of comics and novels i've ever heard of. So i bought them.


From a wiki: "The 1998 Star Trek novel Planet X (ISBN 0671019163) by Michael Jan Friedman is a crossover between the X-Men comic book series and the characters of Star Trek: The Next Generation. It was a sequel to an earlier crossover, detailed in the Marvel Comics one-shot Second Contact (which was itself similar to an earlier Star Trek/X-Men crossover comic, where a slightly different team of X-Men encountered the characters of the original Star Trek series). The novel is noteworthy for hinting at an attraction between Jean-Luc Picard and Ororo Munroe (Storm), and made a forward-looking reference to the (then uncast) X-Men feature film by remarking on the uncanny resemblance between Picard and Xavier, as the two converse via the holodeck after a reasonable facsimile of Xavier is programmed into it."
I have no idea how or why this even exists, but i have to read it. It's crazy but... i just have to find out if it's a total trainwreck. Or how... this even works. Maybe it will be good... or at least okay. Wow. Can't wait for them to arrive.
Also: Bought this because those books reminded of it. I read the first two in when i lived in North Carolina and never saw when this one came out, and i want to complete the series.

Woot, books.
