More About the Author

Currently based in Sydney, Australia we started our careers in animation. While still in High School Joe began by working at Yoram Gross/Forest Interactive while Rob was working at Walt Disney Animation Australia. We re-united together at Walt Disney AA where we continued working for three more years as animators, lay-out artists and designers on projects such as Aladdin 2 and 3, The Lion King 2, The Goofy Movie and Gargoyles. Gaining invaluable experience working in the large studio environment.

Comics?
When we formed Sharp Brothers Studio we primarily focused our energies on producing comic books and illustrations for the international market on such titles as Games Workshop's Warhammer, Warhammer 40 000, Big Bang for Image Comics and Dungeons and Dragons Campaign books.

Wrestling?
Concurrently this lead us to the world of pro-wrestling where we helped write and design the WCW/WWF wrestler the Ultimate Warrior's comeback in 1998. We worked closely with him helping write dialogue and storylines for the popular Monday Night Nitro show. Meanwhile we also produced Flash animation for a variety of sites. Our short The Odyssey placed first in the Best Animated Commercial category at the World Internet Animation Competition hosted by Shockwave.com.

Toys?
Driving for more opportunities outside of illustration and comic books we have been the designers for local toy company Peter Fish Toys for over 5 years, where we helped launch and brand the hugely successful "Catch-A-Bubble" across the globe. We have also worked with Hyperchild designing and providing turnaround artwork for their Hong Kong based line of manga inspired Marvel action figures - Marvel Saga.

Games?
In the field of video games we have done character and concept design for Evolution Games PC projects, Iridon X-Box and PC games and also a number of designs and promotional artwork for Legendo's upcoming "Nintendo WiiWare" titles amongst many others.

Advertising?
We are also known for producing artwork, visuals and animatics for various advertising agencies here in Australia working on campaigns ranging from international beers to womens underwear.

Looking forward to the 2nd volume. Daniel  |  5 reviewers made a similar statement
The whole thing felt a little bit too much like fan fiction, and not even well made fan fiction. Kris Ryan Stallard  |  2 reviewers made a similar statement
There is also a nice gallery of artwork at the end that I think most fans will enjoy. Gail P. Sherman  |  6 reviewers made a similar statement

4.0 out of 5 stars Critical fact missing from description October 4, 2012
By PecoKid
Format:Paperback
The description of this product is missing a critical piece of information. It needs to state that this is a reprint of issues one through four of an eight part series. I assumed this before purchasing, so no problem for me but others may need this information.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Start! October 1, 2012
Format:Paperback
The Federation Planet Delta IV is attacked by the Borg and a new race called the Cybermen.

In the past, The Doctor, Amy and her husband Rory are in Egypt to catch an alien criminal. Then, they hop back into the TARDIS where they encounter a weird disturbance that sends them to San Francisco in the 1940s. Or are they somewhere else, like a holoprogram on the U.S.S. Enterprise.

Commander William Riker, Data, and Doctor Beverly Crusher are surprised by the Doctor and his companions' sudden arrival, and they are even more surprised when they learn the visitors are not holograms. Commander Riker orders Worf and a security team to take them to Captain Picard.

The Enterprise receives a distress call from Delta IV. When the ship arrives there, both Picard and the Doctor are shocked to see an armada of Borg and Cybermen ships. Outnumbered, the Enterprise retreats to a nearby nebula. The Doctor informs the Captain and the crew of everything he knows of the Cybermen. Data then checks the Enterprise database and finds that the original U.S.S. Enterprise had encountered the Cybermen before, along with a mysterious scarf wearing man named The Doctor.

NetGalley and IDW Publishing have kindly let me review the first three issues of the Star Trek: The Next Generation / Doctor Who crossover series. There's not much going in the first issue, except for setting up how the Doctor and his companions got aboard the Enterprise. Issue two has a short encounter with the Borg/Cybermen and issue three tells the back-story of Captain Kirk and crew's encounter with the Cybermen and the fourth Doctor. I'm a fan of both franchises, so I was eager to read these issues. The series shows a lot of promise and I'm sure most fans will be satisfied with it.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Fun Crossover March 8, 2013
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The idea of a crossover between Star Trek and Dr. Who is just whacky enough that I had to try it, and the Borg/Cybermen alliance makes just enough sense to make you go, "Huh, okay, yeah," and prevent the whole thing from falling apart into farce. The Doctor is very much himself -- good writing there -- and his chaotic way of bouncing around to attack a situation from all sides at once contrasts entertainingly with Starfleet's more orderly, military-ish tone.

The art is uneven -- at times the character likenesses are excellent and at other times I did a bit of a double-take when I saw how a face was drawn and realized who it was supposed to be. I did like the way the flashback was handled, though, with the scenes from Kirk/Four's time rendered in a more cartoony style that reminded me a bit of the old Star Trek animated series. (Although better drawn than that. Which wouldn't be difficult.) The contrast with the more painterly style of the present day (Picard/Ten) scenes in the story made it immediately clear what was going on and when, so props to the artists for that.

As a graphic novel, this isn't exactly up there with God Loves, Man Kills, or The Killing Joke, but it was a fun read and I enjoyed it enough to order the next volume.

Star Trek, Dr. Who: Assimilation 2
It's not as if it is an actual legitimate addition to either canon. It's just a fun crossover event.
