Read Seven Pages of ‘Star Trek/Legion of Super-Heroes’ [Preview]

On sale now from IDW Publishing and DC Comics is the first issue of the oh-so-perfect yet never-in-a-million-years-expected crossover between the Legion of Super-Heroes and the original, classic era crew of Star Trek's U.S.S. Enterprise. Written by Chris Roberson (iZombie, Superman, Cinderella) and illustrated by Legion alumni Jeffrey Moy with covers by Keith Giffen and Phil Jimenez (both also of Legion fame) and Gabriel Rodriguez, the six-issue miniseries finds the DC heroes of the 30th century and the intrepid Enterprise crew trapped in the grim "mirror universe" version of the 23rd century.

Check out a seven-page preview after the cut.Roberson elaborated on the plot of Star Trek/Legion of Super-Heroes when he spoke with ComicsAlliance in August.

The story begins with the USS Enterprise returning to Earth late in their original five year mission, so Kirk can give the commencement address at Starfleet Academy. But when he and his bridge crew beam down to San Francisco. They find themselves materializing on an unfamiliar Earth. Nothing is as it should be.

Meanwhile, a group of Legionnaires are returning to their own era in a time bubble after a mission to the past, but an eddy in the time stream forces then to crash-land on 26th century Earth. But while it IS Earth, it isn't the 26th that their history records. Both teams quickly learn that something has changed history, preventing their own histories from ever coming into existence. And unless they find out what changed and work out a way to fix it, the worlds they knew will never have existed.
