Well like I said, if it's the Zombie's of "Zombies -vs- Robots" then there's nothing special about them. They weren't dead-come-back-to-life-as-zombies heroes or villians, in fact most of the ZvR stories revolved around the remaining humans and how they utilised robots to fight the zombies.

It'll definitely be interesting to see how they do go about it.

I'd love to see the contracts for this, not to mention the crazy legalese for having 3 different major companies (Hasbro, Warner Brothers, and Sony pictures) involved in one comic crossover.

Star Trek is a Paramount property.

The whole "Transformers and Zombies" concept reminds me a lot of the "City of Fear" story-arc from Marvel UK...Having just re-released this story-arc as a TPB within the past couple of years, isn't such a zombie-cross-over event involving TFs a little redundant?

Also: Why are they issuing commemorative patches? Why not posters?

Zombies. Zombies. *Sigh*

I have... never liked zombie stories, maybe barring Blackest Night. But that's only because the zombies were a credible threat there. Otherwise... no.

So this is beyond pass for me. The idea of the crossover is awesome. The tying together... is not.

Seriously, zombies?

Transformers, G.I Joe, Star Trek, and Ghostbusters all in one crossover series? This could be either one of the most epic ideas IDW's ever done, or possibly one that will bring them down in bits and ashes.... OK, the last one was a little exaggerated, but it sounds epic. Can't wait to see more of the Transformer bits.

I thought the same thing at first but then after thinking about it ... it's a first in several ways. Four (count 'em!) MAJOR Hollywood blockbuster licenses are coming together in a crazy other-worlds crossover series. THAT is what's a first for the comics industry. This isn't Star Trek versus Ghostbusters. This isn't GiJoe versus Star Trek (though that sounds really cool). This is Transformers, Star Trek, GiJoe, and Ghostbusters all rolled up into one crazy Zombieland story and how each property deals with some crazy insane crisis like this.

If that's what they're trying to do, sounds to me like this is something akin to what Dark Horse did two years ago with the Vector storyline.

It appears opinions have changed somewhat.

Unfortunately that topic did not give details as this one does, it is more speculation.
Opinions may have changed because there is a lot of zombie fans out there.

On a related crossover note, I learned about USA Network's animated crossover with Street Fighter, Savage Dragon, Mortal Kombat, and Wing Commander.

This is quite a surreal article reading it at 1230am and bombed out of my head tired. I'm half wondering I'll wake up in the morning to discover it was an odd dream or something. It's just too weird.

Am I the only one who can't see why some human-sized zombies can affect building-high transformers? Just step on them, for Primus's sake!

Still, I share the opinion of this will be an epic story - epic downfall or epic success, we will see.

Also, it stinks of a future "Marvel Zombies vs. Infestation vs. Blackest Night Returns" crossover...

If that's what they're trying to do, sounds to me like this is something akin to what Dark Horse did two years ago with the Vector storyline.

I thought that was the weakest story with the biggest Mary Sue ever...
