The Greatest Crossover Ever?

Valhallahan
Well colour me intrigued.

I picked up a copy of Infestation #1 this week on a whim. I’d seen this advertised a few months ago and knew I had to give it a go. Infestation is a crossover for all (or at least most) of indie publisher IDW’s licensed properties. Essentially it’s *insert name* versus Zombies. I know, I know, "Zombies? What is this, 2007?" I hear you cry. The Walking Dead aside, I’m as sick of zombies as the next man (unless the next man is a Necrophiliac they love that shit) but hear me out! Y’see where it gets interesting is who the licensed characters are, and IDW have quite the list of *insert name here*s.

So Roll up, roll up for

Transformers
Vs
Ghostbusters
Vs
GI JOE
Vs
Star Trek
Vs
Robots
Vs
Zombies!

Oh yeah you heard that right. Throw in Thundercats or Star Wars and that’s my childhood right there.

Aparently it crosses over with CVO (Covert Vampiric Operations) too, which is a shame because what I read of that (from bargain bin grab bags, I hasten to add) really did suck, if you'll parden the pun.

I’m going to go read this and tell you how it looks.

Be right back.
