Yes. It's a crossover of Star Trek, Ghostbusters, Transformers, and G. I. Joe. Fighting zombies.

Looks like now I have two crossovers focused on four IPs I never, ever imagined to be together to look forward to. ;)

[Ashton]

you have GOT to be kidding me...

[doodo!]

Just a ultimate generic and staged poser nerd idea...

[Secret Fawful]

Reminds me of that time I started writing a Half Life 2 - Fullmetal Alchemist crossover manga that I planned to crossover with Star Wars and Darker Than BLACK. But I think this tops that. Amazing.

Two other amazing comic crossovers > Marvel Zombies Vs. Army of Darkness and Ash Vs. Jason Vs. Freddy.

[doodo!]

Too poser for me, then again what isn't that panders to you in this way? Just to buy you out and sell and make money...

I likez ninja turtlez and tranzformerz and Starz Trekz....I'm going to buyes dis comic book with GI Joezz ins itz!

OHHH and Sombiez....

[Remolay]

I'ma side with Doodo here, still makes a strange crossover though. I'd check it out just to see how they screw it up.

Sorry to disappoint everybody, but this crossover will feature one enemy taking on four different licensed properties separately. Spock and Spengler will *not* be teaming-up, no matter how many people demand it.

Wow. This is amazing. I'm going to post about it on my website and credit you if that's cool. If it isn't cool, then I won't credit you and I'll find where you live and send you letter bombs.

Edit: Posted. (http://www.projectogc.co.uk/) Now rejoice, because literally ones of people will see your name in dazzling italics when they read that post.

You're annoyed that companies manufacture things that people will like to make money and that people fall for it. While that's partially understandable, it's mostly just arbitrarily angsty. The company who manufactures the product gets more profit and the consumer gets more of what they like - what's wrong with that?!

Really? G.I. Joe has crossed over with Transformers before. Star Trek crossed over with X-men. Transformers crossed over with Spider-Man (multiple times). Ghostbusters is the only franchise which doesn't seem to have a previous crossover, and there have been a lot fewer Ghostbusters comics than any of the other three.

Reading through the press release, it doesn't seem to actually promise any character meet-ups, so that might not happen in this series. However, if enough fans want it, I don't see why it couldn't happen in the future.

[FitzoliverJ]

Really?

Apparently not.

You've got to bear in mind that the people controlling the properties might not appreciate bizarre combinations.

I don't follow

If there is a hold-out, it would have to be Ghostbusters, as all three of the others have done cross-overs before in comics. Even then, I'd be surprised if the owners of Ghostbusters were against cross-overs, as Dan Aykroyd (one of the writers) did a cameo in the Casper movie as Ray.

I'm curious as to what threat zombies pose to a Transformer.

From the article that FitzoliverJ linked to:

"And, let's not forget, ['Zobies vs Robots'] features zombie-infected robots, too, and 'Infestation' will be no different."

I thought it was pretty funny, I'm not going to lie. I mean not the reality of it but the joke part...

So, uh, why the nerd rage?

[LuigiHann]

"zombie-infected robots" is both hilariously stupid and hilariously awesome at the same time

If robots can die, they can become zombies. I don't see what's stupid or rage inducing about that.

I'm curious, does anyone know if the zombies in "Zombies vs Robots" are supernatural or pathogenic? (or some third type I don't know about) In other words, are they the "hell is full so the dead walk the earth" type of zombies, or the "a virus mutates people into mindless, brain-craving monsters" type of zombies?

[mgrant]

Or are they the "we have no idea why they've animated, but they do kung fu" zombies like in Versus, because those kicked ass.

Or they could be the "a stupid wizard cursed us and now even Galactus can't harm us vikingzombie" variant
