Subject: [Marvel Comics] Star Trek/X-Men

01	Dec 96	Star TreX
The X-Men meet the crew of the Enterprise as Marvel celebrates
its 35th anniversary and Paramount celebrates "30 Years of Star
Trek". Investigating a spatial rift near Delta Vega, the planet
where Dr. Elizabeth Dehner and Lt. Cmdr. Gary Mitchell mutated
and died ("Where no man has gone before" [TOS]), the Enterprise
encounters a ship in distress. Before exploding, seven life
forms are detected and another ship comes through the rift. A
being named Gladiator leaves the second ship and claims Delta
Vega in the name of the Shi'ar Empire, punching Scotty's shields
for emphasis. Meanwhile, the seven life forms have teleported to
a cargo hold in the Enterprise - Cyclops, Phoenix, The Beast,
Wolverine, Storm, Gambit, and Bishop. With the crew of the
Enterprise, the X-Men must face Deathbird and Proteus, who has
bonded with the essence of the long dead Gary Mitchell and a
potentially inexhaustible supply of psionic energy. Also
includes a Star Trek/X-Men pin-up gallery and a preview of
Marvel's Paramount Comics Star Trek titles by Polly Watson.
Double-sized issue.
