Star Trek / Planet of the Apes: The Primate Directive

In 2014, IDW boldly went where no crossover had gone before by merging the universes of Star Trek and Planet of the Apes in The Primate Directive. Written by David and Scott Tipton with art by Rachael Stott, this five-issue miniseries pits the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise against the militaristic ape society of a distant world, exploring themes of prejudice and survival. A clever, action-packed mashup that respects both franchises, it stands as a highlight of IDW's ambitious crossover era.
