Star Trek / X-Men: 2nd Contact

In this 1998 one-shot from Marvel, Dan Abnett and Ian Edginton script a crossover where the crew of the USS Enterprise and Professor Xavier’s mutants find their realities overlapping. Cary Nord’s artwork brings together the hopeful exploration of Star Trek and the mutant metaphor of the X-Men for a single, self-contained team-up. It’s a neat, era-specific meeting of two iconic franchises at the height of their 1990s popularity.
