Star Trek/Planet of the Apes: The Primate Directive

IDW Comics, the publishers of the  Star Trek and Doctor Who crossover as well as this comic crossover story, Star Trek/Planet of the Apes: The Primate Directive, is my absolute favorite out of the other companies I've read so far because they own the rights to so many well known movie and tv properties and do a lot of crossover between them. This Star Trek and Planet of the Apes crossover is another fun and well written story they've been able to make. It sees the crew of the original series pursuing Klingons into another universe who are aiding the dictatorial advanced apes of the original 1968 movie into attacking the remaining humans who are freed from the apes's wrath, all while the Enterprise crew gets help from Charlton Heston's character George Taylor. With great artwork and really fun moments, there are times that the comic references or even helps explain certain moments in the original Apes movies, though since I haven't seen any of the movies and only read about them can hinder some of the material at times. Over all: 98%
Top list so far:
1. Crisis on Infinite Earths
2. Star Trek/Planet of the Apes: The Primate Directive
3. Star Trek: The Next Generation/Doctor Who: Assimilation2
4. Civil War
