American brothers who have written Star Trek comics for IDW since 2007, including Klingons: Blood Will Tell, the Mirror Broken saga and the crossover with Doctor Who.
Scott and David Tipton were among the first writers on IDW's Star Trek licence. Klingons: Blood Will Tell (2007) retold Original Series episodes from the Klingon point of view, and Intelligence Gathering followed for The Next Generation.
They wrote most of Assimilation Squared, the 2012 crossover in which the Enterprise-D crew meet the Eleventh Doctor and face an alliance of Borg and Cybermen, and adapted Harlan Ellison's original teleplay of The City on the Edge of Forever as a comic.
From 2017 they developed a mirror universe version of the Next Generation crew in Mirror Broken, Through the Mirror, Terra Incognita and The Mirror War. They also wrote The Q Conflict, which gathers four crews in a contest.
