Seriously...
IDW has an Infestation in January

A first in comic book history, IDW Publishing is proud to announce INFESTATION! Starting in January 2011, INFESTATION will infect STAR TREK, GHOSTBUSTERS, TRANFORMERS and G.I. JOE comics with zombies, zombies, and more zombies. To help create this multi-dimensional saga, IDW is teaming up with fan-favorite writers Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning (The Thanos Imperative, Legion of Super-Heroes) and artist David Messina (TRUE BLOOD).

“This is definitely one of those ‘there’s no way they’ll ever do this’ kind of events,” said IDW’s Chief Creative Officer Chris Ryall. “But not only are we doing something fans never thought they’d see, we’re doing it in a way that should confound and exceed their expectations. And doing it with real pros like Abnett and Lanning just makes it that much sweeter, especially knowing what they’ve got planned as a follow-up to this event.”

Setting the stage for this massive event, Abnett and Lanning will pen INFESTATION #1, launching in January 2011. This initial 32-page story begins in IDW’s own ZOMBIES VS. ROBOTS universe, where something goes terribly wrong and ultimately infests the worlds of TRANSFORMERS, STAR TREK, G.I. JOE, and GHOSTBUSTERS with zombies and infected robots. From there, the story spins ferociously into each of the four properties throughout February and March, and culminates in April’s bombastic finale, INFESTATION #2.

Hmm...

GI Joe: They enough firepower to make any confrontation with Zombies epic. This should work.

Star Trek: Don't they already have an Undead analog in The Borg? Adding normal zombies seems redundant when they already have a foe with all of their qualities.

Transformers: Unless we're talking Undead giant robots, I don't see this working.

Ghostbusters: This could work, but only if they play up the comedy and downplay the horror.

I'm so sick of zombies, can't we just have a regular crossover event? Transformers, Ghostbusters, Star Trek, and G.I. Joe all winding up in the same universe not epic enough already?

Transformers and GI Joe have done at least one cross over that i can remember. It was actually pretty cool.

Found a longer article on the comics

"And, let's not forget, ['Zombies vs Robots'] features zombie-infected robots, too, and 'Infestation' will be no different."

There's also bad news, "Other than the direct threat of zombie infestation itself, there will not be any crossover between the licensed titles," Boo!
