Comic book crossovers. They happen all the time. Fans love ’em.<\/p>\n
Why not for Star Trek<\/i>? We’ve had two–the two X-Men<\/i> crossovers by Marvel in the mid-90s. But what of other possibilities?<\/p>\n
I’ve wanted to read a Trek<\/i>\/Legion of Super-Heroes<\/i> comic crossover since the Giffen\/Bierbaum era of the Legion, which would put us somewhere around 1989. It would have to have the Time Trapper, Darkseid, Waverider, the 29th-century Timefleet, the two Dominions, and Mon-El. Total absolute fanwank, but I’d eat that like ice cream.<\/p>\n
The Voyager<\/b> comic crossover I hoped for would have been Voyager<\/i> versus Galactus. In the far reaches of the Delta Quadrant the Voyager<\/i> detects the faint distress signal of a distant Talaxian colony, under attack by Borg forces. Janeway wants to investigate, even though the message came by radio, and Tuvok places the signal’s origin at a world light-years away, meaning that Voyager<\/i> would be years too late to do anything, yet Janeway persists in her decision to investigate. When Voyager<\/i> arrives, they find a world totally Borgified. Neelix thinks that his people can be saved, Janeway thinks it is now too late, and then the 24th-century Herald of Galactus arrives and announces that this Borg world is to be Galactus’ next meal. (I’m not up on my Guardians of the Galaxy<\/i> continuity, so I have no frelling idea who Galactus’ herald would be at this point in Marvel Universe history. Where’s Kurt Busiek when you need him?) Suddenly Janeway finds herself between the Borg and Galactus, and it’s not going to be pretty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
