IDW TNG/DS9 crossover in 2019?

[Kertrats47]

I managed to snag an interview with J.K. Woodward this past weekend at the Edmonton Comic and Entertainment Expo. He wasn't able to provide any big clues about the project coming up, but he did talk a tiny bit about it! It looks like we'll get the announcement at the New York Comic Con.

It was a pretty good interview, we talked about Harlan Ellison, Mirror Broken, the aborted TNG/Aliens crossover, and a few other things. Here it is if you're interested:

Nice interview it's intersting to hear how long an artisits takes to do the Mirror universe comics.

I didn't realize that J.K. Woodward looked like Guy Garvey of Elbow.

Painting is a longer process. For some artists, it can take a day or a day and a half to pencil a single page. Woodward pencils his page, and then he paints on top of that, which is why IDW brought Gordon Purcell in to do the pencils on the Doctor Who crossover so that Woodward could focus on the painting.

I'm not gonna lie, I was surprised to learn how much work J. K. Woodward puts into something that sometimes (though, admittedly not always) just looks like someone put a Photoshop filter over some publicity photos.

It's not quite a post-Nemesis TNG/DS9/VOY crossover but something a bit cooler I wanted for the anniversary a couple of years back

Sigh. More Q. Couldn't they come up with something original?

Sounds like it should be fun, I'm always up more Q and he's the perfect way to bring all of these characters together. It will be interesting to see where everybody is in their timelines.

 

[Reanok]

Interesting news about a Q miniseries sounds intriguing.

 

[Christopher]

I'm always up more Q and he's the perfect way to bring all of these characters together.

I'd call it rather the most obvious way to do it, especially since it's been done before already, in that Marvel Star Trek Unlimited issue where Q and Trelane switched Picard and Kirk around on a bet. And Q turned out to be behind the Trek/Legion of Super Heroes crossover too, didn't he?

 

[Turtletrekker]

Q also had a hand in the events of Michael Jan Friedman's Star Trek/ X-Men crossover novel.

 

[Christopher]

At this rate, it's only a matter of time before we get Q vs. Mr. Mxyzptlk.

Hey, if Picard could trick Q into saying his name backward, do you think it'd... hmm... never mind.

 

[The Wormhole]

Sigh. More Q. Couldn't they come up with something original?

To be fair, Q doesn't get used that often in tie-in material.

But yeah, a the moment this doesn't enthrall me too much. It's basically just unfettered fanwank gone wild. I think the one-shot with Picard and Jack Crusher on the Stargazer announced yesterday is grabbing me more.

Overall, perhaps not, but comics have a recurring tendency to use him as an easy excuse for a crossover. Like I said, it's pretty much the most obvious route to take, and it's no longer a novel approach at this point.

IIRC, the last time the comics did that was The Q Gambit storyline in the Kelvin Timeline comics back in 2014.

Yeah, only 4 years ago. Between that, the LSH thing, the Marvel Unlimited issue, and the Trek/X-Men novel Turtletrekker mentioned, it's a pretty familiar trope by now.

It's the Tiptons. Fanwank is what they do.

 

[Danlav05]

I guess the next wave of post-Nemesis comics will all be tie ins to the Picard Show.

Funnily enough the Waypoint one shot will have a a story set to cover “the entire length of Trek history."

I didn't realize Q had been used for so many crossovers, that is annoyingly repetitive.
