Characters you would like to see featured?

Diane Carey's version of Robert April and friends. I realize "Final Frontier" and "Best Destiny" are somewhat incompatible with modern canon (especially the depiction of pre-TOS technology and George Kirk's fate), but I like to think those books, albeit in a vague, "foggy window" kind of way, still fit.

The bickering Bickleys from DC's first TNG miniseries. WITH SUPERHERO-STYLE UNIFORMS (albeit now in black with grey shoulders)

Aww yeah. April in his cardigan!

The bickering Bickleys from DC's first TNG miniseries. WITH SUPERHERO-STYLE UNIFORMS

Loved the Bickleys and their traditional half-capes! (Extrapolated from the customizations suggested in TMP: Spock's black Vulcan collar, Ilia's Deltan collar, the Amerinds' beads and feathers. And TNG's Worf's sash, of course.)

I have a theory that (like Arex and M'Ress having to be redrawn and renamed in DC Comics' TOS Series II, by request of the Star Trek Office), the TNG mini-series' Bickleys were probably renamed - and had their feisty personalities tempered somewhat - to become the married couple, James & Ingrid McRobb, in early issues of DC's TNG Ongoing comic. (After Roddenberry's death, McRobb was able to return as a guest in issues #77 & 78.)
 
Kosinksi- I loved Stanley Kamel in that role.
Darian Wallace- The most fascinating character to never have the actor receive credit for their appearances.
Guinan- Always need more Guinan.
Pel- Let's see what's happening with her now that the women have rights. She must be a billionaire after selling the material used to make her chest tie-down.
 
I love the idea of seeing Horta crew members.

I've also enjoyed seeing Pava in the books as I thought she was the best part of the Starfleet Academy comics.

How about more Morgan Bateson. You gotta love Captain Fraisure. And bring back his pet dacapus from Ship of the Line, lol.
 
I'd love to find out what happened to Odo, since we last saw him in TrekLit. Although I have a sneaky suspision he might be featured in Raise The Dawn.

Nog!! I loved reading more about him in IFM, but somehow Nog not on DS9 just doesn't make sense to me.

Seconded. I would love to see more Odo, and I would really love to see more of Nog. I really dug seeing him with the Challenger crew. In fact...i loved that whole crew. I wish they were still together...
 
I'd also like to catch up with the Galactic Commonwealth, see how they've done in the half decade or so since their founding.

Interesting theory. I'm gonna have to look back and take a good look at the McRobb's, now!
 
Tom Riker would be good to see back.

I would also love to see Sito Jaxa and Joret Dal make a come back--I have had an idea how to do this for a while, but just never sat down to write it (my belief being that her death was faked).

This pose reminded me of Patricia Bickley! Add a few freckles to Michael and you have... James.

You're 100% right! It's like the Nick Locarno/Tom Paris of Trek comics. I can't believe I never spotted it myself!
 
Or maybe it's just that Pablo Marcos was the artist for both pairs of characters and their similarities are merely a function of his design sensibilities. Admiral Rosenstrum, who showed up a bit later in the TNG comic, looked like he could've been McRobb's father. Marcos just liked designing characters with wavy hair and craggy faces. And redheads were disproportionately common in older comics due to coloring limitations.

It's always possible, of course, but the script for TOS Series II already had M'Ress in it, and Richard Arnold insisted she be removed and redrawn. (I suspect that Fouton was a hasty redraw of Arex, especially since PAD had already announced he intended to move Arex across to Security, and was planning an arc where Arex got himself into hot water by bending the rules.)

When TNG became an ongoing comic, I was already expecting to see the Bickleys, either included or hastily rewritten as new characters, so I wasn't surprised to see the McRobbs, but Richard then decreed that they could only last for the first few issues (like M'yra, Fouton and Blaise in TOS Series II).

To me, it looks like Ingrid is even wearing a similar outfit to Patricia, slightly altered to look less like a Starfleet garment. And her hand gesture doesn't quite match the (revised?) dialogue. Ingrid wasn't as scolding as the feisty Patricia.
