Man, is it ever disquieting to see any version of Picard giving that salute...
EDIT: Good that he looks like Shinzon, though.
Fictitiously yours, Trent Roman

Greg Cox's entry had MU Picard. He was an Indiana Jones-esque 'freelance archaeologist' (if not to say tomb robber) initially the employ of a Cardassian patron. I thought it was a particularly nice touch for Greg to present a law-and-order type like Picard as being the morally compromised character in a universe where the 'bad guys' rule where a roguish character like Vash (also in the story) is more straighforwardly heroic.

I'm a little confused... I've heard it suggested that Mirror Images is compatible with the current Pocket MU continuity, but The Sorrows of Empire had the Terran Empire dissolved in 2293 and conquered two years later. Picard wasn't even born until 2305. So is this in a different continuity, or is the idea that some vestige of the Empire continued to exist and fight on for some 30-odd years after the main Empire ceased to exist? There's certainly precedent; the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire thrived for a millennium after the fall of Rome.
Unless picard was born sooner and lives longer in this continuity.
dude looks more like Tom Hardy than a Young Pat Stewart...
In the TNG episode Parrallels, we saw that there werre at least 285,000 different continuities/realities in the ST universe (multiverse?).
Surely there is more than one variation of the MU in that batch. So all the different variations we've seen in the comics, novels, and series can be valid.
Everyone is happy, right?
Sorry, I really should have put some sort of sarcasm indicator on that.
You missed my point. Obviously there are multiple different Mirror Universe continuities already extant in Trek Literature. My point is that I'd heard that the Mirror Images miniseries would be consistent with the specific Mirror Universe continuity seen in Glass Empires, Obsidian Alliances, Shards and Shadows, and the DS9 Relaunch. And the description of this story doesn't seem compatible with that continuity.
Hey, who stole my username for this book?

Hey you should get the photoshop boys in general to superimpose your head shot onto Picard's body.
maybe someone got the year wrong of the fall of the terran empire when writing glass empires
since that predates this comic, no they didn't.
Did we see a mirror Picard in Stargazer: Three? Actually, would that book "fit" with the current MU stuff? It's been so long since I've read it and I don't quite recall.
IIRC, no and no. In fact, I have the impression that the book itself suggested that the characters who crossed over were from a Mirror Universe that might not have been the exact same MU we'd seen in the shows.
I would imagine that to be very much the case.
As memory would have it, I think you're mistaken, but it's actually not your fault. Originally, there was to be a second "Mirror Images" series set in the TNG era to immediately follow the TOS one. Though it wasn't exactly intended to have the comprehensive consistency that you're talking about, I believe that's what you're actually thinking of when you say that the TNG story was supposed to follow the books.
