Massive Star Trek comic crossover
- Thread starter John200
- Start date
There have been a couple of series crossovers in the comics, but they didn't sell any better.
DC did a storyline called "Convergence" that was a sequel to "Time's Arrow" that had movie-era Kirk and crew working together with late-TNG Picard and crew. (And Spock, Data, and Harriman all met.)
DC and Malibu did a four-part TNG/DS9 crossover miniseries. Malibu had a couple of sneaky crossovers; Lightstorm was a prequel to Star Trek Generations and the Maquis miniseries tied in with "Caretaker."
Marvel had their own crossover event, "The Telepathy War," in which the Dominion tried to conquer the Alpha Quadrant, and it had tie-ins with TNG, DS9, and Voyager. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great, and at the time it had the major problem of the individual chapters shipping out of order.
A crossover with a comic book property, though, would be fun.
I've long wanted to see an Enterprise find Apokalips or Thanagar. Or Voyager encounter Galactus in the Delta Quadrant. (And who was the herald of Galactus in the 24th-century?) And I've long wondered what DC's Star Trek/Superman crossover would have been like. (Note to self: Ask Bob and Mike at Shore Leave this year, and see if I can jog their memories.)

^And there was also the Wildstorm TNG/DS9 crossover Divided We Fall, co-written by our own David Mack, and tying into the DS9 relaunch novels.
A Trek/Green Lantern Corps crossover could work. For me, anyway.
I wonder if in a film or two's time Shatner's Kirk and crew will pop out a time vortex and bump into Pine's Kirk and crew, either in comic or novel form (or both)
Crossovers are cool when done right, but I think having every Trek crew all at once might be a bit much.
In the event it ever does happen, I demand a scene where a time vortex opens, Bearclaw comes storming though and beats the living hell out of Chakotay for boring us all to death for all these years.

Star Trek/JLA.
That would pose problems in a comic. In-universe, the characters still look the same, regardless of how they look to the filmgoing audience; Spock Prime recognized Kirk and Scotty on sight. So dealing with the likeness question would be tricky.
^I think readers would be willing to suspend disbelief on that one.
I guess you could have them cross over from slightly different time periods: Pine's crew from 2258 and Shat's from 2269, thus maybe justifying them looking a little different.
It'd be worth it for Scotty Prime getting all defensive over his Enterprise being smaller then the new one (and only having one warp core), and the reactions of Spock and Uhura Prime upon learning of their counterparts' relationship.

Check out the trailer for Bring Back Kirk It's not a comic, but it's certainly comical.
Strictly speaking, we don't know how many "warp cores" the TOS Enterprise might have, since the term "warp core" was never used until TNG. (The engine core seen in TMP and TWOK was called an "intermix chamber.") Although Doug Drexler's Constitution-Class cutaway created for "In a Mirror, Darkly" does postulate a TMP-style warp core beneath the deck of the TOS engine room.
A crossover with a comic book property, though, would be fun.
Don't forget, there were the two Star Trek/X-Men crossovers (plus one book).
I can think of three crossovers I could tolerate if they were done well.
As for multi-Trek series crossovers, we've had plenty of those.
Christopher Pike meeting JJ Adams.
Some kind of Solar Guard Space Academy/TOS or pre-TOS Starfleet Academy crossover story.
A big fanwank story in which some Trek characters, encountering a certain Time Lord, find themselves in a timeline with a very different and oppressive Federation, in a galaxy with very few aliens, and certainly none of the ones we're familiar with from Star Trek. Might work better with Sisko, Kira, and a couple of other DS9 characters in a runabout rather than, say, Picard's Enterprise, which could do a lot more to change the balance of power.

Back when DC had the rights to Star Trek I always dreamed about a Superman/Star Trek crossover. Superman would get thrown through time and space to end up in the 23rd century in a system with a red sun. The Enterprise crew would bring him aboard and not believe his story of having super powers until they got in range of a yellow sun.
Ahhh ... the dreams of youth!

You know, now I want to write a story just to fit with a title like Fanwank Explosion.
Go for it. I'll sign a waiver.
On the commute home tonight, I've come up with a plot that fits that title.

This should've been called Fanwank Explosion:

I will tell you know it's the BRING BACK KIRK video.
I don't want anyone wasting even 3 seconds clicking on that if they've already been through it once.

Thanks for sharing, for those of us who haven't already been through it. That was entertaining/amusing in its ambitiousness if nothing else. Say what you will about the quality, or the motives behind it, but you can at least tell that someone put a lot of effort into it. (Maybe too much, I'll grant you, but everybody has to have a hobby, right?)
