I Have ready the 1st and 2nd issuse of this , and i have been loving it , but i knew i would i loved the mirror univerese and mryiad universe books, and in way these what if stuff its almost more interesting then the regular universe , well as short stories anyway, as they can show the characters in different light , kinda reminds me of what picard was saying in nemisis about if he had grown in reman he would have been as bad as his clone.

i mean there not all great , some of these what if , try to include every character too hard , or are almost hard to belive lol , like alot of people i dont think the klingons would have won a war against the federation , but then you never know , maybe they wanted it more . anyway looking forward to more last generation comics ( i loved the ending in the first one )

The biggest danger with ‘What if . . .’ scenarios is that they’re often more interesting than the regular universe!

19 – true but I like these ‘What ifs’…their exicting! – this one is abit like Yesterdays Enterprise…i think they should do even more : e.g. What if Picard had encountered Khan and the botany bay drifting in space in the 24th century instead of Kirk….(im picturing something similar to Space Seed and WoK but played out with the TNG crew….not exactly the same..but along the same lines)

Or what if Kirk and Co had gone up against the Borg in the 23rd century…

all that stuff sounds good to me

I think the biggest problem with this timeline is that it seems improbable the Klingons could have conquered Earth and the Federation given the condition they were in following the explosion on Praxis. More likely, it would have turned out hte other way, with a short war between the Federation and the Klingons, the Klingons losing horribly, and their empire crumbling into fighting sub-states, some of which may have joined the Federation.

The Klingons were, in spite of Chang’s delusions otherwise, in no position to fight a war.

#13: I’ve only heard that the WoK adaptation is coming. I’ve heard no more information about it to date. Hopefully the IDW preview and interview in a week or two will expand our knowledge on that front. :)

#15: “Our” Enterprise was taken into an alternate universe. At the end of the storyline, it jumped back to the “real” universe. It’s collected in the new “Best of the Borg” collection from IDW’s “Star Trek Archives” line.

Picard looks like a clown in that artwork above…the eyebrows are WAY too dark…

btw talking ‘what if’ comics – i seem to recall the DC TNG series did something similar to this new TLG series for a few issues…something along the lines of if the Ent D had failed to stop the Borg attack in BOBW and were living as a rag tag fleet on the run…i may have to look that up actually…dont suppose they are avaiable as a TB anywhere?

OT but everyone remember this that someone posted a while back?

Nice art work here – they should do a graphic novel – I mean they’ve done Alien vs…just about everything in comics (Predator, Terminator, Superman, Batman etc etc etc)

12 – Thanks for the info – I cant believe there is finally gonna be a WoK adaptation…this is the first Ive heard of it anywhere….for years i waited in the hope that DC might get around to completing the (original) movie adaptation set…Maybe WoKs enduring popularity plus the success of the action figures etc has something to do with it?

maybe they could even go one step further and adapt certain scenes not seen in the actual film – e.g. a brief prologue about Khans life on Ceti Alpha before the Star Trek II events (a condensed version of Greg Coxs To Reign in Hell novel)…the killings of the Regular staff …and maybe other stuff told in the novel tie in…

With TLG, Countdown and WoK – This new year is gonna be the first year in over a decade that I have bought a ST comic…think the last one I bought was the Ashes of Eden adaptation..or maybe the Marvel First Contact (I used to be a regular Trek comic collector but tuned out shortly after Trek VI)

oh and im diggin the Trek VI inspired artwork of TLG #5….this TLG sounds like a great (unoffical) tie in with the new film
