I'd love another "Myriad Universe" story (the blanket "what if..." title for everything Trek).

Maybe "what if First Contact was actually the end of the Borg, how would this affect Voyager's journey home?"

After all, no Borg, no Seven of Nine. No Seven, no Astrometrics lab. No Astrometrics lab, no contact with the Prometheus. Also, there'd be no Transwarp corridor (or at least, noone to tell them about the Transwarp Corridor).

another Myriad Universe would be cool, also with the third anthology out (the Andorian-themed story is defenitely the best!)

Maybe a short one concerning the fact that First Contact didn't happen or the Borg succeeded in assimilating Earth then....

Also it would be cool to see a miniseries about Earth just after the Vulcans made First Contact.... I envsison some kind to Mad Max meets ST here... would be cool

But my first choice would be some Reboot Universe Comics maybe with a Crossover of Reboot TOS and Prime TOS or - even better - give us some Reboot Mirror Universe and STO-Comics!!!! Very Happy

Glad to hear that this is not the end.

Not interested in the Abramsverse so I'm doubly glad to hear explicit confirmation that there will be prime universe books in the future.

Personally, I'm really looking forward to more New Universe comics, I loved Countdown (as well as the movie itself), and it's pretty open for new areas to explore Smile

I'd like to see IDW have the 2009 era Trek crew face off against Q. Come to think of it, a one shot or limited series set in the Enterprise era where Capt. Archer faces Q would be nice. Since Q's a Cosmic Entity, he can appear in any Trek title or TV show. A missed chance was to have him show up in a Next Generation era film.
Q appearing on Enterprise would work. Remember in Encounter at Farpoint, he warned Capt. Picard that the human race has advanced too far in the Milky Way already. IDW can have a tale where Capt. Archer makes a case with Q to give humanity a chance to explore the Galaxy whereby Q gives Starfleet a grace period of 300 years and warns he will review human history.

Also, one thing Deep Space Nine never did (but should) was to have the DS( crew face a Borg cube. Given Sisko's own encounter with the Borg at Wolf 359, this would make a good mini series and a chance to really put the USS Defiant II (formerly the USS Sao Paulo) through its paces.

Unfortunately, a couple of continuity problems with some of your suggestions:

1) Enterprise -> TNG is ~200 years.
2) The Sao Paulo was renamed the Defiant in the last episode of DS9, and by the end of the episode, the war was over, the crew split up, and Sisko... well... gone.

That and Sisko had grown well past the spectre of the Borg by the end of the series.

They need to bring in some of the trek novel writers. The newer trek comics have had minimal/poor story. Khan had good art but little to read. The captain's log ones all seemed to have the same type of plot, just different protagonist and antagonist. IDW started strong with trek titles but has been lacking in creativity recently. If they want to encourage sales, they should improve their writing.

Why not just have the ST09 crew encounter Trelane? Same concept but more in line with TOS.

I would like to see TOS encounter the borg just because he is the only captain we've never seen face them. Would be nice to know how he would deal with them. We saw Sisko fight them in Typhon Pact 3. Since Guinan's home was destroyed by the Borg pre Generations, they could have Kirk and the A be involved in the incident just before the happenings of STVI.

I think there are much beter characters than Trelane to use in a story with the ST09 crew. A lot more better characters than Trelane. Trelane was a child, with great powers, yes, but a child.
Not a big villain, if you ask me. Cool

ps :

I would like some more reprints of older ST comics, in IDW omnibusses. Wink

I'm thinking : Marvel Star Trek Unlimited, DC ST:TNG and TOS Movie Era. But, I'm sorry to say, the Archives Series wasn't very well printed. Confused

Any plans, IDW, for more reprints ?
Or did they sell that bad ?
