We must reverse the polarization of the neutron beam to create a tetryon field that will cancel out the anti-monitor's RNA signature, Captain! Or some other damn thing. That is so TNG. |

That pesky Prime Directive, non-intervention rule. Plus, Kirk was busy shagging his latest yeoman. I'm sure the Next Gen crew just did something with the main deflector array, as usual. We must reverse the polarization of the neutron beam to create a tetryon field that will cancel out the anti-monitor's RNA signature, Captain! Or some other damn thing. That sounds more like Dr Who...reverse the polarity of the neutron flow........ |

Incidentally, in the most flippant and not-exactly-serious way I can put this, where on Earth were Kirk and others when the Anti-Monitor was causing havoc during Crisis? I mean, the Anti-Monitor was threatening all universes, right?  I think that question was actually raised in the letters page of DC comics back in the day... Darned if I can remember the explanation, though. My fannish response would be something like "oh, we just didn't see what happened in the Trek universe for lack of space". Inertial Dampners fix everything. |

Anti-Monitor menaces the variance universes hundreds of years in Trek's past... whatever happened had nothing to do with any of them... that worlds superheroes all sacrificed themselves to stop him, which lead the way for us normal humans to focus more on science. |

Would they have much time to focus on that? The classic series and its movie spin-offs dealt with quite a number of extinction-level threats (some arguably on the level of the Anti-Monitor), so many that day-to-day scientific research would take a back seat. Starfleet might end up in the same position as the DC heroes. |

For me, it's DC by far.
I love their first volume even if it's heavily tied in with the films at that time. The Mirror Universe saga which ran from #9-16 remains one of the best Mirror Universe stories IMHO to this very day. I loved Sutton & Villagran's art, the way they set up panel shots depicting characters on the bridge.
I mostly enjoy reading TOS comics. While they did cover some of the TOS 5 year mission setting, I really liked that DC's runs stayed within the TOS film/red navy jacket period which has long been a favorite era for me. Oddly enough, I've never been all that engaged with DC's TNG comics. I've never read any DS9 nor Voyager comics from any publisher.

I'm going to go with the IDW run, I especially loved the series that attempted to retell classic trek stories in the Kelvin Universe.

You're correct, the best mirror universe tale ever. I tried to get into the IDW Next Gen Mirror Universe "saga", but it was really just meh. The DC Mike W. Barr/Sutton/Villagren series really captured the subtle nuances of the "movie era" ST. |
