I'd like to see a real comic of Saxton Hale based on those fake comic covers.
Also, a comic based on the story from the music by The Protomen.
I want to read the alternate universe comics from the other universe in Fringe. Those comics include The Death of Batman and The Man of Steel Returns and a version of Crisis where Superman dies and Supergirl lives.

Spider-Man and Deadpool go to Hell: the story of how One More Day was undone.
Respect the Red Right Hand
After Dreamwave collapsed, IDW picked up the Transformers license. Simon Furman gave them this double pitch:
In the (Armada/Energon) Cybertron timeline… …UNICRON IS DESTROYED, utterly wiped out of existence by a seismic shock warhead detonated deep within its superstructure (events which would be visited retroactively in any subsequent ‘Energon’ conclusion issues).
But as one threat to Cybertron ends, another has only just begun. A rift in time and space – a massive ‘chronal’ black hole formed by the annihilation of Unicron – is threatening to suck Cybertron in, tear it apart in an internal maelstrom of deconstructed space and time. Only by anchoring the planet, via a spacebridge, to Earth’s energon core can Cybertron maintain its tenuous position, but it’s at best a quick fix. To seal the rift, they need the power of PRIMUS, the progenitor of the entire TRANSFORMERS race. But while a fragment of the dormant Primus lifeforce exists within Cybertron, the rest is lost, scattered throughout the universe, buried deep within strange, alien worlds.
Roused (from eons of chronal stasis in a dimension outside of normal space and time) by the impending cataclysm, the immortal sentinel known as Vector Prime spearheads the search for the Primus lifeforce, guiding Optimus Prime and his Autobots on a quest that will take them to aliens worlds in the farthest corners of the galaxy and beyond. But where Prime and the Autobots go… Megatron and the Decepticons are never far behind.
Clad in the armor of Unicron, fuelled by a fragment of his Spark, Megatron has become a true agent of chaos. He’s prepared to sacrifice Cybertron, Earth and any other world in order to contain and absorb the lifeforce of Primus himself, his ultimate aim to transform himself… into a living god! And the ‘Cybertron’ timeline is not the only one to feel the effects of the destruction of Unicron. In fact… it’s one of the lucky ones.
<<In all the disparate timelines, all the myriad dimensions, there is but one Unicron. Though physical presence is limited to a single reality at any given time, it exists simultaneously in countless dimensions, shadows of its vast, ancient consciousness inextricably interwoven into the complex geometry of time and space. Its destruction in the Cybertron timeline creates ripples, which become shockwaves, which gather force, become a tidal wave of destruction. In some realities, the effect of the ‘chaos wave’ is total, instantaneous, entire timelines… wiped out. In others, the initial effect is less pronounced, a dramatic event heralding a slow descent into space/time anarchy.>>
In the G1 timeline…
…CYBERTRON IS DESTROYED! The resident Autobots and Decepticons barely have time to evacuate the planet, to eject the core of the planet and it’s precious Vector Sigma cargo (an eventuality made feasible way back when [in The War Within v3]) before the planet is torn apart, smashed into component molecules by the roiling chaos wave. Many Cybertronians don’t make it at all, and are simply wiped out. In a shockingly short time, Cybertron is gone. Forever. Shocked, stunned, bereft of their homeworld, the remaining populous finds itself spread far and wide throughout the galaxy, seeking (in the Autobots’ case) safe harbor or (in the Decepticons’ case) new worlds to conquer… and colonise. Megatron’s Decepticons have perfecting ‘mechaforming’ technology, invasive, self-replicating machinery designed to restructure the entire geological substructure of a planet, in effect turn it into a new Cybertron. And since the Decepticons are indifferent to the presence or fate of any indigenous civilizations on the planet(s) of choice, it’s down to the Autobots to stop them… at any cost.
Earth, always a pivotal world in the G1 timeline, becomes even more of a focal battleground. Its natural resources are a potent brew that – with the right exploitation and manipulation – can be turned into energon, the lifeblood of the Transformer race. In Decepticon hands the whole world would be turned into a vast refinery, bled dry to fuel the creation of the ‘new’ Cybertron.
And Optimus Prime has an even more pressing concern. Contacted by Vector Prime (who can move within all remaining TF timelines), he is warned that the omniversal geometry is critically out of alignment. The removal of – for want of a better word – ‘evil’ has disturbed an age-old natural balance. Though it goes against every Autobot credo, they must somehow resurrect the dark force known, among other things, as Unicron! The key is the so-called ‘Decepticon Matrix’, a quasi-mythical power source spread throughout the galaxy. Said to be fragments of Unicron itself, released in some apocalyptic confrontation with Primus before the dawn of time, its retrieval and coalescence could restore the balance and dissipate the chaos wave. Reluctantly, with grave reservations (and considerable dissent in the Autobot ranks) Prime forges an uneasy alliance with two of Unicron’s heralds, Cylonus and Scourge, both of whom are dedicated to the rebirth of their master (for different reasons). But, unknown to Prime, they have a secondary agenda, a plan to use a fragment of the Decepticon Matrix to destroy Megatron… and recreate him as the unstoppable force known as Galvatron!
<<And so, in one timeline, the Autobots seek to make Primus whole once more, while in another, they seek to resurrect the spirit of Unicron, leading ultimately to the new, universe-shaking confrontation between the two ancient forces… one that will (briefly) unite all remaining TRANSFORMERS timelines and continuities in an epic battle for survival.>>
CYBERTRON #0 (AND ONGOING)/G1 #0 (AND ONGOING) Amidst the larger framework of the ‘chaos wave’ saga, the ongoing thrust of Cybertron is a focused series of one or two-part (largely self-contained, featuring different character assortments) adventures set on Cybertron, Earth and the key planets (Speed, Beast and Giant) that support its core quest… the search for the lifeforce of Primus. At every turn, the Autobots are confounded and frustrated by the Decepticons, but in the process forge new alliances and friendships, both on Earth and beyond. It’s a race against time… with the fate of Cybertron (and more) hanging in the balance. The G1 title expands the scope and reach of the line, exploring wider character/conflict story arcs (while pulling in much more fan-friendly past and future continuity) and dramatically shaking the whole TRANSFORMERS mythos to its core, streamlining and redefining the sometimes confusing mass of ‘alternate’ timelines. But as with Cybertron, the focus will shift to different groups of Autobots/Decepticons on different worlds, faced with differing agendas and challenges.
The issue #0s will be mirror-images of each other, both told from the perspective of Vector Prime as he awakens to an omniverse in chaos, threatened on all fronts. His narrative will serve to encapsulate what has gone before while his actions introduce the primary cast and lay the groundwork for what is to come.
I want to read that.
Ukrainian Red CrossI, for one, would like a Doctor Who/Star Trek crossover. IDW has both those licenses right now, don't they? I'd say Voyager specifically while they were still lost, but I'd read the Doctor interacting with any Star Trek crew. The Doctor could get into an argument with Q, and Seven of Nine or Data could get into a shoot out with some Daleks or Cybermen. That would be cool.
Hey, they did it with the X-men, this idea is only slightly less weird.
Actually, Russell T Davies seriously considered doing a crossover with Star Trek Enterprise, but Enterprise was cancelled before anything could come of it. However, even if he did manage to pull it off, it would have buggered up Trek continuity.

Given the fact that the Marvel Universe's and Star Trek Expanded Universe's continuities should not even be mentioned in the same contexts as the phrase 'internally consistent', I see no difficulty in fitting Planet X into either one or both canons. I don't have a particularly high opinion of either franchise's attempts at continuity, so I figure anything goes.
@Max: I'm not too familiar with Star Trek, but I was under the impression that Enterprise just conflicted with fanon, and everything in it was technically in accord with canon, just not the most common understandings.
Also, the X-Men crossover was in a comic, which isn't canon. Davis' proposed crossover would have been on TV, thus making all of Doctor Who part of Star Trek canon, and it would be a bit suspicious that the Federation never came across Daleks or Cybermen.
Ukrainian Red CrossThey could make the Cybermen a failed Borg experiment! Plus, just because it's on TV doesn't mean it has any more canon legitimacy than anything else if the creators of the show say it doesn't.
Course, I think it would be funny if a Star Trek character started referencing Dr. Who in an episode. It totally would have fit Tom Paris' twentieth century fanboyism, especially if it was the real early black and white shows.
They really need to do a fucking series on Venomsaurus Rex or Tyrannosaurus Reich.
Was Jack Mackerel. | i rite gudActually, it does. Paramount's official position is that the live-action TV series and movies are canon, and the rest isn't. Well, I suppose they could stick a big "This episode isn't canon" banner at the start of the hypothetical crossover episode, but still.

Similar to a thread in the live action board. Which comics would you like to see exist?
For me, I'd like to see a comic based on Captain N in which Captain N gathers up the greatest video game heroes; Mario, Sonic, Mega Man, [[Metroid Samus Aran]], Pac-Man, Coco Bandicoot and Sparkster. Their main enemy would be The Evil Scientist Union; Eggman, Cortex, Wiley and Nefarious
