Raven and Deanna Troi



This cover is the product of a suggestion by my awesome sister-in-law, Melanie.  I enjoyed Marina Sirtis' performance as Troi on Star Trek: The Next Generation, especially in episodes where she would interact with Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, who played her mother Lwaxana.  It's too bad Troi wasn't given more to do in the Next Generation films, though.  I feel she was a bit underutilized in all of them.

Raven has one of my favorite George Perez-designed costumes.  The unique shape of the cape and cloak lend motion to the character and give her a cool silhouette. It's no wonder that it has endured since her first appearance.

I hope there's a second part that's Deanna Troi and Donna Troy!

Oy! That's a cool cover!
How about a full Star Trek-Teen Titans team-up. I'm surprised that DC never did that kind of thing - oh, wait according to Peter David, Paramount management didn't think outside the box much...

Heh... Donna Troy/Deanna Troi, I never even realized how close they were!

Ross said...

Well, DC did just have a Star Trek/LSH crossover...

This and the recnt POTA-Terminator are two of the better designs you've posted here recently. I'd definitely like to see more of this sort; not every cover has to be DC-Marvel characters. Personally I'm still jonesin' for a Doc Savage-Indiana Jones team-up from you.

John, you'll be seeing both Indy and Doc on multiple covers (one coming tomorrow!)... I haven't paired them together yet, but I'd like to if I can find the right images.

I've also got more pairings like this one that I am sure nobody will be able to predict... as well as characters that naturally go together - Marvel DC and otherwise - so stay tuned!

How about the biggest fanboy turn-off team up of all--Jameson and Perry White! Or how about comic book teenager crossovers, such as Archie meeting DC's rip off Binky!

One of those is actually coming up.
