Jonah Hex and Data
Who knows how the Chief Operations Officer of The Enterprise found his way to the old West, or how Hex will react in the next few seconds. It would be fun to find out, though, and fun to see these two interact.

Star Trek: The Next Generation Vs. Galactus
Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Enterprise have successfuly dealt with a lot of powerful entities through diplomacy and strategy. Still, I think that Galactus would give them a run for their money. It would be fun to see what negotiations between them and the World Devourer would look like - especially when those talks break down.

Worf Vs. Aliens
One minor gripe I had with Star Trek: The Next Generation was that there were not enough scenes showing Worf being a badass. I know he was there to show how the Federation had made peace with one of their greatest enemies, but he could have still tapped into his Klingon savage side a bit more for my tastes. Ongoing storylines like giving him a son or an ill-conceived romance with Deanna Troy only served to soften him up further. I see that he is returning with most of the original Bridge Crew for the new season of Picard - but in the trailer for that he announces that he is now a pacifist. Let's hope he rethinks that stance by the end of the season.

ROM Vs. Worf
It looks as though ROM's recent encounter with Captain Kirk was not the end of his adventures with The Federation. Michael Dorn is famous for his portrayal of Worf, but these days his voice action work comes readily to mind as well. I've been hearing his signature voice on cartoons for decades now, including lots of comic characters like Gorgon, Steel, Kalibak, Atrocitus, Kraven, Ronan and Bane. He is always a welcome addition.

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.
