Summary[]
Background information[]
- Three covers were produced, a photo cover, one by J.K. Woodward, and the basic cover by Pablo Raimondi and Brian Reber. All three carry the Myriad Universes banner.
- J.K. Woodward's variant cover homages the cover of X-Men #141 by John Byrne. The issue featured the famous alternate future storyline "Days of Future Past", a clear analog to the alternate version of the Star Trek universe presented in this comic. Also, see "Star TreX" et al for other Star Trek/X-Men crossovers.
- The variant cover features two IDW creators among the Star Trek characters in the background: Editor-in-Chief Chris Ryall in the lower-right corner, and writer Andrew Steven Harris in the poster above Picard's right shoulder.
- The issue features an extract from "A Less Perfect Union", a story from the Myriad Universes collection Infinity's Prism, by William Leisner.
- The issue sold an estimated 8,664 copies in comic specialty stores in November 2008. [1] These figures do not cover copies sold in bookstores, etc.
