If you aren't familiar with his work, he had an absolutely LEGENDARY TWELVE-YEAR run on the Incredible Hulk (#331 to #466) and an equally good run on X-Factor (#70 to #89, vol. 3 #1-50, 200-262, All New X-Factor #1-20).

He was also responsible for the Star Trek: The Next Generation novel "Q In Law".

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q-in-Law

"It features Lwaxana Troi and Q. The book was ignored by the Star Trek office at Paramount, and apparently published only at the insistence of Majel Barrett, the actress who played Lwaxana on the television series, and was wife to its creator Gene Roddenberry.[3]"

Damn

He wrote a lot more Star Trek fiction than just the one novel.

Oh, definitely, but I figured Q In Law would be the most recognizable one.

Nah, Imzadi surely?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

I read Imzadi and Vendetta. I really liked the latter because it involved one of Guinan's people using the Doomsday Machine to kick the Borg's collective ass.

Oh man, if you haven't, check out Q Squared.

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.
