This has not been a good week for Star Trek fans for Patrick Stewart Dead, 'Star Trek' and 'X-Men' Superhero, Dies at 86. He was Captain Jean-Luc Picard starting with Star Trek: The Next Generation tv series and Professor X in the X-Men movies based on the Marvel comics. The universe has lost a very talented and respected human being.
IDW Publishing released Star Trek: Holo-Ween #2 earlier this week. The cover features Data as a Frankenstein monster facing Riker as a Wolfman while the face of Troi as a mummy queen looms in the background.
There is a great homage to classic monsters in this issue with Deanna Troi as a mummy queen, Riker as a wolfman, Worf as a Gill Man and Picard as Mr. Hyde:
Star Trek: Holo-Ween #1 launched this week with three covers. Cover 1A and RI both have art by Francesco Francavilla that features Captain Picard and Deanna Troi running from Redjac aka Jack the Ripper. Cover 1B has art by Suspiria Vilchez that features Troi screaming with a giant Medusa head in the backgorund. I won't spoil the story but some of the crew gets turned into monsters.
