Q and Trelane\\nComics.

\\n

Is Trelane a Q? Certainly this was never the intent when Paul\\nSchneider penned the TOS episode \\u201cThe Squire of Gothos.\\u201d But in the\\nyears since, the literary world of Star Trek has retconned the good\\ngeneral (retired), endowing him with the powers of the Continuum\\nand a backstory to go with it. But a year before Peter David made\\nTrelane a renegade Q in Q-Squared, Steven Wilson essentially merged\\nhim with the Continuum in a comic called \\u201cA Little Man-to-Man\\nTalk.\\u201d In this episode of Literary Treks hosts Matthew Rushing and\\nChristopher Jones explore this DC comic along with Marvel\\u2019s 1998\\n\\u201cAn Infinite Jest,\\u201d which brings the two omnipotent characters\\nface-to-face. In news we check in on the cover art for Kirsten\\nBeyer\\u2019s upcoming Voyager novel Protectors and we review the third\\npart of The Khitomer Conflict comic from IDW.
