Spiced Peaches XXXIX will be a themed issue. That theme is the Mirror Universe (MU). All stories should involve the MU in some way, be it that they take place entirely in the MU (in the present, future, or past), or that they take place split between canon and the MU, or that they take place during "Mirror, Mirror" or in the immediate aftermath, such as dealing with the forced mind meld.
