Post upcoming comics here. (As we're already over halfway through the year, I thought I'd combine 2023/24)
I maintain a list of upcoming comics on my own site at https://www.startrekbookclub.com/upcoming-books/ there's currently 24 upcoming comics with 4-5 variants for each issue. How would we like this thread to be presented? Just a post about the books as they're released? As their announced in the monthly solicitation? or both? I'd prefer the first one just for clarities sake, maybe the monday before it's sold on wednesday? Is it ok to hotlink the images on my own site or should they be re-uploaded to the bbs?
So the general rule is if you own the site you are referencing (eg - you own the domain, you pay for the hosting, etc.) then it is OK to hotlink images. If not, then you would have to use an image hosting service like Imgur, PostImage, etc. (And if you do own the site, it might be a good idea to give a heads-up to your friendly neighbourhood mod. Otherwise it's possible to get a little... overzealous... with the image removals. )

There's also a George Perez tribute cover for the first issue of The Scorpius Run. I like the idea of it, but the execution leaves me a little cold.
