I read it all and enjoyed it, but the time period it was set in wasn't necessary for the story they told, which imho it could have been set in any TOS era.
I'm itching for more SNW stuff. I know about the upcoming novel, but has anyone heard about any new comics? (I read the Illyrian Enigma and the Scorpius Run.)
Same. I checked it out from my local library and, while it had some nice character moments and there were a few instances where the author captured their voices perfectly, I thought "There's no real reason this has to be set post-TMP, it could be set during the last half of the FYM."

They're doing a Pride month one-shot that will include a Christine Chapel story. https://trekmovie.com/2024/04/19/ex...brations-idws-one-shot-comic-for-pride-month/ (though they don't have any preview images from the Chapel story here, just some of the other stories that will be in the issue)
I did. I thought it was one of the weaker outings in the last few years of Trek comics - but, since I think we're in the golden age of Trek comics, being one of the weaker outings in this crop is still pretty good. There was much to enjoy about it, but it did have that sense that it was building towards something more that it didn't quite reach. But I enjoyed there being lots of material for Uhura and Chekov, I loved more visual storytelling in the TMP era, there were some fun tie-ins to larger Trek lore, and it held my interest. I had quibbles and thought it could have delivered something bigger at the end, but I was ultimately satisfied with it and glad I read it.

I've gotten behind on my Trek comics, but some of the ones I've read: Defiant Annual: While I thought including Sela in the series was a bit much, I did enjoy this annual focusing on her quite a bit, and now I like her more being part of the series. I had some quibbles, but it was cool seeing the issue explore some of the pre-TNG history. Defiant #13 & #14: I haven't read every issue of this series, but it has also grown on me from its shaky beginnings. I still think that at times Worf feels out of character, but I am enjoying this arc. Spoiler I think the parasites are not the same ones from "Conspiracy" and if that's the case, I'm glad they are doing something different. Sons of Star Trek #1 & #2: I had my doubts about this premise, but I've really enjoyed the first two issues. I'm looking forward to seeing where the story goes. Echoes: I read this story a while ago, but don't remember if I wrote anything about it. I loved The Motion Picture setting, a look at Motion Picture-era Romulans, and the focus on Uhura particularly, Spoiler though I would've liked to see more done with the alternate reality to differentiate alternate Uhura and Chekov from the prime ones.
