And it could get worse when the new tarrifs go into effect, since apparently a lot of the comics are printed in Canda.
And this isn't about a new comic, but it doesn't really deserve it's own thread so I'm just going to post this here.
I think Amazon has screwed me over. A while back I bought the digital collected edition of the full Khan: Ruling in Hell miniseries, but when I downloaded and flipped through it today, it's only the first issue. I remember flipping through it a few months ago when I was thinking about reading it, and it was the full collected miniseries, and when I go to the store page for it. it says it's 102 page collected edition for, not the 26 single issue pages that it actually is.

pretty much all of them, lol: https://icv2.com/articles/news/view/58239/where-are-american-comics-printed
That's a shame about your digital book, it's one of my fears with my own digital TBR, and why I like having the direct downloads that some retailers offer. I'd be interested in hearing what the ultimate resolution is after you bring it up to them.
I'm not sure if I will. I might just borrow the individual issue on Hoopla, I'm not sure if I really feel like dealing with Amazon customer service.
It's a prequel, so new material, not an adaptation. I imagine it will be popular with Michelle Yeoh fans as well.
Could it have been an experiment, or necessitated by extenuating circumstances?
I think what Bryan means is that people would be more interested in a prequel to a movie they liked than one they disliked. Also, it's only got drawings of Michelle Yeoh, which isn't necessarily enough to satisfy her fans. Plus, I can speak from personal experience that being a fan of Yeoh does not inoculate one against disliking a movie she's in or a character she plays.
Right. It’s a prequel to a plot point that loads of people seem to agree makes no sense in a movie that in general was pretty bad. Another example. Rogue Elements may be one of my favorite Star Trek books of all time. It came out during the run of Picard, a show I didn’t necessarily love. But since it was still coming out, I was still mildly invested in the world. The Section 31 comic is a movie I hated which will have no follow up, spun off from a show I generally disliked (Discovery) that’s over. The interest just isn’t there.

Suspicious after the Cerritos docks for its second baryon sweep in the same year, Mariner sneaks into a command meeting. There, the Department of Temporal Investigations tasks the crew with finding a time traveler who is rewriting Federation history at an alarming rate. Mariner finds her friends and tells them what’s really going on… only for the timeline to change around them! Obviously, something has gone wrong with Command’s mission, and per usual, it’s now up to Mariner, Tendi, Rutherford, and Boimler to save the day.

A cartoon collection, not a comic book, but closer to a comic than a novel:

There's an unconfirmed report that IDW is launching a Star Trek: Red Shirts series in July.
Good riddance. I didn't like the writing in most of the recent IDW Star Trek series. Lots of mistakes, character motivations and plot points not explained properly, missing scenes, dead characters turning up alive, too much mysticism/not enough science and worst of all: Shaxs' Best Day.
Lower Decks is the only current IDW series that's actually good.
Surprising. I very much look forward to hearing their upcoming news.
From the recent media release.
"While 'Star Trek: Omega' closes the door on one era of Star Trek comics, IDW renewed its licensing agreement with Paramount for Star Trek comics, meaning it isn’t done with the final frontier yet. The publisher promises news about the future of Star Trek comics in the coming week."
I don't think that really matches the mood of the board post you are quoting.
