Heya this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi. Oh well, I’m missing all the fun while I’m on holiday!

I like what I see. Unshaven Romulans. Dialogue that doesn’t sound as if the characters have broomhandles up their bums! A utilitarian, ‘realistic’ quality to the mining ship!

Promising! :)

There’s nothing wrong with giving these Romulans a less formal way of speaking, and neither is there anything wrong in trying to make them sound contemporary, but what’s on these pages is just bad.
Try actually speaking it, the dialogue is just clumsy. I hope the film will be better than this.

The conceit of the star suddenly blowing up also seems far fetched (yes, I know it’s silly science fiction, but there are limits). The new film is supposed to make Trek more real, this certainly doesn’t seem to be part of that. (if a star were to suddenly erupt, it certainly wouldn’t happen at the speed of light, so the ship would at the least have several minutes to get out of there, depending on the distance to the object)

The art is a mixed bag, excellent crosshatching and a good sense of light. The lay out is also nice, but the way the characters are drawn is sloppy.
And their colouring leaves something to be desired.
I’ve never really been a fan of most american comics, apart from the great Mike Mignola, most artists are indistinguisable.
The covers are also hideous.

Romulans dont seem to use this type of acronym….especially ones in command positions……But I am still excited about the movie.

Maybe Data escaped the explosion…….Hence the Romulan subplot in Nemesis…..Perhaps B4 knows a little somethin,somethin,none of the rest of us knows………where did they get the viral weapon in Nemesis?………The future????….The past??????….What is its origin????Mines maybe????…..What if scanners didnt show a second craft(Neros craft ) Beaming him aboard(DATA) ???The Enterprise was pretty damaged after ramming the Scimitar.
