#44, hence the need for a better executed comic ;-)

“Insurrection” would be the most boring comic ever.

On a kind of related note…I just got IDW’s Star Trek Crew that John Byrne did. I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I recommend it. Byrne is really plugged into the details and nuances of the old show…even the show before that obviously never was. I can really appreciate that. And he reminds me it’s good to dream and be idealistic once again.

Insurrection was limited in it’s scale hence the obvious comparisons to a two part TNG episode but at least it was enjoyable. Nemesis on the other hand was ambitious in scope but the execution was horrible.

6> After the incredibly abbreviated version of TWOK they did, it’ll be nice to see them do a fully fleshed out story this time.

With six issues, I would still rather have seen them strictly limit themselves to the movie itself, rather than adding in extra bits – a comics page is, unless you effectively go into a montage or have sixteen-panel grids, significantly less than a page-a-minute, and six issues is still only ~132 pages. There are still going to be heavy cuts to make it work (probably by way of trimming scenes down to the bare bones, especially in terms of dialogue, rather than by losing scenes entirely).

#39 – Nemesis could actually be improved by a comic adaptation. But nothing could save insurrection. I just saw it on cable for the first time since I saw it in the theatre … and good god, that film is horrible. Well not horrible for a two-part episode of TNG, but pretty bad for a feature. Even the set dressing, make-up and cinematography looked like TV. Having seen Nemesis on cable several times, I am now convinced it is Insurrection that killed the franchise and not Nemesis. Had they appeared at the box office in reverse order, I’m certain Insurrection would have done better than Nemesis did following its disappointing predecessor.

Daoud, re #23:

“Spock Reflections” is another forthcoming IDW project, a tie-in to the movie and featuring Ambassador Spock. The short comic you were describing, ie. from the issue of WIRED magazine (May 2009), was called “When Worlds Collide” by Paul Pope and Orci & Kurtzman.

If The Original series Star Trek is the prime universe.

Does any one know what we are calling this awesome alternate time line?

Trekmove.com is my favorite star trek site.

I am glad someone is doing a comic book adaptation of the new movie it is a tradition that should be continued
