That TNG Ghosts cover has to be the most unintentionally funny cover I’ve seen in years. “Picard breakdancing…the aerial view. “
I love that TNG cover.
“I LIKE TO SING-A ABOUT THE MOON AND THE JUNE AND THE SPRING-A”
TNG 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO
I’m guessing the text in the preview isn’t final? Cos there’s about 8 typos in one panel alone…
Ooo! Captain Sulu comic! Does this mean that George Takei can finally shut up about that “Captain Sulu” TV series for awhile? Please?
Re: Captain Picard cover…
“There! Are! TEN! Fingers!!!”
My, how the comedians are dominating the discussion…
On a more serious note: I am VERY impressed with any/all of John Byrne’s Star Trek work for IDW. As a long-time comic book buyer who quit in the 1990s, it is because of Mr. Byrne that I am buying comics once again. They’re exceptional. Thank you, IDW, for giving fans what they want! Awesome stories, incredible art/coloring.
And thank you, TrekMovie.com, for reporting on all of this! :)
What’s up with the Klingon disruptors? They’re not like the TOS versions. The drawn de-mat effect looks good. I was thinking though that the TOS era Klingon disruptor was a SONIC disruptor…
When did DS9 1 come out? I missed it.
January is going to be a good month!

“Drop your weapons of face immediate extermination!”
“of”? Or “or”…
Tsk, tsk IDW! The editor AND the letterer missed that one!
MORE Romulans?
Re: Captain Picard Cover
WTF HAPPENED TO MA HAIRZ?!?!
I don’t think the East Coast will be getting Romulans: Schism #3 this week. It’s not listed on the Midtowncomics.com shipping list. Probably won’t be until the following week on the 11th.
Re: #10
Also “or die like you men”
“Your men” perhaps?
Is the cover of Schisms 3 identical to Schisms 1 (other than 3 instead of 1?) Looks it?
Peple who don’t check fore spelling errers in comic books really irretate me. Think of the kids they are misleading!
I like the Bird of Prey refit in the comic.
i dont understand why they are going into DS9- that story is over- unless it’s about what happened to captain sisco what’s the point?
Where are seasons 5+ of Enterprise & the founding of the federation/romulan wars…
@19: The DS9 story is set during the course of the show. I think that part of it is to gauge interest. At that point, they might look at what else they can do.
@16: Very similar. #1 featured the Klingon at the front, #2 featured Number One, this one… Romulan. Each issue focuses a bit on the race that is front and center. But yes, the image there for issue #1 is the same as #3. That’s a mistake.
@8: December. :)
