Do you get the feeling that this is one of those tie-ins that doesn't really link to he film until the last few pages of the last issue?

Yep, I just read the first issue. Good fun, though. (Good luck, JJ, keeping SW Ep VII info underwraps. :)

So, in issue 2, what do you think about [spoiler]April saying he commanded a different Enterprise 20 years earlier? I know it's an alternate track and all...but still. Kinda weird that all of a sudden there's a proto-Enterprise between NX-01 and 1701. Also, he mentioned his XO MArcus...familiar name. Cool stuff.[/spoiler]

I haven't read it yet but that doesn't bother me.

In regards to the above...

[spoiler]It makes perfect sense to me. Robert April was Captain of the Enterprise before Kirk and before Pike. He was shown in an animated series episode. The only real difference here is it's a different Enterprise. Not really a big deal at all. Couple other interesting things here is it appears the father of Carol Marcus was April's first officer. And of course the fun little tidbit that now it appears Harry Mudd is a woman in the 'JJ-verse.' So would that make her, Harriet Mudd?[/spoiler]

I should add I have zero expectations that these new movies can/should/will have anything to do with the previous stuff. There is no canon I feel they need to adhere to.

[spoiler]And apparently she's Bajoran?![/spoiler]

Yep, exactly. They can do pretty much whatever they want in the 'JJ-verse.' :)

First issue of the comics to pick up after STID:

War breaks out across the stars as the Klingon and Romulan Empires fight for supremacy, with the Enterprise caught in the middle! Don't miss this epic all-new story set after the events of the blockbuster movie STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS, overseen by STAR TREK writer/producer Roberto Orci!

Actually the last issue I picked up (#21) already picks up "after darkness" and started a riff on the "Amok Time" story.

Ah, OK. I haven't gotten it yet.

These comics seen to be a lot more original and interesting than the movie. Weird.

Actually, not really. Most of this issues of this series so far have retold classic TOS stories again and again. Gary Seven, Galileo Seven, Amok Time, just to name a few. Even now that the movie is out they are doing Amok Time again. I've read all the issues so far and for some reason they keep doing the old stories over and over. I'm hoping some of this Klingon stuff will be new.

Yeah, I actually stopped reading them becuase they weren't original stories!

I was referring to the last few comments in the spoiler tags and the stories leading up to and beyond three current movie. Some interesting ideas.

Way behind on my comic reading. Vacation starting today so hopefully I'll get caught up. Miss reading my Trek comics.

Khan book coming soon from IDW to portray CumberKhan's 1990s. Could be pretty cool, interested to see how they work it all out.
