I read the first issue of Hive, and I thought it was ok. I do have a few questions about some things in the issue

I know a lot of ST stuff not on TV/movies isn't in continuity with each other (some books/comics are, like the Shatner books and some of the more recent books, but this comic is confusing me. Why is seven a Borg again? I haven't been able to read any of the newer Voyager Novels (and by new I mean anything older than the novels set before the end of the series) but, looking at Memory beta, even in the books shes not a borg again (her article on MB was confusing enough, talking about some alien species removing her borg implants, but she was definately not a borg). Just from the first issue of Hive I'm pretty sure that, reguardless of the intent, in my head I'll just classify it as a fantasy ST story (like the silver age Superman comics having Lois/Jimmy dream stories that would never happen). For my own personal fandom of Star Trek, I count the TV shows/movies as canon (of course) and the better newer books (like Destiny, which I need to finish, the Typhoon pack books, the DS9 after series books, etc) as what came after the various series ended, along with some of the better older books. I wish ST had been a bit more like star Wars, where 90% of the things published are in continuity. When it comes to expanded content, I like the sT stuff, but it can't match the SW stuff (the Star Wars expanded universe, to me, is much more entertaining than any of the movies, and only sucks when Lucas takes a hand in it, like the Clone Wars movie/cartoon).

While I love comics, I rarely read ST comics, so I don't usually think about if they have their own continuity. I am curious what continuity this is connected to that has Seven as a borg. Is it the IDW comics in general? I guess they wouldn't follow the continuity of the books, but this is just weird, and they didn't explain why she was a borg again, they acted like you should just know. I was especially confused because the cover of the issue has her in her normal look, with some borg implants but not a borg, and in a Starfleet uniform, so that made me even more confused. Does anyone know the story behind her being a full borg in this comic?

The "why" I believe is answered in the next issue but it's already been spoilt by the author in interviews.
