    They actually did a Andorian Alien Spotlight comic already. I'm sure Therin will probably be along shortly with more information.

    What's more to add? It was great! And the author used my Andorian website to research the comic. Even cooler!

    We got it here Down Under! I read it on Thursday afternoon before heading in to see "Cloverfield" and a certain long-awaited teaser trailer.

    ^ I found it at another shop on the way home yesterday (along with a couple of other books my regular shop didn't receive).

    Well I can think of at least three more instances of Andorians appearing in IDW comics: We had Schwin in "Captain's Pleasure", the second issue of The Space Between (and my favourite of the series). There were a few Andorians in the background in the Orions Alien Spotlight. And most recently Admiral Kebal in the first issue of Intelligence Gathering.

    OK, I wasn't realizing someone was expecting a list. ;)

    It's highly likely the Andorian glimpsed in "Orions" was Shras ("Journey to Babel"). Maybe its when his aide was "replaced" by Thelev. The costume seems the same.

    Chef, actually.

    Well it's not like I went a made a great big database of every Andorian that ever has been, I mean only some kind of Andorian obsessed crazy person would go that far... :P (why isn't there an Andorian emoticon, surely if we have :bolian: we should have an Andorian!)

    Anti Drone had done this one [​IMG] when he did the other aliens, but T'Bonz, or whoever choose the smilies to add didn't used it.

    We snuck an Andorian into the Borg spotlight as well.

    Though, if you've seen the preview, you know what happens next...

    You guys have just worked out that if you drop in an Andorian cameo you'll get a mention for it on my Rogues' Gallery of Andorians.

    Not that I'm complaining.

    (I have so many updates to do. Again, Not that I'm complaining.)

    Don't forget, all TAS references (eventually) get a mention over at Toon Trek.

    Have you added the Forged in Fire, TAS references yet? I haven't gotten to any yet myself, but I've "heard" other people "talking" about them.

    My copy of the book is filled with Post-it notes. Today, hopefully. ;)

    Mind you, this was the same artist that some people were ripping into a few weeks ago, when they didn't like his painted version of Calhoun.

    Trek fans are a tough crowd to please, but they also give honest props when they're due. I think Stephen has really nailed this book, and together with Peter's writing, it's looking really awesome -- if I do say so myself.
