wamdue, your best bet is to get the trade-paperback/hardcover omnibus collection when it's out via Amazon

Question from the ignorant and a bit slow: Why does the cover have TNG, if it's about TOS?

The cover apparently references a flashback contained in the issue. The overall series is TNG based.

Ah. Thank you.

There is Comixology.com where you can legally buy a digital copy and read it. I believe there's also an iPhone/Pad/Android app.

Nevertheless when an omnibus comes out It will definately take pride of place on my bookshelf - seriously I have been a Trek fan since I was a kid, and Doctor Who since 99, so it's a MUST.

DREAM. COME. TRUE.

Amazon already has the omnibus available for pre-order with release scheduled for October:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1613774036

Presumably the UK version will be available at some point after this, though I imagine you should be able to order it if you're willing to pay the extra postage or Book Depository carries it. I thought the IDW monthlies were distributed in the UK - I get the impression from the discussion here that they are not (I know the early Doctor Who series with the Tenth Doctor wasn't but I thought that changed). I imagine Panini probably has something to do with it if they have a monopoly with DWM and Doctor Who Adventures (which we do not get over here and no one's bothered to do reprints of the comic strip for us).

excellent, that is that problem solved.

^ I wouldn't say 'excellent', October is a long way away. I was hoping it would be out before the summer.

Uhh... actually, I'd expect it to be later. The last individual issue isn't out until December.

but it saves me the hassle of finding out where & when individual comics are sold, and that I can take care of the entire series, with one easy purchase, from a internet site I actually know.

Of all the things to criticise me for, this is a tad unfair, when the comic comes out, is not something I can do anything about.

Assimilation-Squared is an eight issue series, and IDW's compilation graphic novels usually contain four issues. So I think we'll likely be getting two compilations here.

Will make a nice Christmas gift. For me.

the Classic GI Joe trades IDW's doing of the Marvel run have averaged 10 issues. i suspect they'd be more likely to do one 8-issue collection of the entire series than 2.

I see on amazon it say 104 pages, if that helps anybody, so 13 pages per comic, sounds low to me.
