Somehow that being hasn't contacted him yet?
Wormhole, the reason the comics cover what TOS has covered before is money. So, in order to appeal to old fans and new fans (trying to keep as broad an audience as possible) I predict that there will continue to be totally new stories mixed with stories that are new yet inspired by the old stories. Therefore: don't be surprised if there are still stories that are utilizing elements that are familiar, but in new ways.
Sybok should be played by Justin Lin's friend, Dwayne Johnson.

The being is probably grooming him over a long period of time. It's only on the run up to the film does the being deliver the final piece of the puzzle; his location.
But what does he need a starship for?
To get there.
No way in hell is he hijacking a Kelvin Timeline starship. Thousands in crew, bigger than both of Picard's rides... nope. 
Given how much faster ships seem in this universe, though, he'd frankly be better off stealing a small ship (like Mudd's) and heading out to the Great Barrier by himself.
Now there's a story for IDW: The Second Coming, as Sybok (in full faux-Jesus mode) and 'The God Thing' show up in Earth orbit unannounced and demand everyone bow down...

I was sort of quoting Kirk.
I liked the character of Sybok (and Luckinbill's performance). (ducks)
I wouldn't mind a new take on him if the Kelvinverse was a TV series rather than films (a neat, but low-key idea when one has the luxury of dozens of episodes). I'd likely read a Kelvinverse novel with a new take on Sybok. The character has potential (even if it was not fully realized in Final Frontier).
I imagine he's wandering around, in exile, but perhaps in a darker, more bitter state of mind (surely, given the TOS incident where Spock senses the death of a crew across a great distance, Sybok sensed the death of Vulcan). The more I think about it, the more interested I'm becoming in some exploration of the character in the Kelvinverse. Exploring such a character, I think, would be right up Abrams' alley. Who knows? Maybe a fifth film?

I believe sybok was a one time character and that he wasn't meant for more than one story.
Well, since he died in the movie, in the prime universe, I'd agree. In the Kelvin universe, I think there's room to explore the character (not that I have even the slightest expectation it will ever happen--just that I see no particular obstacle to doing so if someone wanted to).
You know it's like Kirk's brother, that even Kirk forgot ever existed.
When did Kirk forget he had a brother?
You mean:Well, maybe when he said: "I never had a brother."
?
"A brother" doesn't exclude other brothers. And while he did lose his brother Sam, he clearly came to view Spock as "a brother"--and Sam wasn't fortunate enough to "come back". Now, I suppose it could be interpreted as Kirk being callous towards Sam, but that loss was nearly 20 years earlier, while losing Spock and getting him back was only a couple of years earlier (if that long), so the most likely inference one could draw, from his complete statement, is the brother in question--the one he "got back"--was Spock.
He didn't say, anywhere, that he "never had a brother", nor is that logically implied by what he did say. Unless, of course, Kelvinverse Kirk made such a statement (though I'm not aware of one).
Neither Spock or Sarek seemed to sense the death of Vulcan despite being in orbit of it.
And? It's not like there were any plans to bring Khan back after TWOK, or even after Space Seed for that matter. The Borg Queen was probably intended to be a one-off when First Contact was written. I doubt there were any plans to revisit T'Pau after Amok Time. Hell, Weyoun really was only intended to be a one-time character and he ended up being in close to thirty episodes.
Spock was emotionally compromised. That, for a Vulcan, had to be from more than just knowledge, because of the way they process their emotions. What's more, Prime Spock sensed it. Even if he didn't say it in so many words, he sensed it. What we saw as a visual of Vulcan's destruction during his mindmeld with Kirk was probably Prime Spock's interpretation of what he sensed, passed through the filter of Kirk's understanding of it.
Do you realize how tortured your reasoning is? As a matter of fact, I did lose a brother fifteen years ago and I would never dismiss him the way Kirk did with his brother. You just don't forget about a member of your family, no matter how long ago they died.
Next you will ask him for his ID?
I was paraphrasing Kirk.
