NEW ONGOING TREK CROSSOVER SERIES BEGINS OCTOBER 2022

the first visual look at the Carnelians

The comics' version of the Carnelians, perhaps, but in The Buried Age I interpreted the Carnelian Regnancy as a multispecies power whose members included several unnamed background species seen repeatedly in Deep Space Nine. So my version of Carnelians have been seen before. (I get tired of Trek's kneejerk tendency to equate nationality with species, and its habit of introducing new species all the time instead of doing more with established ones. Since TBA is a prequel to TNG, I felt the Carnelians should be aliens that were present in TNG/DS9 so that it wouldn't feel like they just disappeared afterward. Also, since "carnelian" is the name of a semiprecious stone, I felt it would be less contrived if it were a reference to something made of that stone -- the Regnancy of the Carnelian Throne -- than if an alien species's name for itself happened to be a homophone for an English word.)
 
I’m hoping for DS9 stories set within this continuity. Where are Bashir and Ezri? Is O’Brien still on Earth? Did Bajor join the Federation?
 
Read the first issue for Sons of Star Trek. I thought it was a promising beginning. Enjoyed the artwork quite a bit, and the writing is good too. It just struck me how little the writers' room didn't take advantage to explore their writing lives through Jake on the television series as I read about
Jake's grappling over what kind of writer he wants to be.
 
Holy toledo!
A younger Liam Shaw appears at Utopia Planitia as the supervisor!

And an older Kore Soong appears in the Pleroma as an incorporeal Traveler!

(Yes, the writers think Tom Paris is dumb enough to bring his daughter along on an excursion to a dimension of hostile gods. One just has to roll with it.)
 
Oh neat, Issue 11 had an MSD of the Theseus.
Wrong LCARS design for the era, but still neat.

Just to add some context to this. I looked at the other comics and noticed some panels that had Picard era LCARS in them, so decided to go with a mix on Lower Decks MSD's and a Picard style LCARS with it. Since we don't know quite when the Picard LCARS came into use, I felt it could of been used on the Theseus, maybe as a test bed, since the ship as quite a few unique systems.

That was you? I love your work.

But: "While 'Star Trek: Omega' closes the door on one era of Star Trek comics, IDW renewed its licensing agreement with Paramount for Star Trek comics, meaning it isn’t done with the final frontier yet. The publisher promises news about the future of Star Trek comics in the coming week."

Bleeding Cool has a piece on Star Trek: Red Shirts, coming out this summer.

I was working on the text for this a few weeks ago at work, and I kept saying "Omega" the way Patrick Troughton does in Doctor Who. I amuse myself in really stupid ways. :)

It's not just Troughton, it's everyone. I guess "Oh-mee-guh" just how they pronounce it in England.
 
They say it that way in Oceania, too. The character of the same name from Star Wars: The Bad Batch uses a long "e" sound to say the name, and that's where the voice actress is from. I'm pretty sure I've heard Daniel Craig pronounce the watch brand with the long vowel sound as Bond, too.
 
Where would one be able to find a list of all of the appropriate trade paperbacks one would have to buy if they wanted to go back and read the story?

Here. Volumes 5 for both Star Trek and Star Trek: Defiant have been announced for late this year, and there will no doubt be a final collection for the Lore War crossover, which might include Omega as well.

It seems as if many of the collections are only available in hardcover for now though, not in paperback. Maybe there'll also be larger omnibuses.
