2025 Comics Thread
- Thread starter The Wormhole
- Start date
I'm going to be honest, the first time I remember noticing the new logo was on a Lower Decks comic, and I thought it was a stylized "LD" for that title!
I always parse it as LD, but yes, it's surprisingly terrible.
Same.
I admire it more than I like it. I don't mind the overall concept, but the relentless fanwank is wearying.
I would welcome this -- I'm thinking of it as essentially a spin-off to Enterprise -- but I wonder how much interest there would be, and whether there would be enough to be viable.

When I first saw it on lower decks comics I thought it was an LD for Lower Decks.
I've been reading the IDW comics and I just got caught up to date (Lore War #1). I'm not entirely sure, but it seems they are set pre-nemesis. Does that seem accurate to others?
Star Trek: Lower Decks #6
Cover A by: Jack Lawrence
MSRP: $4.99 USD
Diamond Code: FEB251211
Written by Ryan North.
When Mariner asked the Krulmuth-B portal to send her, Rutherford, Tendi, and Boimler to the moment when they could make the biggest impact on history, she meant, like, to the time period where they could help their crew the most. But they’ve ended up on board the Titanic! Yes, THE Titanic, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The time traveler who’s responsible for a deadly wave of Federation rewrites is still at large, and the Lower Deckers are now further than ever from stopping them.

“Lore War,” Part 2. On one side of the war, Worf, Shaxs, Alexander, and others who once valued honor above all have now been designed by the malevolent android Lore to uphold his dictatorial rule; on the other side, a rebel Maquis fleet, Kahless II, Beverly, Sisko, and all those who know the truth behind their current reality endeavor to tear it down with what little resources they have. But not everything is as hopeless as it seems: There are allies hidden in the unlikeliest of places and assets-like the famous USS Phoenix-that escape even the all-seeing positronic eye of Lore.

At this point, all I really want from IDW is decent COMPLETE collected editions of previous publishers material - Gold Key, DC and Marvel. Big sized compendium volumes of circa 20-25 issues each would be great. Closest we have got is The Eaglemoss collection but that had way too many misprints and frustrating printing choices, to be what I'm after
I get that other properties are more popular than Star Trek, but I feel like every comics publisher of every archival property is able to make collections of 1980s-90s material sell... except for IDW. And now their problem is that, given that every reprint line they attempt fizzles out after two or three volumes of previously reprinted material, I will never buy into a new one... thus ensuring that they also fail!
I didn't go for any of the Eaglemoss books, so I can't compare, but I found that IDW's work on the Archives and Omnibus volumes was often very sloppy, so I wouldn't hold out much hope.
