Any news of the UK release date of the Star Trek: The Complete Comic Book Collection?
UK release of The Complete Comic Collection?
- Thread starter toughlittleship
- Start date
IIRC, due to rights issues, sometime around Never/1
But you can get it from other countries and thus still own it. Although is it only readable on Region One DVD players?
It's a computer disc, not a video DVD. The regions don't come into play.
I bought a copy from Amazon USA and had it shipped as "a gift" to a penpal's US address, who posted it to me. Then, a local comic shop here in Australia got in some copies but they were unable to order through the Diamond catalogue due to the restricted shipping warning on the orderpak, and used a similar strategy to me.
It's a DVD-ROM, not a regular DVD.
I was under the impression it was a DVD, ah well, my mistake and cheers for clearing that up.

DVD-ROM. I don't think they work on DVD players. The disk just has a bigger capacity than a CD-ROM.
Too bad it's missing both X-Men/Star Trek crossovers, the Klingon Language edition of Starfleet Academy #18, and Gold Key's "Star Trek Logs" (even though it includes the TPB's from DC and Wildstorm), the comic strips (US and UK), and all of IDW's output to that point.
Good thing I made my own DVD ROM that has all that
The only thing missing from my set is the Manga, and anything from IDW beginning with The Last Generation.

If you mean Gold Key's Enterprise Logs TPB collections, the DVD-ROM does include their covers and all their original material. The rest of those volumes were just reprints of comics that are elsewhere on the DVD, so nothing's actually missing.
The one major TPB omission is DC's The Modala Imperative collection, which included a new introduction by Walter Koenig. I don't know why that was overlooked.
As for the comic strips, I understand that GITCorp is negotiating for the reprint rights and hoping to do a second DVD collecting them.
Unable to clear Marvel-owned characters.
An omission?
Which are simply reprints on very cruddy newsprint paper.
Unable to trace relevant contracts to determine royalty splits.
That would be rather unfair to pre-empt the current license holder of making money off their current license.
That would be excellent, if they can do so.
Though unlike the other omissions, they at least tell you on the front of the box that you aren't getting IDW's stuff.
Well this sucks.

Life in particular, or something specific?
