Hi everybody, Does anybody know how IDW reached the 500 count? According to my count there has only been 93 other issues since 400 making #500 the actual 494th issue. Those issues are Star Trek 1-23 Lower Decks 1-3 Resurgence 1-5 SNW: The Illyrian Enigma 1-4 Defiant 1-18 Annual 1 Day of...

Hi everybody, Back in the early days of Discovery I remember it being explained that Kirsten Beyer was coordinating the tie-in comics and novels for the series to keep them in continuity with the TV show. While they weren't canon, i think the intent was to keep them as faithful to the...

Discovery and Picard are not the only shows to have comic books and novels published concurrently that were overseen by a member of the staff. The Kelvin movies had comics by IDW that were overseen by Roberto Orci and a few were actually written by him and Alex Kurtzman. Also, Voyager has 2...

I am currently looking to fill out my collection of Star Trek movies. I have the Blu-Ray set of 1-6 but I still need the TNG and Kelvin Timeline movies as well as the new 2016 version of The Wrath of Khan. I'm debating whether to get Blu-Ray or go digital (iTunes) but am not sure about how the...

Please forgive me if this has been discussed before, but I was wondering how many ways the JJ-Trek film have referenced or shown continuity with the IDW JJ-Trek comics. I know that Countdown gave a background to Nero and Spock before Star Trek '09 came out as well as showing the circumstances...

Does anyone know if there is a significance to the fact that Roberto Orci is listed as Story Consultant on IDW's Star Trek: Ongoing but not on any of their latest JJ-Trek mini series? He is not listed in the credits for Starfleet Academy, Manifest Destiny or the Green Lantern crossover. Is...

Does anyone know what the sources are for the reference material in the Star Trek Database on Startrek.com and the the PADD app? Are these just recreations of information from the Star Trek Encyclopedia, are the articles original or are they sourced from somewhere else? Thanks and have fun...

I'm looking for a recommendation for a TOS reference/ behind the scenes history book. I've heard good things about Inside Star Trek: The Real Story. I've heard These are the Voyages reveals a lot of new material and challenges some facts (ratings for example). And I'm curious about the Star...

Quick question about the TOS novel Timetrap. I was curious about its time placement and skimmed through the preview of the iBook version. While I didn't find any evidence of it taking place in the post-TMP era, I did find that Kirk mentions his glasses that he got in TWOK. Is there any other...

Occasionally I hear certain TOS books described as feeling like the show or era. Would anyone like to list some of these TOS style books and tell why they feel like they belong in that era or why they feel as if they read like a "missing" episode of the show so to speak. Maybe it's the...

I was thinking about starting to read the Vanguard series and the Seekers follow-up books. But before I do I'd like to get the big picture per se. Can you guys help me with a few questions before I begin? 1. Other than the SCE and MU tie-ins, are there any other books or stories that...

Does anybody have any insight when/ if any of the following books will be available on iBooks? 1. Star Trek Compendium 2. Star Trek: DS9 Companion 3. Star Trek: Voyager Companion 4. Inside Star Trek: The Real Story 5. These are the Voyages vol. 1-3 6. Star Trek: A Comics History 7. The...

In both Howard Weinstein's Better Man And Michael Jan Freidman's Shadow of the Sun Dr. McCoy' background is explored. In fact, the two versions are quite similar. In each story McCoy's wife Jocelyn cheats on him and then he serves on the Republic. However if I remember correctly they differ...

I'm not sure where to post this but I have some questions about a Trek Lit podcast. Having listened to the wonderful Literary Treks podcast for a while I have come to enjoy discovering Star Trek prose stories through interviews and reviews. Recently I discovered a similar podcast called The...

Does anybody know why the iBook version of Unspoken Truths is priced 18.99? That seems a little high.

Years ago, when they originally came out, I had the Star Trek Encyclopedia, Star Trek Chronology and Star Trek TNG Technical Manual. Eventually my collection of books and comics had grown way too big and I donated a lot of my stuff to friends or the library, including these books. I...

I hope to start my TOS 2nd Five Year Mission marathon soon, but I have some continuity questions. The VOTI timeline lists the novels in the following order: Night Whispers TMP Ex Machina Kobayashi Maru Home is the Hunter Enemy Unseen Firestorm Mere Anarchy: The Darkness Drops Again...

Hi guys, I have a couple questions about the early days of the Pocket Books novels. 1. When did the Richard Arnold "era" actually begin. What were the earliest TOS novels that showed his influence? I seem to remember that he was in place as early as Vulcan's Glory. Is that true and if so...

Hi everyone. I've got a timeline question. I just finished reading Covenant of the Crown and Better Man, both by Howard Weinstein. In the VOTI timeline they are listed as happening in reverse of their release order with Better Man happening first. However, when I read them I didn't pick...

Hi guys, As a fan of DC Comics' Star Trek comics, I am interested in the further works of the three main writers: Peter David, Howard Weinstein and Michael Jan Friedman. I have been reading about Friedman's novels in various threads and on the web. My concern is how do they coincide with...
