People have got to get over the myth that canon is some sort of guarantee of permanence. Every canon is still just a set of stories, and stories are imaginary constructs, which means they can be reimagined.

Well, except for Sherlock Holmes. There are fifty-six short stories and four novels in the Holmes Canon, no more and no less; everything else is an homage.

But I digress!...

Except for any canon that's no longer being created. That's the point. Creation is a process of experimentation and change, so the only canons that don't change are the ones no longer being actively created. This is what people fail to understand when they mistake "canon" for a guarantee of consistency. Canon is about authorship, not content. The canon is the work of the original creators or their successors, as distinct from outside creations emulating it. And as long as it's still being created, it's as subject to change and growth as any other living thing.

I will resist entering a discussion about Holmes apocrypha and its canonicity... but let's just mention The Field Bazaar, How Watson Learned the Trick, The Story of the Man with the Watches & The Story of the Lost Special hahaha.

Edit: haven't heard it yet, but:

Jace has an in-depth conversation with Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly about their new IDW title Star Trek. Hints that this book is kicking off a whole new line of upcoming books in the Star Trek universe, the guys talk about the crew, their ship the Theseus, the era the story is set in and a whole lot more. Also some Batman Beyond and Captain America talk and plans to have Collin and Jackson back on to dive into these characters and the debut issue of Star Trek when it drops in late October.

Reading IDW #400, pretty good so far
The USS Rutledge is a New Orleans class, NCC-57295, those facts apparently originate in an old DS9 comic.
