CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar 2 - Electric Boogaloo-Fanboys gone WILD-too many hyphens

It's not a new comic. It's the same old comic with one extra page and more promises. The creators have learned the tactics of Alec-Sensei well.

 

Or maybe some childish comic book like last time

 

AxTrek is for kids!

 

Has Lane actually written anything professionally? I didn't read the new page, but I did read the rest of it when it was posted before, and it definitely didn't read like he was.

 

He didn't write the Arcanis comic. That was Trey McIlwain...and nobody writing the Axanar comics is a professional writer.

 

Heh...yeah. That much is painfully obvious with that dialog. Reasonably good artwork, but the back-and-forth between the characters is quite cringe-worthy, IMO.

And it hadn’t occurred to me until just now that they used Abramsverse Klingon D-7’s in the artwork. Surprising considering how horribly “non-trek” AP pronounced the movies.

 

(In my best Lane)
Captain, sensors indicate (beat) wait for it, wait for it. boom! A bombshell is about to strike the ship.
Boom chicka boom!

 

... I talked about this before. The Klingons would not bombard the city with ransom, indiscriminate destruction. They would pick high-value military targets and take them out with pinpoint accuracy and avoid collateral damage. The real definition of Shock & Awe. They're warriors, not terrorists. They want to conquer, not unleash wanton carnage. They're not stupid. They know that they could use those facilities after they take the planet. They would want to take it as cheaply as possible, to include not having to rebuild everything.

 

Sarge, there are bigger problems with the comic than misrepresentations of Klingon battle tactics...

 

Definitely.

 

I've not read the latest one, but I've always been willing to give the comics a bit of a pass, since they are just fan-works. And at least someone's producing Axanar content

Also, this was pointed out in the Axamonitor group, but the Axanar Productions blog on their patreon, includes this unsurprising line:

So once again, it was a crowd funding campaign for a building that they knew very well they weren't going to be staying in. As everyone predicted. I assume from this quote, it means the new facility will be big enough to house the bridge set in its assembled state (Alec's correctly identified it as the linchpin to keep building support around).

 

I just take it at face value; it's a star trek fancomic. A very mediocre one.

 

Oh, I was skimming through to see if it was the same as what was posted before, and I thought I saw his name in the credits.
Is Paul Jenkins still writing the script for the movie? If so, I'm kind of surprised they didn't get him to write it for them. He's been writing comics for DC, Marvel, and tons of other people for over 20 years, so I'm pretty he could have done a much better job than McIilwain did.

 

Actually, Lane wrote an illustrated prose story called why we fight. It's on the Axanar site somewhere.

Paul Jenkins is still writing the main script as far as I know, but he's not doing the comics because the comics are not "official" Axanar presentatons. They are fan works, as is Lane's story. They are fan works based on material that doesn't exist yet. (I feel that needs to be made clear.)

 

How can you have fan works of a fan work that doesn't even exist yet.

 

Paul Jenkins is attached only to the Axanar shorts. That said, the Patreon promises a Kharn short story penned by "a New York Times-bestselling writer." While that doesn't specify Jenkins, it does describe him, and I think he's the only one of Peters' alleged former stable of published Trek authors he thought would write unlicensed works for him to turn into fundraising products.

 

You're obviously not of the body!

 

New: AxaMonitor Daily, a newsletter with the day's Axa-news lovingly delivered to your inbox each day. I aim for a five-minute read each day, not so dense as some of my regular articles; you can sign up here. For now, here's a link to view today's full newsletter with the three main stories, or you can read each individually on the AxaMonitor site (links below):

• Patreon effort slows to halt, not likely to save current Axanar home.
• Troubled software platform to manage perks and new donations goes into beta.
• Challenges issued and rejected to bring critics and supporters together, plus other newsy tidbits. (Only available in the newsletter, so sign up ferchrissakes!)

 

I hope so, I'd hate to see him drag anyone else into this mess. I can't anybody who writes professionally for Trek right now doing it. Back when all this started and Peters was going to do a short story anthology, I think I remember one of the pro authors over in the literature forum saying they wouldn't be involved, because if they wrote a story for a project like that, they wouldn't be hired for professional Trek work ever again.

 

Knowing him, I wouldn't doubt it. He and Lane are too stupid though to pull one over on a competent Arson investigator/LEO.
