Volume 3 of the UK comic strips are out in hardcover, plus the latest IDW comic (Kelvinverse) and Pocket's new DS9 novel ("Gamma: Original Sin" by David R George III).

 

[tomswift2002]

I just Original Sin in the mail from Chapters here in Canada.

I hope this doesn't sound rude, but I was just wondering Therin, do you read the books? You post all the time about buying the books, but I don't see remember seeing you actually discussing them in the review threads very often.

I hope this doesn't sound rude, but I was just wondering Therin, do you read the books? You post all the time about buying the books, but I don't see remember seeing you actually discussing them in the review threads very often.

Of course I read the books, and the comics.

I am waaaaay behind on my Trek novel reading, but am current with the IDW comics. I often find I can offer little in the review threads that others haven't already covered by the time I read the books, so I rarely go there these days. I also had a job change at one point that eliminated my two-hour daily commute (and two-hours home), and lost my highly-coveted novel-reading time.

Reading Facebook on the phone, on my shorter train trips, has seemingly replaced novel-reading. I also have a paid gig writing professional reviews of non-Trek children's literature and writing teaching notes, so those items' deadlines always have to take priority.

BTW, I just today I secured this, from someone selling off their Loot Crate IDW exclusive:


Origin of Data by Ian McLean, on Flickr

I managed not to hear of this until now. I think I'd seen the cover art and assumed it was part of the main mini-series. Although I do expect it will appear in the reprint omnibus trade paperback of "Mirror Broken" in a few months (along with the exclusive prologue of the same story from Free Comic Book Day), knowing there was another exclusive out there just had me running off to eBay this morning. And damn that "Priority"-only international mail option. Grrrrr.

I have found Star Trek Seekers - Zweite Natur in front of my door when I came home from work late in the evening.

 

[Reanok]

I got my Star trek books Ds9 Original sin and Diiscovery Desperate Hours. Looking forward to reading these books soon.

 

[Therin of Andor]

On my way into the city to pick up "Discovery: Desperate Hours" and official TOS calendar for 2018. Plus Volume 2 of IDW's "Green Lantern"/Kelvinverse crossover" mini-series in omnibus trade.

I've been trying for a while now to get the NEglish version of the new STIS book, but I seem to have to make due with the German translation, which, thank God, is also in the proper format.

 

[Therin of Andor]

the new STIS book...

ST: DSC?

 

[JD]

Have indicated anywhere what the official abreviation for the show is? I've writing DSC, but I've also seen DIS.

The Writers' Room staff at CBS have said it's DSC. And it was even marked on a shuttlecraft in Episode #3.

DSC is official, but so is VGR instead of Voy, as such ST: DIS it is

 

[JD]

I just go the e-book versions of TOS: The Latter Fire and TOS: Elusive Salvation.

A big week already, and I haven't been into the comic shop or Galaxy yet!


Anthony Rapp CD and book by Ian McLean, on Flickr

"Star Trek" Borg and Saru figural enamel pins from Fansets, and Anthony Rapp's pre-"Star Trek: Discovery" memoir, "Without You", and his CD with Adam Pascal, "Acoustically Speaking".


New Trek stuff by Ian McLean, on Flickr

"Outside In Boldly Goes" and "Outside In Makes It So" are collections of Star Trek articles. IDW's "Loot Crate" exclusive comic, "Mirror Broken: Origin of Data", was an eBay win. "Renegades: The Requiem" fan film has arrived for sponsors on DVD; and ThinkGeek's unlicensed "Captain's Log" spiral notebook was at Zing! this afternoon.

UPDATE: From the comic shop!

BTW, Mego's Neptunian, an original-to-Mego TOS action figure from the 1970s, features as the penal administrator of Neptune Station in the TNG "Mirror Broken" comic!

Unexpected pickup tonight!


Autobiography of Picard, "edited" by David A. Goodman by Ian McLean, on Flickr

And in today's post: at long last, "The Outer Light", an autographed copy of the hardcopy painted graphic novel of Morgan Gendel's unauthorized sequel to his TNG episode, "The Inner Light". From the author himself!

New Trek by Ian McLean, on Flickr

Second volumes each of the "Star Trek" and "Star Trek: The Next Generation" adult colouring books from Dark Horse, and a CD from Anthony Rapp, now of "Star Trek: Discovery".

 

[JD]

I just got some Barnes & Nobel credit from the e-book lawsuit, and after The Flash: The Haunting of Barry Allen, the first tie-in novel for the TV series, I had a little over $1 left, so I got STTOS: Miasma.
