My guess is that no one at Paramount is even reading Mirror War to begin with, because it really is a boring slog.

There are people who get paid to vet tie-ins for approval. It's not optional, it's their job.
I miss Paula Block.
The Theseus design sort of reminds of one of the Defiant concept designs.
Reverting him to the job he had earlier in his career? That's like the movies putting Chekov back at navigation after he's already been a first officer. It makes no sense career-wise and devalues the character's growth.
Whiskey tango foxtrot? I think I hate everything about this design.The Theseus design sort of reminds of one of the Defiant concept designs.
Here is an image which Ramon Rosanas tweeted last month.

Well, I wouldn't tie character growth into job role, and if he is Security Chief/Tactical Officer of the Theseus, then he's off onto the Defiant in three issues time anyways.
This is the post with the pic:

Oh? How do you get him being tactical officer out of that image? He's wearing command red, not security gold. If anything, it looks more like he's the first officer. Although it's odd that the only character there in gold is the only one not carrying a phaser rifle.
Because we've been told Data is the First Officer and the only [ Redacted ] characters thus far have been Security Chief and Chief Engineer and whilst Worf is one of the leads in Defiant, Rosanas isn't the artist for that, and would be odd to have a lead from there on a promo pic for Theseus

But the point is that it's unrealistic to expect someone in the military to regress to a role they held at a lower rank. Worf was strategic operations officer for an entire sector of space. Going back to tactical officer on a single starship is not a realistic career progression. It's effectively a demotion.

I was speaking with hyperbole, but do they ever eventually say, “hey guys, you’ve been doing this Mirror Universe stuff for almost five years now and it ain’t working like you want?”

Some interesting bits in this interview: https://trekmovie.com/2022/10/22/in...to-lead-all-star-team-on-a-mission-from-gods/
On one of the preview pages, Jake says that the Borg killed his mother when he was two years old. He was closer to 11. This is way off and suggests the Battle at Wolf 359 was about a dozen years before Sisko took command of DS9.
Copying over for future record:
An interesting ship design for sure. The uniform designs are growing on me, the right shoulder patch is interesting and the stripe down the left pants leg is strikingly different.
HOWEVER, I've always hated that design of phaser rifle. It's too simplistic.
