Once again, I am embarking on a long journey through my unread Star Trek books!
In this case, I've been collecting (the collected editions of) most of the so-called "Kelvin timeline" comics as they've been released, with just a few gaps I need to plug in. But all I have ever read is Nero! (And, I guess, Spock: Reflections and Countdown, which lead into the Kelvin timeline, but don't take place in it.)
So in this thread, I am going to chronicle my reading of all of those stories, from Star Trek: The Official Motion Picture Adaptation #1 to Star Trek: Boldly Go #18. On the way, I'll take in IDW's sixty-issue ongoing Star Trek volume 1, the two original Kelvin timeline novels released by S&S, various Kelvin timeline miniseries (e.g., Countdown to Darkness, Khan, Manifest Destiny), Alan Dean Foster's novelization of Star Trek Into Darkness, and the two Green Lantern crossovers. Me being me, I'm going to do my best to read it all in chronological order (thanks to this thread and Memory Beta).
Since I've already read Nero (and Foster's novelization of the 2009 film), my journey begins with Star Trek: The Official Motion Picture Adaptation. I will report back here once I have read it!
I feel like these comics overall garnered very little discussion here on TrekBBS, but they must have sold decently well to last sixty issues plus assorted other things, so I would be happy to see others chime in with their takes as I go. Please attempt to avoid future spoilers, though; I have some broad knowledge of where the comics go, but that's it.
