Star Trek: Countdown Collection, Volume 1

[Panem et circenses]

So, I was going to start reading the reboot comics in trade paperback. But I can't seem to find out what Star Trek: Countdown Collection, Volume 1 includes? Is it just the Countdown miniseries reprinted? Or does it have additional stories in it? If anyone has it and know what issues are included, that would be really helpful.

Looking at Amazon, it looks like it's just the four parts collected in one trade.

If that's the case, I was wondering why it is different at all to the original trade paperback: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Star-Trek-Countdown-Movie-Prequel/dp/184856435X

This one is infinitely cheaper, and if they collect the same issues I don't get the difference in price.

I have no idea, although I was one able to pick up used copies of a few Vanguard novels for one pence plus postage.

Thanks anyway. I never understand how they afford the one pence plus postage, I managed to get quite a few Star Trek books that way.

It is not just the 4-issue "Countdown" series, but also the "Nero" mini-series as well (also 4 issues).

There is a volume 2 to the "Countdown" Collection, which includes the "Into Darkness" 4-issue prequel series, and the "Khan" mini-series.

That is why they cost a little more, they have effectively bundled two TPBs into each volume!

 

[Panem et circenses]

Ahh, I thought this might be the case. But it didn't seem to have been expicitly stated anyway.

Thanks!

They want to get rid of the books, and giving them away is easier than throwing them away.
