Spoilers Star Trek: Waypoint Discussion Thread

[Garth Rockett]

It occurs to me that an interesting way of doing a Phase II prose project might be to do a short story collection with Blish-style novelizations of the Phase II scripts/treatments. I doubt anything like that would ever come to pass, but if it did I'd certainly put my money down for it.

They'd like yto do more, but nothing in the works thus far. https://twitter.com/TrekCore/status/893174460362047489?ref_src=twsrc^tfw&ref_url=http://trekcore.com/blog/2017/08/star-trek-comics-review-waypoint-6/

They'd get my money for a series of "Phase II" novel, for sure.

I would love to see a KRAD-written adaptation of Kitumba, for example.

I'd read a series of Phase II script adaptations.

Just read the last story in the last issue. What a fantastic series this was! I hope they decide to go back to it at some point, I would definitely buy more of these...

 

[JD]

I read in an interview from SDCC that they are thinking about doing more, but hadn't come to a final decision yet at that point.

Thought I'd refresh the thread since the trade paperback collection of the series came out a week or two back, and I just finished reading it. I did really enjoy how it took advantage of the idea of an anthology to push the limits of the Trek universe, rather than just being a grab-bag of the five series (even if a few parts, like the casual murdering of Mirror-Kirk and company seemed... weird). A (real) movie-era story would've been nice, and I definitely would be interested in a Waypoint, Vol II.

I loved this mini-series. It think it would be great if this became a bi-monthly series.

I'd read a series of Phase II script adaptations.

A Phase II comic would be AMAZING!

 

[Avro Arrow]

Good news, it looks like Waypoint is making a small comeback! There will be a Waypoint one-shot published this fall, containing a TNG story, a DS9 story, and an "all of Trek" story.

I really enjoyed the original miniseries, so I am looking forward to this!

[Jinn]

Awesome!

 

[JD]

Cool. I haven't read the original miniseries yet, but I really liked the concept and was hoping it would continue.

 

[Sakonna]

I am excited to see the Waypoint Special is coming out next Wednesday! I really loved that mini-series, I hope they keep bringing it back. It's so satisfying.

 

[DS9forever]

Is this the one with the DS9 Ezri story?

 

[Sakonna]

Yep. I think it's three stories -- DS9 Ezri, TNG Spot, and a multiple Trek story with Q.

 

[Therin of Andor]

Is this the one with the DS9 Ezri story?

"The anthology series spanning 50 years of Star Trek returns in this oversized annual! These weird and wonderful stories – set during the Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and more – expand on rarely explored corners of the universe or provide closure for long-forgotten plot threads. But they all remind us of why we love Trek. This volume features your favorite characters, including Data, Q, and Ezri Dax, handled by the top creators of today and the future!"

Haven't had time to read anything yet, but bought it today and like the looks of things from a quick scan through a few pages. At 5 today the comic book store only had 2 copies left! Hopefully it's selling as well all over so we can get more of this...

 

[Tosk]

I'm not really a "cat person" but I did enjoy the Spot story.

 

[Therin of Andor]

I was excited picking up Special #1 today. Andorians in two of the four stories - and a long awaited post-TMP story.

 

[F. King Daniel]

Going back to the touching Geordi/Data first story, that's exactly the kind of thing that would make a good Short Trek.
