You kinda remind me of DC comics haha
It's effectively, if not technically, a reboot right?
In terms of the franchise life and marketing, it's a reboot.
Plotwise, it's the same chain of events that began with TOS. So, not a plot reboot as comics do.
Branded as Kelvin....so its the lowest that Trek will go?
Kirk's origin is different because of a chain of events that happened in the future, not arbitrarily so.Eh, they did a lot of the things that get done with a comic reboot. They changed the ages/origins of some of the characters, sometimes dramatically so.
I can't help but be reminded of Marge vs the Monorail here.My favorite Space Trek character is Captain Kirt. May the force be with you!
The comics aren't canon. They never were. The only things for Trek that are canon are what's on screen or directly from the word of God themselves. Comics, books, video games, etc are not canon. They can be made canon if referenced on or adapted to screen, but it's best to not consider what happens in comics, even tie-ins, to be part of the lore.I really enjoyed ST Countdown even if Worf got played like a chump
Prime Picard even appeared in the "Kelvin" timeline of comics. Q appears to him and says "Spock lives", then runs off to mess with the Kelvin Enterprise.
So I agree with you, it's really a continuation
edit: here it is
Countdown at least is canon until it's not. I have to unfortunately concede overall though; the comics series was adapting stories from the five year mission. Even Into Darkness happens before that.The comics aren't canon. They never were. The only things for Trek that are canon are what's on screen or directly from the word of God themselves.

So will the new TV show take place in the Kelvin timeline or the original one? Or some completely different one?
So the new show they have planned for next year is in this timeline, and not the Prime/Original one?
Fuller's show is in the Prime timeline. Set shortly after Undiscovered Country, I believe.
Karl Urban is great tho.
This whole story was a fun read coming right off of binge-watching all of DS9 for the first time, not gonna lie.I really enjoyed ST Countdown even if Worf got played like a chump
