Robin Lefler's mom, Morgan Primus, looking like Number One, Chapel and Mrs Troi is worth a smirk or two in the novels (and her face was obscured by a hand mirror in the Wildstorm one-shot comic), but seeing Number One - er, Morgan - phasing in and out in the new comic issues requires some background knowledge from the books.
Likewise, M'Ress and Arex (formerly of TAS - see below) have just turned up for their NF comic cameos (issue #4) and casual TOS readers (or anyone who's just been reading IDW's various "Year Four" issues) are gonna wonder why they're suddenly in the 24th century.

And hey! We've now finally seen a depiction of Desma the Andorian - she's the new first officer (below) of the USS Trident, introduced a few novels ago.

The requirement of being current with the novels is probably my biggest complaint about the comic.
PAD has that knack of being rather self-indulgent with his ST projects, but that's part of his appeal, too.
And luckily, my NF reading is (almost) up to date. I'm realising that I should have actually got to his "Mirror Universe" tale in the recent Pocket omnibus to catch even more clues in "Turnaround".
