So normally when I make one of these I post various pics from the comic but since I'm reading these on the high seas anyway I figured I'd be an extra grumpy bastard and actually link the entire thing for people here to suffer through.

Basics: It's a Picard prequel comic when he's at the academy set in 2325 decades away from any show material.
It's written by Sam Maggs. Yes, that Sam Maggs.
I was expecting the comic to be shit. I was no disappointed, the cover alone shows the modern woke trend of "diverse" characters, and why the fuck one of them is wearing glasses is anyone's guess since that's all but eliminated with the exception of a rare allergy to the modern cure which was the reason Kirk needed reading glasses.
I was expecting blatant pandering and shitty references to occur. Again I was not disappointed. Picard not only doesn't like tea [yet], but when offered it he is warned "Careful, it's hot." Oh Sam you retarded wetwipe, that line wasn't anywhere near as witty as you thought it was nor however much anyone then praised you for it.
The dumb cameos don't help things either.
For anyone wanting to further lose brain cells you can check what other works have been done by Sam Maggs. The tl;dr is Captain Marvel, Critical Role, and My Little Pony.
I. Shit. You. Not.
Really does come across as an actual agenda considering the other times Maggs has been posted about here:

I think the only time I ever saw one of them actually just get thrown out of the industry was Chuck Wendig, who after Disney fired him dropped his output to near zero minus a book in his own personal series and a literal writing advice book.
Which, to be fair. Even the wokest shit rarely reaches a level of bad like Wendig did, so apparently that's the barometer.
If he had slapped on a wig and did the lipstick-on-a-pig routine he would have gotten hired again. Not even joking, either, given the thread we're posting in, rofl.
Being a fuckin' white male didn't help him either.
BRRRAP
There's also Chuck Dixon, who now works for Vox Day's Arkhaven.
Check out My Sister Suprema, it's a decent book.
What happened to or with Wendig? I thought I hadn’t heard his name lately…
Basically nothing. He seems to have faded into irrelevance, as his output since is a fraction of what it was and basically all cheap, easy to publish original works instead of major licensed properties.
That's why he is the perfect example of what should happen to these people, and also the only one that ever happened.
