Fun read.

I didn't enjoy that comic at all, what was Khan's motivation after getting marooned on that planet? Sit around and act like a hippy until everything was taken away from him and then the only thing he could do was blame Kirk.

I sympathized with the Augments that tried to overthrow Khan more then I cared about what Khan was up to or thinking.

In TOS and ST:WoK Khan is a resourceful and superior intellect. He was neither of those things in that comic.

Khan wanted a planet to rule and Kirk gave him an opportunity to do so on a harsh, frontier planet. They had no way to leave and no way to signal for help, so exactly what could Khan do after Ceti Alpha 6 exploded? He tried to make the best of it for himself and his people. It wasn't as if they had the materials to create a subspace radio and signal for help.

That made me laugh

And Sisko would have said, "You're damned right!"
