If Nero's ship is strong enough to toast entire fleets of 24th century ships, how in the hell is the 22nd century Enterprise supposed to dent the thing? That would be like shooting spit wads at the USS Ronald Reagan.
At the end of the series, everything is still as it should be after both ships travel back in time, so obviously whatever changes Nero made to the timeline weren't all that drastic, and nothing worse then the changes Sisko or Kirk made in their occasional trips to yester-year.

(I'm glad that you liked it. I'm excited to see how it turned out.)

(My comic shop was only up to issue #2 last week...I guess they're a little behind.)

Paul Dini's run on Detective Comics was absolutely superb, and even if you dont share his hard-on for Zantanna (Have you checked yourself for a pulse lately?), you have to admit the new Ventriloquist is shaping up to be a fascinating villain.
Angel: After The Fall and Buffy: Season VIII have both got me hooked, even though I haven't watched either series since they stopped airing first run episodes. My only major complaint with Angel, is that the artwork is so shoddy in places it's very difficult to tell who's who, especially when they're reintroducing some minor character who appeared in a few episodes of the TV series. That, and I still don't know what's up with the talking fish.
In Fables, we had the rather abrupt ending to the massive story arc that's dominated most of the previous 50 issues. Suddenly the war with the adversary is over, and the good guys have won. Hurray! Umm... Does that mean the story is over? Not by a long shot! Kudos to Bill Willingham for showing that winning the war is only half the battle, and picking up the pieces can have just as dramatic consequences.
The Walking Dead My god. This series has more twists and turns than Lombard Street in San Francisco. Thought your favorite characters were safe as long as they stayed inside the prison? Ha! Think again suckers! Well, at least Rick's family is going to be okay... sonovabitch!!!! Yay, not everyone was slaughtered! Wait, who are these new guys? Huh... Did that guy just say he knew what was causing the zombies?!?!
I stopped reading Hellblazer for quite a while, since it didn't really seem to be going anywhere, but Jock seems to have brought back the bastard we all know and love. The bit with the bones of St. Nicholas has got to be one of the single most bad-ass moments in the entire series.
This year also saw a few new issues of Fell (though not as many as their should be), Buckaroo Banzai (which wasn't to everyone's taste, but I enjoyed it), Criminal Macabre, Jack of Fables, No Hero, and Ellis's run on Thunderbolts.

Agreed, loved RIP. The fact that loose ends aren't tied up and there's still some unanswered issues makes it, in my mind, all the more appealing.
Plus, trying to finalize this story with Final Crisis starting immediately afterwards...not so easy. The big question is what they'll do with Batman post-Crisis.
