I can understand the artistic reason for putting it in the films, but there is no reason for lens flare in a Star Trek comic book.
This is just excessive, and not photoshopped. You could play count the lens flares with the first issue of Star Trek: Countdown to Darkness. I found fourteen!
What Would Spidey Do? 
My friend and I were just talking about the movie and she hates JJ Abrams putting so many lens flares in the movie. He even himself in interviews apologized for how many there were in the film. I do agree, it’s a bit excessive to put them in a comic book…
