I might add, the classic Trek script being used for the title was a stroke of genius. Really gives it the retro feel.

I’m so glad they didn’t retcon the Klingons to look more like their modern counterparts, while retaining elements of the culture introduced in TNG. Very good decision on their part. Besides, their appearance is part of canon now anyways… (BLEH, I thought that was so unnecessary :| )

3. Excalbian: I’m glad that you find the checklist useful and now I’m
feeling guilty because I haven’t updated the IDW pages recently. I’ll
get to it as soon as I can.

4. JohnnyMoo: I left out the multiple cover rant because it involves a
long-winded explanation of arcane comics business details like retailer
incentives, pricing, and market size. Whew!. Gives me a headache just
thinking about. But 8of5 gives the short answer. The variant covers just
aren’t easy to find.

Woah, James Quirk! I remember your work! Hmm.. that wasn’t supposed to rhyme… Do you still post your work or have a website anywhere?

Yes, yes I do. If you look in this thread, you’ll see some of my work. I have a website, but I haven’t posted any art there, yet. I’ve been off on another bent.

Drop me a line and I’ll show you some of the old stuff and more recent stuff. You wont see my work at trekbbs any more. I’m not politically correct enough for that site. I’m a little more right to Karl Marx than that crowd.

I’ve also been building a certain starship, but you wont see that there either, it’s not CGI……. LOL!

Awesome! I still have some of the Gold Key Trek comics from the 70’s, still fun to read once and awhile since I didn’t understand the plots as a kid :)

Astounding! Looks exactly like the process I used on my “Comic” art, several years ago, when I posted at Trekbbs and Trekpulse.

Immitation is the sincerest form a flatery, but I want some cash!

I’ve read both TNG: The Space Between and Blood Will Tell, and Blood WIll Tell is definitely my favorite. The writing is sharp and the writers do a great job weaving elements of Klingon “culture” that we know from the TNG era into the framework of the classic series. Well done.

Oh but there isn’t that much choice, half the covers are rather limited in availability.

Nice review, I’ve really enjoyed this series so far, much more than TNG: The Space Between, I’m not really a big Klingon fan but this series makes me love them a little more.

The last issue is going to be entirely in The Undiscovered Country setting so I’m looking forward to seeing what else is set up for that in issues 3 and 4.
