I think most fans could accept a really young Kirk played by a believeable actor. There was no Spock in it...it did mention and show a young Uhura (I think they broke into the Daystrom Institute...however, I don't have the comic with me and am only going off of memory) Kirk has a heart to heart with his older Brother who is considering going off to become a colonist after marrying. Decker establishes it's his son, Will's birthday. We see that Mitchell is a genius, but un disciplined...going just enough to get by. Again, Kirk is a bit stuff taking himself too seriously until he is steered toward Carol Marcus...(there is even a nude scene of sorts...morning after scene for sure complete with a joke about Kirk's...er... 'nuff said) It was good...with some good writing tweaks and some more substance that only a well written film can provide. It would totally solidify the Kirk back story.

Kirk has a heart to heart with his older Brother who is considering going off to become a colonist after marrying. Decker establishes it’s his son, Will’s birthday.

We see that Mitchell is a genius, but un disciplined…going just enough to get by. Again, Kirk is a bit stuff taking himself too seriously until he is steered toward Carol Marcus…(there is even a nude scene of sorts…morning after scene for sure complete with a joke about Kirk’s…er… ’nuff said)

It was good…with some good writing tweaks and some more substance that only a well written film can provide. It would totally solidify the Kirk back story.

That is the one I wish they would make into a movie. It answers all the questions, stays in canon and is a pretty good story. From the Farm to foiling Finnegan's Kobyashi Maru test. We even see Ruth and Carol Marcus. Then the scenes with Capt Decker and Mitchell. We see a young Kirk...stuffy and stiff. A bright bookish sort of lad with a huge burden on his shoulders to be in Starfleet. That element of his character is what makes him...duty, intellegence and will. All he lacked was experience and...confidence that came with experience. http://i24.ebayimg.com/02/i/000/94/82/ac91_1.JPG

The Starfleet Academy annual from 1991 was great: http://i24.ebayimg.com/02/i/000/94/82/ac91_1.JPG Also they did annuals in the 1980s showing the 1st Mission and the Final mission: http://image2.milehighcomics.com/istore/images/ebaysize/79378074532.1.GIF http://image2.milehighcomics.com/istore/images/ebaysize/79378074532.2.GIF anyone got Debt of Honor TB? I got it recently - it spans Kirk fighting some critters from his days on the Farragut, through TOS, post TMP and right up to just after Trek V...references to films and eps galore in it: http://i17.ebayimg.com/05/i/08/8f/3e/b2_1_b.JPG i used to collect the TOS movie series comics in the 1990s (Peter David etc) i remember they were pretty good.

Well drawn, they're a way to still see the characters with their original faces after actors age and die. I followed the early-90s DC lines for a while. The TOS series, kicked off by Peter David, was often well written. The TNG series was generally sophomoric. Granted, TNG was midway through its seasons at the time, but even today it's harder to write well for TNG's utopian characters. Trek comics in general aren’t inherently lame.
