24. SpocksinnerConflict:

You are discovering what I hope other folks will also see as a great fleshing-out of the Pike era. The Early Voyages comic books do just enough to show what an episodic TV version of Pike’s Star Trek would be, without spoiling all the mysteries (like Number One’s full name).

So, the only thing we know about this new Spock book is that Spock is in it, and there’s a cool design of the IDIC pin he wore in that episode with Pulaski playing the (spoiler) blind woman.
Am I right, that is the IDIC symbol?

22-

I just discovered Early Voyages.

Just read #4-5 story arc explaining the change in Spock between the Cage and TOS.
I loved it.
I’m beginning to think Early Voyages is the best Trek Comic there ever was (hurray Marvel). To bad it was cut short in the middle of a cliff hanger…typical.

Number One’s name in the comics series “Star Trek: Early Voyages”, circa 1997, was Robbins. No first name was given.

#19: Far be it from me to really have to defend John Byrne, but you don’t have any idea what you’re talking about. If he’s doing what you say, then he’s doing it the traditional way, the way it was done for decades until about five years ago when DC finally stop using hand-letterers: Pencils, then lettering right on the boards, then inks over the pencils. Digital lettering is a fairly recent development.

And lots of comic book artists use blue pencil– including myself– because you don’t have to erase it as much. Erasing over India ink can sometimes make it come off the paper a little.

As far as your opinion of how it looks, it’s entirely subjective, and you’re entitled to it. But with regard to technique, you don’t know the man, you don’t know what he does for sure, and it’s pretty obvious you don’t know how comics are made.

Which, of course, doesn’t stop you from acting as if you do.

17. “I guess that means JJ’s trek is erasing TOS”

Nope, my TOS DVDs are still here in my TV cabinet and they don’t seem to vanish into thin air… I guess they will be also there in 2010.

John Byrne used to be the best there was in comic book art and now he draws like a hack. He doesn’t even pencil anymore. Now he blue-lines and ink right over it, and puts speech bubbles down first so he has less to draw on a page. The art looks like he was in a hurry to finish. Trek deserves better.

I’ve always thought that maybe Number One’s last name might be Chapel, as in big sister of a certain nurse who for some reason chose Starfleet as a means of searching for Roger Korby. Maybe Commander Chapel recommended Nurse Chapel or a posting on Enterprise. This wasn’t my original idea I got it from one of those “Best of Trek” books way back in the day. By the way, these comics all look great.

“the rebooted continuity”
I guess that means JJ’s trek is erasing TOS.
