I like this.
To be picking a nit, but these are comics. You can do anything you want, yet you use the same characters over and over and over and over….expand the frickin Trek universe a bit, for christ sake!!
This is the first Trek comic book I’ve ever been interested in. I might go actually buy it.
How hard can it be to get references for Worf’s head and ridges?
The artist has drawn it completely wrong.
I don’t fault the ambition of the story in bringing together the crews in this way, but the art mistakes in part 2 were so distracting as to qualify for the term “howlers”.
Case in point – apparently for reference to one of Voyagers’ Class 2/Type 9 shuttles, the artist must have looked at an image of the shuttle landed with it’s rear hatch open, as I can’t think of another reason why they would have drawn it travelling through space with the door open and trailing behind it like some kind of aircraft fin, in MULTIPLE PANELS, before doing interior shots with the hatch closed.
Also, for some reason the TOS era shuttlecraft was, for some reason, carrying those awful tan field jackets that were only ever used once during the walk from Enterprise to V’ger in The Motion Picture, and one team of characters decides to put them on despite being in the same locale as the other teams who were fine in the regular uniforms they already had on.
Handing a license over to someone who is clearly not familiar with the subject matter is just damaging to IDW at this point.
I’m disappointed they didn’t bring in the NX-01 crew.
Technically wasn’t the Star Legacy computer game the project that brought all the captains together for the first time?
