I don't know if this has come up before, but Amazon has reduced the price of their Star Trek Comic Collection DVD to $6.99. You can't beat that for an instant collection. The Trek Movie Comic Collection is $2.99. I'm picking up both.

Thank you. What a great deal!
Has anyone bought this yet? I just wondered what its like to watch comics on the computer. i could deal with one issue but a whole catalogue may be a little bit overwhelming.
Actually, in reading a little more about it, it looks like the movie comics are included in the complete set, so I guess I"m not going to pick that up separately.
OMG!!! That's a must buy.
P.S. Reading comics on the computer isn't too bad. Not as comfy as sitting on the couch with a paper version, but not bad at that cost.
I think I'm going to get this. What a great deal. Lots of reading material for a long time.

Placed my order for it (along with a Blu-Ray copy of "Forbidden Planet" too). Thanks for the heads up again on this awesome deal!
remember that it won't include wrath of khan. That didn't receive comic treatment until a few years ago.

Wow really? Why is that? That seems like a huge delay in lag time.

I bought this when it first was released and at $6.99 it would be a steal. I don't find it that bad to read them on a PC. You can zoom in and out as needed. Since it would be unlikely for me to ever afford to own originals of all these comics this was a good substitute even though I do have a couple complete series in my collection. There are some good stories to be read here.

I mistook the forbidden planet for fantastic planet, that movie scared the crap out of me (well at least the music did) anyone seen it?
Can you tranfer these to an iPad using iTunes?
Danieru_x - yes I have seen "Fantastic Planet" too. Weird movie. Been a long time since I watched it.
Bryan - I have no idea about watching these on an iPad. If they are in the typical comic book format on the disc it might be possible.

It says they are PDFs, which unless they are strictly locked to the Disc (I bought these btw to see if they would play on my iPhone) you should be able to view them via iBooks are whatever other PDF-reader you have.
I could tell you in 3-5 days, but the sale might be over by then.

Thanks for the heads up.. just picked this up.. I have all the actually comic books for these but it will be nice to have electronic versions of them.
Good god, what an incredible bargain. That's easily less than the price of one graphic novel collection that usually only contains four or five comics. I thought I remembered the original price of this collection being around 40-50 bucks which is a bargain in and of itself. They must literally have mountains of these boxes unsold if they are offering such a discounted price.
To answer Brian's question about the iPAd, the answer is yes...but you will probably want a better PDF reader than iBooks which is the iPad standard. I use Cloudreaders, which is free and specifically designed for reading comics in a variety of formats including PDF. I bought the Spiderman collection on CD Rom (long before I had an iPad) and the spinning of the CD in the drive bugged the
holy heck out of me while I was trying to read, so I ripped everything off the disc to my hard drive with no problem. If it is anything like those then these should not be locked to the disc.

GoodReader is another PDF reader as well, but I'll have to check that app out. Except that its iPad only nvm me.

Ok so I got the DVD and I was able to copy the comics to my Dropbox account and then view them on my PDF readers so they aren't locked, and the DVD is still on sale so I recommend getting them :)
