Good point Joby about many won't know this story anyway. Should be fun for them!

I thought it was good. I imagine alot of the audience for this hasn't ever seen the TOS episode this is based on and from that viewpoint I think it was well done. The first reveal of Gary with his powers is eerie and my favorite panel. Alot of my problems with the story are actually carried over from the new movie itself...like Spock and Uhura as a couple. I don't think I'll ever get used to that.

I went back and looked at that panel of Gary and I see what you mean. The Spock/Uhura thing doesn't really bug me since it is in an alternate universe. Looking foward to issue 2.

Haven't had the chance to read this yet but picked up #2 on Wed. I enjoyed the 1st issue so I think this one will be enjoyable as well. Check out the #2 cover.

This newest issue only served to annoy me further. It was very lazy that the included Delta Vega and ignore that it was already used in the film. It was a very lazy port of the episode.

Well, I suppose it could be like city or street names on Earth. There might be more than one planet named Delta Vega.

Here is the new Star Trek comic starting the alternate universe telling of "The Galileo Seven".

I just picked up the first three in ComiXology on my iPad (they had a sale going on the first one, and I decided what the hey, I'll pick up the other two), and these stories are fresh with this reselling. I enjoyed seeing the JJ TOS crew with the old TOS stories. Hope they get to do City on the Edge of Forever, that was always one of my favorites in the original series.

I have to say, IDW has done a bang-up job on Star Trek comics. The Alien Spotlight series is one of my favorite reads, and the John Byrne series are great. This new series is pretty neat, I would like to see more original story ideas though.

They will be doing some original stories to lead up to the movie in 2013. I don't know how early they will start it but they have plenty of time to figure it out. Still need to read both parts of The Galileo Seven books. I hope to catch up this weekend.

Well, I'm certainly interested to see where they go with original stories and what the kernels of infor for ST '13 are.

I need to get caught up on reading this series but I have gotten behind on most of my reading lately. Here are the last 2 issues of this series covering Operation: Annihilate. Issue #6 just came out on Leap Day.

I need to get that latest issue. Even though they are altering these original TOS stories somewhat, I hope they start some completely original tales soon.

WillEagle · March 03, 2012, 07:02:30 AM

According to Memory Alpha here are the next 3 books.
#7 - Vendetta Conspiracy - Part 1 - 3-21-12
#8 - Vendetta Conspiracy - Part 2 - 4-18-12
#9 - Return of the Archons - Part 1 - May 2012
So unless I missed an episode of TOS it looks like we got us an original 2 parter coming our way!!!!!
