I just downloaded the first three prequels on my ipod touch! WOW! Great stuff. It's well written and illustrated.

Must be some small print. Do they display it one panel at a time?

Where did you get it, Rick?

yes, they do one panel at a time in brilliant shiny color! It really looks nice on my ipod touch, remember it has a fairly big screen. I got on my ipod, selected apps and searched for Star Trek Prequel. And there it was! Nice!

I downloaded each book for 99 cents. That's a deal!

I second that! Caught you talking about it on Twitter and I had to check it out.

They look great on the Touch and the panel system works VERY well. This has saved me a lot of money and I don't have to wait for the trade paperback.

On the UK store they are 59p each so the whole collection will only cost me a shade over £2 which is fantastic.

Search for 'iverse' on the app store as they have quite a few different comics on there.

I just checked out the free preview of the first Farscape comic to see what it looked like.

Now I'm off to get the Trek ones.

For anyone who cares the trade omnibus is being released ahead of the last issue. My copy was shipped from Amazon yesterday. I can't wait!

I downloaded these a while ago and am only now reading them

I'm halfway through the second and...WOW. I'm loving this!

moyer777 · March 27, 2009, 10:27:15 AM

yes, it's very good stuff! I am very impressed.

It's good stuff. I hope that some of the TNG stuff will make it into the film, at least in reference.

Feathers · March 28, 2009, 02:46:27 PM

That would be good but somehow I doubt it.

I don't know, man. ;)

[spoiler] The Romulan stuff is essential to the plot of the film. It would almost be more difficult to leave the TNG characters and their role in events out of the story than to include them. I'm not talking about having the actual characters in the story, mind you (but that would be AWESOME). I'm referring to there being some mention of them. It would kick butt if the part of the film taking place in the TNG era had some reference to the existence of Picard, Data, or the Enterprise E. Perhaps they could have Nero or Spock mention Captain Data or Picard by name. [/spoiler]

Meds · March 28, 2009, 03:35:42 PM

Now i'm a bit lost and i'm sure someone can enlighten me here. Captain data? how did that happen?

wraith1701 · March 28, 2009, 04:06:59 PM

It's pretty much what you'd imagine. [spoiler] As was hinted at the end of Nemesis, Data's attempt to transfer his personality & memories into B-4 eventually panned out. After Picard moves on to become an ambassador, the reborn Data gets promoted to Captain of the Enterprise E. Data, the Enterprise, and other TNG era characters play a role in the events that lead to Nero's attempt to go back in time and alter the timeline. [/spoiler]
