STAR TREK: GOLD KEY ARCHIVES VOL. 5
STAR TREK WEEK This fifth volume from publisher IDW, reprinting the Star Trek Gold Key comics, finishes off the collection. As mentioned at the end, a few of the later issues of the comic were reprints themselves and IDW didn’t reprint the reprints. My first reaction is with the art and how it got better Continue reading

THE FIFTY-YEAR MISSION – Edward Gross & Mark A. Altman
STAR TREK WEEK Edward Gross and Mark Altman’s The Fifty-Year Mission is a really great look at the history of Star Trek, but not just as one person’s research or recollection, but from the memories and thoughts of hundreds of people who had a part in Star Trek (or were heavily influenced by Star Trek). Continue reading

STAR TREK: GOLD KEY ARCHIVES: VOL. 4 – graphic novel
STAR TREK WEEK Featuring issue numbers 19-24 we continue to look at the Gold Key Star Trek comics collection. The stories have gotten better – to the point where some of these stories could have been filmed episodes (and some of them feel like rip-offs of episodes). The art is still stunning, but often very Continue reading

STAR TREK: GOLD KEY ARCHIVES: VOLUME 3 – graphic novel
STAR TREK WEEK Star Trek. Comics. An absolute winner, right? Well… Gold Key Comics made the early gamble and purchased the rights to publish a comic book series based on the then new television program, Star Trek. The artists and writers during the first year of publication had actually never seen an episode of the Continue reading

STAR TREK: GOLD KEY ARCHIVES: VOLUME 2 – graphic novel
STAR TREK WEEK There isn’t much to say about this book. This is a collection of the Star Trek comics that were initially published in the early 1970’s by Gold Key Comics. The art is mostly pretty bad with the occasional panel looking like one of the TV show characters (usually when the panel was Continue reading

STAR TREK 1 – James Blish
STAR TREK WEEK I first read this book in the mid-to-late 1970’s. I was an early Trekkie. Youngsters today forget that there was no Netflix or Hulu or DVRs and we watched our favorite shows when they were being broadcast, and shows like Star Trek you could only see if your local station purchased the Continue reading

STAR TREK: GOLD KEY ARCHIVES VOL. 1 – graphic novel
I became a Star Trek fan in the early 1970’s (just after the regular broadcasts ended) and searched for anything Star Trek that I could get my hands on. The Gold Key Star Trek comics were one of the only ways for a teen to keep the Star Trek adventures alive back then. I’d heard that Continue reading

WILLFUL CHILD – Steven Erikson
I requested this book four years ago and over time I’ve forgotten what it might have been about so I began to read this ‘blind’. Lately I’ve also been interested in reading some humorous fiction, so imagine my delight to begin reading and discovering that this isn’t just a humorous story, it’s a parody that Continue reading

THE CITY ON THE EDGE OF FOREVER – Harlan Ellison
If you don’t know Harlan Ellison then you should correct that immediately by going out and reading some of his work. He’s an under-recognized, under-appreciated author – though certainly not for a lack of trying, as Harlan was often pretty vocal about his talent. One of Ellison’s biggest claim to fame was for writing the Continue reading

STAR TREK: STARFLEET ACADEMY – graphic novel
I don’t think I was expecting too much with this graphic novel. It appears to be targeted to a younger reading audience – those who still watch the Cartoon Network as well as the Star Trek movies and I thought the story might be so simple as to be almost laughable. But publisher IDW and Continue reading

HIDDEN UNIVERSE: STAR TREK: A TRAVEL GUIDE TO VULCAN – Dayton Ward
When you start to think that they really couldn’t come up with a new way to keep producing Star Trek merchandise, this fictional non-fiction travel guide pops up. And for the Trek fan who likes to own the slightly off-beat piece of memorabilia, this works. And I really loved this book. This isn’t going to Continue reading

RULES OF ACCUSATION – Paula M. Block and Terry J. Erdmann
There are a few genres for which the ebook novella seems perfectly suited, and Star Trek stories is one such genre. Though a fan of the Star Trek universe, I was not really a fan of the Deep Space Nine series in particular, and primarily because of the Ferengi characters. This book deals almost solely Continue reading
