Trekker is awesome for her history, but more awesome because the story and art are always top notch.

Ron's amazing Space Opera series never stops being good.

I have mixed feelings about this. There is a complex and powerful female character, which is nice, but I feel like the way she is drawn is kind of objectifying, which undercuts the characterization somewhat. This is a common issue, which oddly has not reconciled me to it. Pencils are nonetheless well-done.
There are two stories. The first, "The Train to Avalon Bay" covers familiar territory, with most of the twists being pretty visible. The final resolution is well handled though, and the inks are absolutely gorgeous. The subtle things like how the characters look without makeup and with evening makeup are really beautifully rendered. Kudos to Jeremy Colwell on that.
The second, "City of the Dead", teams Mercy up with Johnny Zombie, and other than one page of exposition is all action, and kind of amazing for that. Great action, and the art feels less sexist which is much appreciated.
It ends with a pinups section, which sounds like it would be more objectification, but was a pleasant surprise as different artists did their own renderings of Mercy. It was cook seeing how their diverse styles treated the same character. Great feature.

It's been quite a while since I've read any stories featuring TREKKER. It was nice to find this book and get reacquainted with an old friend.
The story really wasn't all that original, but it was a well told tale.
Ron Randall draws some pretty ladies, but is also good with pacing and overall storytelling.
Colors by Jeremy Coldwell are a perfect match for the art.
Also, fun back up story that features Karl Kesel's JOHNNY ZOMBIE.
Toss in a handful of pinups, and you got a solid read.
