Hmm...
not as good as the others.
But maybe this is because the whole deadly virus pandemic hits too close to home?

I continue to like the artwork, this is drawn well, you recognize the characters and also their characterization is spot on. What I really appreciate is in this series is that all characters, including side characters like Sulu and Chekov, get their chance to shine. It is not just a Kirk/ Spock centered series, but includes the whole of the TOS crew.
However, I feel that this installment is much more rushed than the early ones in this series. Maybe because they have to rush to have the story told? The plot would really have benefited if if had more room to breathe.
The plot just rushes along, and we never have a chance to take everything in before we move on.

Great - but bittersweet.......

.....because this series will be ending soon. There may be (at most) two or so.issues left before the line ends. Sad because I really have enjoyed these issues. Five *****'s for this particular graphic novel, though.

Star Trek OS series graphic



Part two of the story started in #18
A McCoy centric story nicely plotted art work is good.
Quick easy read
