Star Trek Spock: Reflections
Star Trek Spock: Reflections Graphic Novel Collection Volume 04 First appearing in 2009 as a four issue mini-series and released as a graphic novel collection from IDW at the start of the following year, the first thing to say about Spock: Reflections is that it is an enjoyable read. And yes, I’ll get to the ‘but’ in a moment. It is written by Scott Tipton and David Tipton, with layouts by David Messina and inked by...
Star Trek: The Next Generation – Hive

His films have in the main continued to hold their own financially (or in the case of that execrable turkey The Last Airbender, a damned sight more than hold its...
Star Trek : The City on the Edge of Forever
Star Trek Harlan Ellison®’s The City on the Edge of Forever The Original Teleplay Sooooo…here we have the second volume in the Eaglemoss Collection of Star Trek graphic novels. Their initial one – Countdown, reviewed on this blog – was an absolute cracker. And with the second outing carrying that title I was all set to be writing that this was even better. The overall package and presentation is indeed once again simply...
