BONUS REVIEW by James Honey
When, oh when, oh when will a STAR TREK series get a decent artist? The series concept is sound; “The adventures of the Starship Enterprise continue with the new cast from the film as they embark on missions that re-imagine select stories from the original television series, along with new threats and characters never seen before”. However, Molnar’s visual style is unbalanced and almost, well, you’ve heard of Cubism? I’d call his Bubblism. Admittedly, it’s hard to find an artist that can bring depth to a panel AND be excellent at caricature (even John Byrne, with his ‘Crew’ and ‘Assignment Earth’ minis, confesses that likenesses elude him). Still, the writing is good and the art bearable. Essentially I’m saying that this STAR TREK, is better than NO STAR TREK.
