Having fabulous friends. :D

Yesterday, I got a package, and what is inside? A picture of Sulu and a TPB of Star Trek: The Mirror Universe Saga. To add awesome on top of this awesome? George Takei signed the comic cover. :D :D

See? )

So I'm a life-long Star Trek fan. One day, I went looking for comics. The most impressive thing I've found is published by IDW, who does a lot of comics based on TV shows and such. (You might know them from the most excellent Zombies vs. Robots.) Star Trek: Year Four is 6-issue series, an attempt to continue with the original series by keeping the spirit and tone of the show. They do a most excellent job.



Cliches are kept, even some of Kirk's silly facial expressions and random uniform changes grace the adventures of the Enterprise.

Most of the art is by Steve Conley; and I think it's just perfect.

Can I get an autograph? )

Oh, Spock. :D

This series is finished, but, IDW has rights to publish all kinds of Star Trek comics; and they are. At the moment I'm following TNG: Intelligence Gathering and giving New Frontier a go. A Mirror Universe comic is planned (woo woo!) as well as a follow-up to the episode "The Enterprise Experiment" and other things. Good stuff.
