"Star Trek #14 (Marvel Comics 1980-82)”


NOT WORTH CONSUMING

This very uninspired tale of Kirk being brainwashed by an alien entity and believing that he’s some Pharaoh/ God.

 Art is poor, color is uneven, and really, that’s what you think the Enterprise looks like?

"Star Trek #13 (Marvel Comics 1980-82)

WORTH CONSUMING!

 This may be my favorite comic book cover of all-time! Great use of light instead of shade, powerful detail, a classic Femme Fatale/ Pulp pose. Very retro- classic 70’s Marvel!
The story’s not bad either. But, then again, anything with the Klingon’s isn’t bad. This could have been a Trek episode- worth consuming!

What if... This Was the Fantastic Four? (Mike Wieringo Tribute, Autographed)


WORTH CONSUMING!


 Based on a 3 issue arc in the late 80’s in which Spidey, Ghost Rider, The Hulk and Logan were temporarily the FF, this story examines what if the line-up change was permanent.
I loved it. The best What if story I have ever read and my 2nd most favorite of all-time!
A tribute to the late Mike Wieringo, who was working on this story when he died suddenly. This issue is a limited edition book that is available only at select Comic Book Conventions and is autographed by 17 artists and writers who collaborated on finishing the work of Wieringo

"Star Trek #12 (Marvel Comics 1980-82)"


NOT WORTH CONSUMING!
Janice Rand marries a brain inside of a pyramid shaped jar, Jar goes crazy and endangers the Enterprise, and chaos ensues!
 What is this, a MST3K movie or Star Trek?
 I absolutely hate- Hate- HATE this issue. Worst comic book story of all-time (oops, I mean ever!)
NOT WORTH CONSUMING AT ALL! (and yes, I am yelling!)

"Star Trek #11 (Marvel Comics 1980-82)"



 NOT WORTH CONSUMING
I just don’t like storylines that focus on Scotty! Sorry! He’s a great secondary character, but he’s just boring in the lead role. I hated “Wolf in the Fold” and I hate “Relics”. Call me a traitor if you must, but this story just isn’t worth consuming!

"Star Trek #10 (Marvel Comics 1980-82)"


WORTH CONSUMING!

The cover is misleading. I thought Spock was gonna go primal like he does in “All Our Yesterdays”. Instead, it’s more like an ethical dilemma with Prime Directive aboard the “Galileo 7”.Very good story though. Art is a little choppy. Can’t anyone draw a decent Starship Enterprise?

"Star Trek #9 (Marvel Comics 1980-82)"

WORTH CONSUMING!

A derelict Ship, Ghosts Haunt the Enterprise, and a glimpse of the horrors of the early days of Transporter research abound in issue 9. It’s a really good story that I liked it a lot. The cover, not so memorable as I got this issue confused with one I really hate a while back!
