Uninspiring retread of two TOS episodes, using the new 2009 cast and ship instead of the originals. Aside from a few small details, you might as well just rewatch the original versions of "Where No Man Has Gone Before" and "The Galileo Seven."This is exactly why I don't want to see the next movie feature Khan, the Guardian of Forever, tribbles, or any other plot that Shatner's crew has already tackled. Boldly go where no TOS episode has gone before!

I’m not a big TOS fan ( in any timeline) but I have watched the series and the first two Kelvin movies. This was really good. I remembered the tv series version and I kinda like the new actors. I will probably read more. It’s just good.

This volume is two stories based on original Star Trek stories. If you know the plots of those, you know where things are going to go. It's not bad. Enjoyable. Some nice little twists.

"Chief engineer's log: star-date 2258.25 . . . or .26? Does anyone actually listen to these things?" - Lt. Cmdr. Montgomery 'Scotty' Scott, U.S.S. EnterpriseStar Trek: Vol. 1 borrows its plotting from two episodes shown in the initial season (1966-1967) of the original TV series, and adapts them into graphic novel form BUT uses the likenesses of the performers who starred in the recently rebooted movie series (2009-2016). 'Where No Man Has Gone Before' features a crew member - a old friend and c...

My rating might be a bit biased since I adore Star Trek the Original Series and the rebooted films (basically anything with Kirk and Spock in it). However this was fun and the artwork was brilliant. The plot lines may have been a bit simplistic for anyone who isn't already familiar with the two episodes of the Original Series that these are based on but I think they are still understandable.

Nothing says “I hate Star Trek fans” like handing over a comics book franchise to new Trek scribe Roberto Orci in any way, shape, or form. In case you’re unaware, Orci is one of the many writers attached to the scripts in the JJ Abrams’ version of STAR TREK (the rebooted movies STAR TREK and STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS which should’ve been called STAR TREK INTO DUMBNESS); and, when asked, he’s almost rabid in his hatred for the franchise’s longest, smartest, most loyal and most vocal fans. In one pr...

It's decent. I like decent! This comic has got purdy drawings of the hot people from the movie. I'm so much more a fan of the reboot than any other star trek franchise. I can't wait for the sequel. Benedict Cumberbatch OMG. OMG will there be comics with Benedict Cumberbatch in them? I'll buy all the toys too. Please please please make me ridiculous stuff to buy. I even ate Burger King to get toys and glasses. BURGER KING! That food is disgusting and I bought it and ate it for the opportunity to

This is a very good graphic novel set between the first two new Star Trek movies. I'm glad that each character looks, sounds, and behaves like the classic characters I've come to enjoy in the new movies. I can hear the voices of the actors from the movies. Plus, it's quite cinematic story.

I’ve loved Star Trek practically my whole life. I grew up watching re-runs of the original series (Next Generation is my favorite!) I’ve also watched all of the movies (old and new) and about 6 of the 8 tv shows….so I would consider myself a fan! Lol😂 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️4/5If you enjoy the most recent movie adaptation (Chris Pine, Zoe Saldana, Bruce Greenwood) I believe you will enjoy this series! It was great to see some of my favorite characters again and I could just hear their witty banter in my head a...

Time to re-read and read some Star Trek Comics. Star Trek Ongoing Volume 1, from IDW (2012), written by Mike Johnson, art by Stephen Molnar and Joe Phillips, collects issue #1-4 of the ongoing series following the crew of the USS Enterprise of the Kelvin timeline, introduced by the first J.J. Abrams movie. The comic series is supervised by Roberto Orci. The first issues of the ongoing IDW Kelvin series are intriguing, as the crew of the particular version of the Enterprise encounters events we a...

What a lot of good fun! I’m a fake Trekkie because I’ve only watched the new movies, but I loved the adventures that took place here in this trade. Sometimes it was weird seeing Jim with brown eyes because Chris Pine’s shocking blue eyes are one of his defining features of not THE defining feature, but I had a good time nonetheless. I look forward to reading more!

An interesting project, this collection takes old classic Star Trek stories and updates and merges them with the "new" Captain Kirk and crew from the 2009 Star Trek movie. Adapts two classic episodes, "Where No Man Has Gone Before" and "The Galileo Seven." I liked it, but more as interesting experiement than anything else. Good artwork, good writing. If you liked the 2009 movie, you may like this treatment of the characters and stories.

It may not be much, but it's a start. This volume has two independent stories that add little to overall storyline or status quo - very much like the early TNG episodes. Still, the feel of the stories is spot on Star Trek with plenty of preparation and camaradery, action and even love. The crew seem to trust other after only their first year together. Even if I'm not properly hooked to the series yet, good things are on the horizon.The Enterprise detects a distress call from the Valiant, a 200-y...

Plot: This is a new in-between comic book series that takes place after the 2009 Star Trek movie, but before the sequel film due out in 2013. Because it's a serialized comic book, very little actually happens in this volume. It sets up the story arc with Captain Kirk and Spock, Scotty, Bones, etc. all continuing on with their space adventures post movie. The Enterprise is on its way to the edge of the galaxy when they encounter a ship that had apparently vanished 200 years earlier while on the s...

One of my GR buddies read some of this series recently. I read a lot of comics in the last two and a half years, so I thought I‘d give this a quick whirl before maybe picking up the next volume. Not sure why I thought more experience with graphic novels would make this better.This is one of the most unimaginative graphic novels I have ever picked up. What is the point? Usually a re-telling has some quirks or goes off on a new tangent. Sticking the faces of different actors into this does not cou...

Star Trek was my entry drug into the world of sci-fi. At 7 years old a repeat of the original series blew my mind and hooked me forever.Fast forward 40 years or so and the re-boot hit us. I preferred the re-boot of Star trek to the reboot of star Wars, the director and writer hit it exactly right. I had not minded the other films but this was brilliant. So what we have here is the comic adaption of the new series following the tales after that first film. In fact re-imagining some of the old epi...

If you enjoyed the 2009 Star Trek movie then you’ll find this to be a fun read. It’s Volume 1 of a series that picks up where the movie left off. I love reading these further adventures of Chris Pine’s Captain Kirk and his crew.

Prime reading from Amazon allows you to borrow books others would get via Kindle unlimited or buy. It has opened up new genres for me to dip into and meant I don’t have to purchase them.I have always loved Star Trek from its very first series of human based aliens and wobblily scenery.This graphic novel starts as Vol 1 with the original cast; freely draw and not meant to resemble the actors who played these characters. It is early in the life of Capt. Kirk’s command and the enterprise is only ju...

So these are stories from the original tv series, reimagined with the latest movie crew. It was a bit weird reading these stories with all the wrong faces... Even though the actors in the new movies manage to embody the originals rather well, it just doesn't work for me in graphic novel format. Not when it isn't in an original (new) storyline.That being said, the artwork is brilliant, the actors are recognizable in every single panel.

This is the first volume of the Star Trek comic series featuring the rebooted Enterprise crew from the 2009 film. Therefore in terms of continuity it is set just after "Star Trek" and quite a bit before "Star Trek Into Darkness". The volume contains two short stories, both are which are the rebooted versions of Original Series episodes. The first is "Where No Man Has Gone Before" and sees a new crew member become possessed by a great psychic force. It was a decent enough story although felt a li...
