Star Trek: Marvel Comics Part 3

Star Trek Graphic Novel Collection #40

by Martin Pasko, Mike W. Barr, Michael Fleisher

Marvel's Star Trek comic run follows the U.S.S. Enterprise's journey after the events of Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

Admiral James T. Kirk and his crew continue their second five-year mission to explore the galaxy. They come upon a peculiar planet with pyramids and mummies, go undercover as prison guards, face creatures of legends, and struggle to save a planet from toxic waste.

In the final issues, Kirk and Spock have an adventure of the mind that alludes to Gene Roddenberry's novelization of The Motion Picture- a fitting end to the comic series.

Reviews

[Keith Bloomfield]

You can really feel how limited the Marvel writers were by the strange decision to only allow them to use material seen in TMP with little to no reference to the original show as familiar tropes appear again and again. Still a fun read but once again hobbled by the truly awful reproduction work done at Eaglemoss. They should be ashamed to package this together and then charge you £10 for the pleasure. What would have been a great double page spread in the Gold Key reprint is ruined by being split and printed on a page turn. If you are at all interested in the Marvel Star Trek comics I’d say this is a last resort to read them if you can’t obtain the original Marvel issues themselves.
