Loved this one! Showed quick backstories of main enterprise crew that were super cute or added to their character. My only gripes were the added Sphura 🤢 and that I don’t love Balboni’s art style.

This is a collection of origin stories. Except for a few research mistakes (like McCoy here being from Mississippi instead of Georgia) this is fine. Nothing too adventurous or dark and also no screwing up with TOS stories this time around.

I could be done with the little character vignettes now.

Another solid volume. I liked the insight provided into the background of the core crew.

I brought this because it was on sale, but more importantly because it has Uhura on the cover. When I was a kid and watching OST in re-runs, I loved Uhura. I wanted to be Uhura. The only other woman of note was Chapel, and all Chapel seemed to do was moon over Spock. Uhura did things. (Yeah, I know Rand, but really, c'mon).

Nichelle Nichols is awesome.

Zoe Saldana does a damn fine job as Uhura, and the reboot #3 is awesome, so go away.

This edition gives you back stories for Bones, Uhura, Scotty, Sulu, and Chekhov, at least in the Kelvin timeline. It was a fun read. The Uhura story was good. Enjoyable.

Disappointing. There were no real insights.
