I like the concept of stories featuring the various alien species in the Star Trek universe. Overall the stories were entertaining. Some showed a different side of one not previously seen. Others accentuated what was already known.

The artworks make known characters utterly unrecognizable, the basic tone of those comics is one of xenophobia within the Federation, the Borg comic makes no sense at all (honestly, people, ever heard of temporal logic?) and the Romulan comic includes a style that was often used to caricature Asians. Though it’s not clear if the Praetor is supposed to be the Romulan version of asian, the style he’s drawn in has a racist background and therefore should have no place within Trek comics.

My only complaint is that it's too short. Great art and stories. Recommended for Trekkies.

A mixed bag with wildly uneven art and story telling. I particularly enjoyed the Pike/Orion story and the Next Feb Borg tale.
