3.0
This is a much easier way to read a serial newspaper comic story than a little each day. The stories were fairly simple for this reason. The reader has to be able to follow on a daily basis.
What I liked:
Some interesting story ideas that could be developed into good episodes.
The writer captured the character personalities fairly well.
What I didn't like:
Monday's were usually a rehash of Sunday. At first it was almost a black and white reprint of the last three panels from Sunday. They did get better toward the end of the book, as the author found creative ways to refresh the plot in a less repetitive way.
Later comics tried to phonetically reproduce Chekov and Scotty's accents in a way that made reading more annoying than adding to the flavor.
I gave this a three because I did enjoy the stories. Probably more from a nostalgic reading. Not worth buying, from my perspective, but was glad to get it from the library. There is apparently a second volume. Should I see it in the library, I'll borrow it, but this volume wasn't good enough to spend much effort trying to find the second, in my opinion.
