Product Description: The Voyage of the Starship Enterprise Continues...TOKYOPOP delivers new manga-style stories of the classic U.S.S. Enterprise crew in this third installment of the Star Trek the manga series. In Uchu: David Gerrold (writer of the famous "Trouble with Tribbles" episode) brings us a rumpus on the Enterprise as the mysterious, teddy bear-like creature Bandi runs amok with a pretty virulent vibes. Wil Wheaton returns with a Klingon confrontation that may test Kirk's resolute hatred of them. Nathaniel Bowden brings us a society in which bureaucrats run wild. And Luis Reyes tries to glimpse the softer side of Spock. Stories include: Art of War (Story by Wil Wheaton and Art by E.J. Su), Inalienable Rights (Story by Nathaniel Bowden and Art by Heidi Arhnold), Bandi (Story by David Gerrold and Art by Don Hudson), and The Humanitarian (Story by Luis Reyes and Art by Nate Watson)
Are These Fan Stories? There are five short stories and each one is created by a different writer and artist. I accept that the art and writing styles will vary from story to story. However, I expect a good standard for the writing and the art. Most of these stories seem like they were done by amateur fans.
The first and last story had good art and the stories were interesting. It bugged me on the last story how the captions were some times placed on the wrong characters. There is one story where Kirk is hugging a teddy bear and hearts and rainbows are floating all around. When I hit that scene, I almost quit reading the book.
If there is a fourth book, I'll think twice about getting it.
