I really like the idea behind that tribute cover, but the execution leaves something to be desired. The likeness of some of the characters are just off enough that the best thing you can say about them is at least you know they weren't traced. Pike, Number One, and Ortegas specifically are kinda busted.
Fortunately Angel Hernandez is doing the interior art, and his work on Star Trek: Year Five was pretty great.
The main current Star Trek title has been a lot of fun, as has Defiant. The ST:TMP follow-up book hasn't been as good. Sometimes the characters don't look much like the actors. Still, IDW has been doing a good job overall with Trek, so I'm absolutely going to give this new one a chance.
