I've only seen a small number of these. I have somewhere a special double issue reprint they released, first one was the one with Kirk meeting his double then having to battle him and his Enterprise, second part was where this big round ship thing was attacking this one planet. I'll be looking to pick up this reprint book thing too, just hope they didn't churn out stories and artwork as bad as the Marvel run after TMP which basicly went from ok to bad to worse.

I have most of these comics already, but I'll be buying these editions too, just to support the project. The art in the early issues was a little rough, perhaps due to the artist's unfamiliarity with the show. In at least one issue the artist had rocket exhaust shooting out of the Enterprise's nacelles, or maybe it was the shuttlebay. The later issues had some beautiful art by Al McWilliams (Think Alex Raymond's Flash Gordon or any of Al Williamson's sci-fi stories for EC and others.). I just hope they don't reduce the art to a muddy, murky mess with a lot of "modern style" computer coloring. The stories could be simplistic at times, but they were still entertaining in the same odd way that some of the early Bantam novels could be.

Is this like the final nails in the coffin before Paramount totally jettisons Trek into oblivion until 2020 when an aging Ashton Kutcher is signed on to recreate the TOS role of Captain Kirk?

Excellent. I've got some of these, and they were pretty bad, but I'd love to read more. I still remember the issue where the Enterprise crew had to fight mummies.
