TRexx 0 Posted August 7, 2006 The first volume of Star Trek: The Manga is titled "Shinsei Shinsei", comprised of five new Original Series stories... TokyoPop editor Luis Reyes said he's worried that TOS purists won't approve of highly stylized interpretations of the famous characters: "I'm a fan," Reyes said at Comic-Con, but the manga-ka was warned by Star Trek executives, "Those fans will kill you." CBS Consumer Products Executive Paula Block is said to have helped keep the manga in line with fan expectations, insisting that Reyes eliminate beads of sweat drawn on Captain Kirk: "It's okay with Scotty, but Kirk wouldn't have freaked out like that." Sci-fi scribe Joshua Ortega teams up with illustrator Gregory Giovanni Johnson to create title Anything But Alone. There are four other tales, which include the origin of a major TNG foe: 'Til Death..., by writer Mike W. Barr and artist Jeong Mo Yang; Oban, by Jim Alexander and Michael J. Shelfer; Orphans, by Rob Tokar and EJ Su; and Side Effects, by Chris Dowes and Makoto Nakatsuka. This title can be ordered now for September shipment... * Amazon U.S.A. * Amazon United Kingdom * Amazon Canada * Amazon Deutschland * Amazon France -------------- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
