I finished reading DC Comics' second Star Trek series.
I'm sorry to say that, unlike DC's first crack at TOS, this one left me rather cold. The first twelve issues were pretty good, but after that the series became rather meh, with only a couple storylines scattered here and there standing out to me.
I suppose my two main gripes with this series are:
1. Too few stories focused on characters other than Kirk, Spock, and McCoy.
2. The lack of original recurring characters (I blame Paramount for this rather than the writers, though, as they're the ones who imposed this stupid rule on DC.).
Someone gave me a softcover collection of the DC run as a get well soon present once that had some great stories in it. Probably was a "best of". The Trial of Capt. Kirk storyline brought back a number of characters from various TOS episodes as witnesses.
I liked that TAS characters like M'ress appeared in the DC era, and there was a Horta crewmember at one point. Although I think the artist got them confused with the Tholians.
