Written by Mike Johnson, with art and cover by Erfan Fajar, Star Trek: Volume 7 will be one hundred-and-four pages long, and will sell for $17.99.
About The Author
Gold Key #1-6 weren’t written by Kashdan and Drake–they were written by Dick Wood.
unless they redid all the art or dialogue ?
No, it’s a case of IDW getting the names wrong. Kashdan and Drake wrote later issues in the series.
Ahh ok
Are these comics, post STID, an indication of what we can expect in the next movie? My frustration level just increases. I welcome the interaction with the Klingon, but some of the personal interaction within the crew is abysmal. Kirk refers to Marcus as Carol, now. Is he tapping a crewmember? When was the character growth suppose to start?
