Summary:
"Space,
the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise, it's continuing mission to
explore strange new world, to seek out new life and new civilizations. To
boldly go where no one has gone before"....Into Manga! Join Captain Picard along with the crew of
the Enterprise
into the Manga universe, the ever Sci-Fi universe in a Japanese Manga style as
they discover new worlds, aliens and adventure.
Review: This
was an amusing Manga to read. Based on
the hit Sci-Fi TV series Star Trek: The
Next Generation, this book gives you 4 unique stories of it's crew and it's
adventures. In the world of science fiction, Manga artists and authors give
Star Trek a new look. I enjoy the fact
it kept in spirit of the Star Trek universe, characters, personalities and
story. The idea of exploring space and
finding and learning new places, aliens, cultures and views is the ultimate
dream of any futuristic pioneer.
As a fan of Star Trek and Manga/anime
I enjoy the blend of the two. It mixes
the science-fiction stories of Star Trek
with a twist of anime looks, style and a bit of humor as well. Manga and anime has it's fair share of sci-fi
stories, anything from robots, aliens to space armadas, it is a fits well with
a Manga version of Star Trek, I
almost wonder why it wasn't done sooner. This Star
Trek Manga is great for anyone who loves Sci-Fi or is an otaku.
