Remember a while back when I said I wasn’t gonna go nuts and start reading Trek books and Trek comics? Well, I guess I fibbed a bit. ‘Cause this just looked too cool and you can read it in, like, 1.5 subway rides.
This is the origin of Captain Sulu on the Excelsior – midway between the Fifth and Sixth movie.
It’s fun to watch Sulu settle in to the Captain’s seat (with Janice Rand as X.O.) and to watch how the Enterprise is involved in his first adventure. The adventure itself is kinda baffling and unthrilling (something to do with two races of lizard creatures who don’t like each other or something) but that is no matter. The net result is fun and it is great to pretend that there are more Trek movies out there. This book is the collection of the DC “TOS 2” comics #35-#40.
