Star Trek/Legion of Super-Heroes Vol. 1

At times though, the Trek crew looked as young as the League members late teens or early twenties. This was most common with Kirk. Like most good cross company, time travelling crossovers, once the problem was fixed, everyone forgot everything so no continuities were harmed. May 17, Jordan Steinhoff rated it it was amazing Shelves: I was very pleasantly surprised by this series.

Usually cross property comic team ups like this are pretty bad. I'm looking at you ST: This, however, was really quite good. There is the standard moment where both sets of heroes fight each other for a while, then realize they are not the others villains and proceed with the rest of the story. There are some really good mash ups of both the Trek and Legion universes.

A really great Fatal Five made up of Trek races. A Gorn as The Persuader. A I was very pleasantly surprised by this series. An Orion woman as the Emerald Empress.

The choice of villain is clever as well as he really does fit the bill for a character from both TOS and DCU that could, in each universe's lore, really be doing what he's done in this mini. One of the alternate covers for issue 3 i think Is Kirk centered in all the women of the Legion. Took me a second to get the joke there but when I did, I laughed. There are a couple other 'Kirking it' moments as well.

Overall, this is a really fun read and stands out as an actually good story in the wasteland of modern hero comics. Mar 13, Jean-Pierre Vidrine rated it it was amazing. This is definitely the most logical Star Trek superhero mix that could ever happen. It certainly makes more sense than the X-Men crossovers of he '90s. It could have gone wrong, it could have been silly, but it didn't and it wasn't.

Chris Roberson makes great use of Star Trek's and DC's history, mining them both exhaustively and blending them together. And the revelation s of the villain s here genuinel This is definitely the most logical Star Trek superhero mix that could ever happen. And the revelation s of the villain s here genuinely surprised me. I was expecting one thing, and I got it. Jeffrey Moy's artwork is excellent as he not only captures accurately, but reimagines the familiar trappings of the world of Star Trek.

I can't tell you what excitement I felt seeing characters, races, and concepts from DC's rich history of science fiction blend in flawlessly with everything Star Trek. This is, quite probably, the greatest use of Star Trek; not only in comic books, but in any medium. Truly, there were no limits here.

Apr 10, David Palazzolo rated it really liked it. I have to admit I was a little surprised IDW and DC Comics did not get Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning as writers given their history with both continuities, but their choice of creative teams proved to be far more than adequate. Chris Robeson did a good job in bringing together two wildly different groups of characters with mutually exclusive histories, then placed them into a setting that made use of Trek and LSH lore in inventive ways.

His work felt rushed in places, but overall was enjoyable. My major problem with this series is that it was not long enough. I would have enjoyed a 12 issue limited series much more. I hold out hopes for a sequel.

Jul 13, Mark rated it really liked it Shelves: Chris Roberson did an outstanding job melding Star Trek and Legion lore. The artwork by the Moy brothers was equal to the story. I reviewed the individual issues over at TrekMovie. May 02, Aron rated it really liked it Shelves: I've never read any Legion of Superhero's stuff so I really didn't know what to expect.

What I got was a nice, fun story that incorporated the two franchises in a believable way. The only thing that bothered me was the fact that while the art was good the likeness of the characters wasn't captured very well, but that was the only negative for me. Dec 07, Charles rated it liked it Shelves: I know absolutely nothing about the legion of superheroes but the Star Trek characterizations in this were pretty spot on.

In general, the story was interesting and the art was quite good. I'm not a huge fan of superheroes so I didn't care that much for those characters. There probably wasn't quite as much action as I expected. Jul 13, Steven rated it really liked it Shelves: Liked this a lot more than expected, though the two universes don't mesh all that cleanly. Still, a fun exercise in playing with two decidedly different sandboxes to see what happens. Jun 09, M Christopher rated it liked it Shelves: I really needed some mindless fun yesterday afternoon.

My year old self would have been thrilled by this mash-up of Jim Kirk's crew and the Legion. My year old self was mildly amused. Jan 02, Patrick rated it liked it Shelves: A fun little read, but far from great. But if you are not, I doubt there is anything for you in these pages. Oct 18, Hannah Givens rated it liked it Shelves: Characterization is shallow at best, "Kirk being gross to Shadow Lass" at worst. The plot is similarly shallow for the most part, and the characters don't get to interact on a substantive level. Also the covers, while sometimes beautiful especially in the gallery at the end generally show the bridge crew with a whole complement of Legionnaires, even though only a few of them are actually in the story.

I love the idea of putting both sets of heroes into a new timeline they do The bad: I love the idea of putting both sets of heroes into a new timeline they don't recognize, a corruption of both universes. I also loved how the villain played into that structure. The volume is also really nicely made, a pleasure to hold and read. Mar 26, Martin Maenza rated it liked it Shelves: I liked the artwork but the story was a bit weak shame as I am a fan of both of these sci-if franchises.

I felt the writer, Chris Roberson, did a nice job capturing the personalities of the Star Trek characters, and enjoyed the story. Jan 07, Trekscribbler rated it it was ok.

Crossovers are not always an easy sell. What might look like a stroke of genius bringing two separate worlds together on the face of it could just as easily backfire, leaving a blemish or a stink on both universes. Thankfully, most writers who undertake such a complex task know more than a little bit about both sides of the intended crossover, and this greatly helps facilitate not only the reality of what such a story would, could, and should look like but also it helps suitably iron out the w Crossovers are not always an easy sell.

Thankfully, most writers who undertake such a complex task know more than a little bit about both sides of the intended crossover, and this greatly helps facilitate not only the reality of what such a story would, could, and should look like but also it helps suitably iron out the wrinkles of how to get all characters back to where they belong.

The following review will contain minor spoilers necessary solely for the discussion of character and plot. Kirk and the crew of the Starship Enterprise are no strangers to time travel or inter-dimensional travel. Nor are any of the champions serving the Legion of Super-Heroes. When a freak transporter accident AND the collapse of a bubble-craft traveling through space-time coincide at just the right or wrong!

Only by seeking out and finding one another can they hope to survive the resulting chaos of their displacement into a completely new universe, and only by cooperating can they hope to separate this new timeline back into separate entities so that they can return home! Why do I say that? Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Uhura, Sulu, and Chekov come alive — at least as much as they have in any other comic book incarnation. The story is by Chris Roberson; and the artwork is by Jeffrey Moy.

Dec 21, Shawn Russell rated it it was amazing Shelves: Wasn't sure what to expect going into it, but I was pleasantly surprised by it! Dec 06, Doctor Doom rated it really liked it. Jun 05, Fizzgig76 rated it really liked it Shelves: With aspects that resemble both of their worlds, the universe finds themselves at the mercy of the Imperial Planets run by a mysterious leader. Now the Legion and the members of Starfleet must work together if they hope to right the universe and return to their own times. The series was released to positive reviews and has been collected. Most of these crossover series are honestly pretty weak.

The reason behind the story and the solution seems quite viable in the world of Star Trek and the world of the Legion. I have to say that I do like the aspect of the story which causes the break. Q is revealed to be the source of the problem and this not only ties in the original Star Trek but also Star Trek: The Next Generation and creates a realistic reason for all occurrences. Plus, I always loved Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes with Q so it was a bonus for me to have him show up. It is also commendable job for Jeffrey Moy who did the art. He does a good job in this sense to keep the feel of Star Trek and the feel of the Legion.

Jun 28, Kate rated it really liked it. I had a surprising amount of fun with this one. I'm more than familiar with Star Trek but I've never heard of the Legion of Superheroes but given what both sides learn about each other when they meet it's a kind of cool team up. Kirk and company area heading to San Francisco so Kirk can give a commencement address and the Legion is just popping back home after a trip.

Both hit the same temporal anomaly and end up in another universe which is, many times over, stated as being worse than Star Trek I had a surprising amount of fun with this one. Both hit the same temporal anomaly and end up in another universe which is, many times over, stated as being worse than Star Trek's Mirror Universe. I thought the Legion worked well with the Enterprise crew, and it seems that there are lot of similar personalities types here so you could see people paring off with counterparts but also butting heads.

I couldn't appreciate much the the tie in with the villain but from what I could understand it seemed to work just fine. The only thing that kept nagging at me was Kirk's hitting on one of the female Legionaries.

Star Trek/Legion of Super-Heroes Vol. 1

Kirk's reputation as a ladykiller is much more blown up than it really was in the original series and having him making a pass more than once after being told no the first time was a little jarring. Overall though this could have been bad and silly and was instead a rather fun read. Every character had their moment and stood out, which is no easy feat considering how many characters there are here.

May 22, Sara Thompson rated it it was ok Shelves: How fun does this sound — mixing Star Trek with DC superheroes. I just knew I had to sample this new comic series. I have to say I was disappointed.

The story opens with the Imperial forces is that really what they were called? Then the introductions to the Legion of Superheroes left me uninspired. Why are there no cool superheroes in the legion? Perhaps these are the flunkies that get the worst assignments but with names like Cham How fun does this sound — mixing Star Trek with DC superheroes.

Perhaps these are the flunkies that get the worst assignments but with names like Chameleon Boy and Brainy I can see why. I wanted something cool. I loved the description of this story — who could resist the mash up of superheroes and Star Trek? I found the whole thing far too cartoony. Maybe they are going for a sixties nostalgic feel — a combination of Hanna Barbara and the over the top Star Trek series. As it was the Star Trek characters resembled poorly drawn versions from the television show.
