I noticed that the latest issue had quite a few larger panels, which worked very well for the more action-oriented story. I wonder if it's the start of a trend.
Spoilers IDW Star Trek - New Visions - John Byrne
- Thread starter Villordsutch
- Start date
Just have to share this: Byrne created a page that answers how Khan "remembered" Chekov in TWOK when we know Walter Koenig hadn't yet been cast as Chekov.
This didn't appear in any NEW VISIONS story (at least, not yet), but JB wanted to "scratch a thirty-odd year itch".
I think it's great!

JB has been playing with this since "Resistance", the Borg story. Also, some close-ups as well.
His issues feel like TOS, but are have comic pacing and "layout".
It won't appear in New Visions, as Ricardo Montalban is not one of the actors whose likeness Byrne is allowed to use.Just have to share this: Byrne created a page that answers how Khan "remembered" Chekov in TWOK when we know Walter Koenig hadn't yet been cast as Chekov.

I feel the same way, and always get a little annoyed when people call McCoy racist. I always assumed all of insults towards Spock were just him joking around and trying to get some kind of emotional reaction out of him.
True.
Plus the role of Khan was so iconic, even if his likeness was available seeing it re-used as another character could pull one out of the story.
I'm confused. You don't want more releases?
NEW VISIONS is on a somewhat "bi-monthly" schedule with some time gaps.
Sorry, the joke didn't carry. Still getting used to the new forum tech.
Aaah ... sorry, a little slow on the uptake.
Just got an email that my copy of the Humble Bundle mini-issue has shipped. I look forward to recieving it soon.
His intention was not to be racist. He just takes it for granted that Spock's ears are a prominent feature that he can use to tease/identify him with. In that way, it's almost moved beyond racism, where he doesn't regard it as a racial feature but just Spock's. It would be like if Spock called McCoy "Blue Eyes".
Exactly. Which is what I was trying to get across to Mr. Byrne before he dismissed me.
McCoy and Spock had been working together long enough by the point of "Arena" that Spock "tolerated" McCoy's emotional outbursts.
Now, we have never "seen" McCoy's first meeting/introduction to Mr. Spock; how soon after they met did McCoy first "zing" Spock with a wisecrack. What did Spock say or do that exasperated McCoy enough to start the verbal sparring?
That would be a tale ... .
Indeed. An awkward moment, to be sure.

According to the Goodman Kirk autobiography, Piper retired, and Kirk asked McCoy (whom he had known for some time) to join the Enterprise.
For me, personally, I always felt McCoy was there at the beginning, and Dr. Piper filled in (during "Where No Man Has Gone Before") while McCoy attended daughter Joanna's graduation from med school.
How did Kirk know/meet him?
Again, according to Goodman's "autobiography", McCoy was the medical officer on the U. S. S. Hotspur, which Kirk was assigned to and they became friendly.
Later Kirk assumed command of the Hotspur, and asked for his Academy roommate Gary Mitchell. Therefore, Kirk, Mitchell and McCoy are established as friends/friendly.
Oh, okay. Would my Spock/McCoy first meeting scenario be too cheesy?
Not really.
In the "turbolift" scenario, Spock may have given McCoy a dry, "pithy" reply like that. Or he may have ignored it at that point, waiting for a more face to face moment.

McCoy may have backed down from that, at least in a first meeting.
