    I've never been the biggest Star Trek fan (I've always liked Star Wars more).  I've seen the Star Trek manga before and have almost picked it up a couple times.  I'm wondering if anyone's actually read it before.  When I flipped through the one volume I saw, it didn't really look much different than a regular Star Trek comic book (which I usually avoid).  It just had the manga-style art but no other aspects of the culture.  It kind of felt like they were trying to make it a manga in order to appeal to the manga-reading crowd.

    Mania has posted that a "best of" edition of the original manga will be published on March 17 along with 16 colorized pages of "Side Effects."  The book jacket will also turn into a poster by the awesom Art Adams.  The stories were picked by the fans on Tokyopop.com.  It will also include:
     
    "Side Effects," "Orphans," and "'Til Death" (Shinsei Shinsei): "Forging Alliances" and "Communications Breakdown" (Kakan ni Shinkou): and "Art of War," "The Humanitarian," and "Bandi" (Uchu). Also included is a forward by David Gerrold and a preview of Star Trek: The Next Generation manga.

    Amazon lists it at 342 pages.  The list price is $19.99, but they're offering it for $13.59.  Doesn't seem too bad of a deal.  Even though I'm not that much into Star Trek, I am tempted to get this.  I just wonder if there's anything more to this than some nice art, is it just mediocre Star Trek stories with pretty pictures?
