    The main current Star Trek title has been a lot of fun, as has Defiant. The ST:TMP follow-up book hasn’t been as good. Sometimes the characters don’t look much like the actors. Still, IDW has been doing a good job overall with Trek, so I’m absolutely going to give this new one a chance.

      Thats probably because they don’t have the rights to use the actors likeness in those books, happens to comics a lot. Actors in the newer shows probably have rights to use their likeness in further material as part of the terms.

        They absolutely have the rights to the likenesses, and uses them frequently.

        It’s just the artist for that particular book draws them as if he half remembers a description he heard once.
