Are you finished with issue # 1, then, JB?

Anyway, I see what you were talking about previously. This series is keeping the look and feel of TOS, but it has a much bigger "budget". EVA scenes (and maybe even those snazzy spacesuits) would have been beyond the scope of what TOS was cabaple of depicting.

Great-looking page, JB!

I like how the corridor walls of the Fortune are much more textured than those of the original Enterprise, and yet the "plumbing" (for lack of a better word) is still reminiscent of what you'd see in the Enterprise corridors from time to time.  It definitely gives the sense of a design devolved from the TOS era, much as the exterior does.

JB: I've always liked your idea of (and forgive me if I'm not remembering the concept correctly, or expressing it quite right) a Star Trek anthology series, set on the ships of the Constitution-class, with the show rotating between vessels.  That seems like incredibly fertile ground for Star Trek storytelling: all these starships roaming the galaxy...each with a similar mission, all with the same basic setting, and yet with room for all kinds of characters to staff these various five-year missions.

If IDW gave you the opportunity, would you ever want to take, say, the Farragut or the Hood, and take her for a spin with your own JB-specific cast?

Sweet!

I don't suppose you'll tell us in advance which other Constitution-class ship we get to see (assuming one of those two is the Enterprise)?
