Here the creators try for tense rather than action packed, with a tale of political intrigue as a coalition of alien races (the Klingons and an uncomfortably Iranian-esque fundamentalist species called Nasguls) attempt to have\u00c2\u00a0Captain Kirk\u00c2\u00a0thrown into prison.<\/p>\n<p>Things come to a head when the price on the Captain&#8217;s head leads the universe&#8217;s greatest bounty-hunter to attempt his capture &#8212; almost destroying the Enterprise in the process. Kirk voluntarily surrenders himself to end the constant disruption and naturally pulls a stunt that turns all those stacked tables against his foes. This stuff is pure classic Trek. The fans loved it then and will now. It&#8217;s also a very good example of how to do a licensed property in comic form and readers and wannabe creators should buy and take note.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u201e\u00a2 &amp; \u00c2\u00a9 2006 CBS Studios Inc.
