I think I also would have liked the plot, but there's a ton of backstory I don't know (from a quick Google of the characters, it's at least all ten books and maybe some comics after that), so I was just confused most of the time and decided not to finish it. Might try again in the future if I ever get up to speed, but since the not-pervy Mars stuff is rare, I probably won't get that far....more

I also don't buy that there would be exact counterparts to Earth hominids. Either make it "similar" but not exact, or come up with a Planet of the Apes-style reason why it's the same, but not neither....more

A lot of the rest of it is basically nothing, with too many characters and art that looks rushed....more

The premise of this one is pretty wild, but I found it surprisingly readable, and a lot like a TOS episode would be. Maybe not one of the best (or least sexist) episodes, but still, not out of the realm of possibility. (I love TOS with all my heart soul and mind, but yes, this is how Chapel acts all the time, and this is how McCoy acts when he's attracted to a woman.) I hoped the revelation about why Katalya hates Vulcans would be unexpected, and it was not, but through a 60s-70s camp lens, I wasn't really offended. People do actually react like that, on a less obvious scale.
I liked the plot with the Arachnians, that much at least didn't go how I thought it would!...more
