Respect. I love to see people on this site who actually understand what it's like to create something themselves, rather than just tear down the work of others.

I´m glad you´re being able to watch the original Star Trek series. It´s essential viewing.

Meh. This seems like the type of crossover that would only interest those who have been reading and religiously keep track of those specific comic book series.

I haven't really been reading any STAR WARS comics, though I am currently in the middle of reading STAR WARS: AFTERMATH.
