Star Trek Comics

Excellent "pane-panning". Zoom in on a pane, and swipe pane to pane to read comics the way they are meant to be read! Nice. Good comic books available to us Trekkies too. Thanks gents.

It is a very good get Star Trek comics

I've been reading since the app launched. I've switched iPhones twice and bought an iPad and been through tons of updates and I still have every comic I've ever purchased.

The app description makes it sound like there are free comix, but if so you evidently have to buy some first. All I ever got from this "free" app was a sort of storefront to buy comics (which I did not). Gave it 2 stars only because the storefront looks nice, and it may be a great app for all I know, but it is NOT free.

Maybe I'm just lucky but I haven't experienced any of the problems others have reported. Comics download fine. I had to restore my phone once (because of a problem unrelated to this app) and when I tried to restore ally purchases, they downloaded again with no trouble. Anyhow, I was wary of trying to read comics on my tiny iPhone 4, but the way IDW's app moves from panel to panel as I swipe makes it enjoyable. It feels more like a cross between watching animation (or more accurately a flip book) and reading, than reading sequential art... Which is ok with me since this is based on something I've always watched ad live action. This is a lot easier and more fun to read than other comics apps that show a full page and force me to pinch, zoom and move the page around in order to read anything. As for the stories themselves, Year Four is a good continuation of TOS, and Missions End is worth reading if only for the final few panels, which pretty well bridges TOS and the first motion picture. John Byrne's series were all great (with the possible exception of Assignment Earth, which didn't really grab me). And Star Trek Ongoing is a good read for fans of the Abrams '09 reboot.
