Are top flight. I caught up with my backlogged reading stack the other day while recuperating from a bacterial infection that had been misdiagnosed as neck strain (!), and found the three Trek books my favorite reads of the bunch. They were:
-Star Trek Alien Spotlight: Borg
-Star Trek Year Four #6
-Star Trek: TNG: Intelligence Gathering#1
I was going to write little summaries, but didn't want to spoil anything for anyone who hadn't read the books. Great stuff. I can't recommend these books highly enough.
IDW also has the Joss Wheedon Angel property, and Doctor Who. They've done a tremendous take on the former, and I look forward to the latter, which takes place during season three of the current series.

Not terribly impressed I must say. I read the Borg spotlight and felt the ending was weak. I thought that if the entire causality of space time was being unravelled then picards logic (read soapbox rant) shouldnt have that potency. Another case of the borg being neutered. I read year 4 #1 and though it was very week. Seemed to be that events would have played out the same if just about any federation ship made contact with the planet...Does the series improve? That said I really enjoy IDW's transformers. Highly recommended.

Hey, that's why they make both chocolate AND vanilla ice-cream.
