Another Mission's End Review
The colors: John Hunt continues a colorful book for everyone's enjoyment. Using again the first two pages, colors are limited and slowly expand as the scene grows, until the chaos outside increases the brightness of color. I like how "empty" backgrounds are given the vivid 60's television coloring that I enjoy, as seen in the final panels on Page 3. This bright use of colors continues even when the setting goes underground...until "something" gets activated. The interiors of the Enterprise and its crews' quarters also gets the 60's treatment. For a book that takes place primarily on the Enterprise there is a great amount of coloring that's a nice contrast to the darkness that's been seen in other Trek books. Overall grade: A+
And here are a few pages from the final issue.

Words of praise
From Trekweb.com:
The colors: Okay, so for the two previous reviews I've mentioned the earth-toned look. This time it's a huge leap forward: this issue is busting out with colors! I don't know if it's because there are more Starfleet uniforms in this issue than the previous issues that's increased the palate, but I felt this issue to be vivid. The greens seemed greener (Page 1) and the reds (shirts) seemed redder. The balcony scene also gave John Hunt opportunities that he hasn't had. Even underground with the centipedes seemed bright. And when electricity starts flying about in the end, the colors reacted to it. Would it destroy anyone's reading if I said it made the book "pretty"? And I say that in the most manly way possible. Way to go Mr. Hunt! Overall grade: A+
and from Trekmovie.com:
The colors jump out off the page bringing a lot of life to the page due to John Hunt’s work. One thing that really struck me was the use of sunlight beams coming through the jungle overhead, something that is not obvious until you look at the panels closely.
