I have never been a huge fan of Star Trek comics to begin with, but I am just not a fan of this. Especially when they usually have to come up with a pretty convoluted reason for why those two universes crossed paths when they definitely should not have. But mainly, it just feels like a lazy way to avoid coming up with more stories that are just Star Trek stories.

After all, it's much easier to come up with "what happens if Spock fights Wolverine" than "what happens when the crew go down to a completely unexplored alien planet and encounter a problem they haven't encountered before, so it takes an effort to fix it." But the latter is Star Trek.

I guess to me, it feels like they're doing it because they can, not because they should.

Not everything has to be done for a reason. Sometimes it's just nice to have something silly and fun.

That's fine, and if people like it (and they apparently do), I'm happy for them. I was just explaining my issue with it.

Comics in general these days seem to be either lazy or really complex and rarely ever anything in between.
