Sulu will be even more pissed to realize that while he was...er....in a coma or something, they squeezed another five year mission with Kirk commanding the Excelsior between STIII-IV.
Somehow.
It would explain the refit on Excelsior between STIII -VI: they had to get the kirk-stink out of the ship (and the horrible stains-everywhere!)

Is that the series that began with the alt-Enterprise from "Mirror, Mirror" invading our universe? I had the first two issues of that.
And was it 5 years or nothing for Kirk? Hardly flexible, was he?

Kirk's flexibility varies with his waistline. TMP Kirk- anything goes. STV Kirk- not so much.
I really have no idea why they have Kirk in command of the (ever changing) Excelsior in the comics.
Nor any real desire to know, frankly.

Those particular comics happened in the 2+ year lapse between ST3 and ST4. The writers plopped everyone into a "Mirror Universe Saga" for 6-8 issues, where Evil Kirk and Evil Spock (who had regained his Evilness) convinced Evil Starfleet to invade this dimension. Luckily, our Good Excelsior (which had just captured the gang's BoP) and Good Starfleet (with "Good" Styles being shuffled over to Good Fleet command aboard the USS Christopher Pike) managed to kick their Evil butts. It finished with Spock being given command of the Oberth-esque science vessel USS Surak, while everyone else got the Excelsior.
I got the Mirror Universe reprint from the same clearance bin as that TNG thing. Art's about the same, really, though at least they were consistent with the uniforms and phasers (though not with the ships, tricorders or anything else. BTW, the big red bad guy was Redjac, back for another round of murder and mayhem aboard the Excelsior.

I'm hoping the next time I get drunk, only the brain cells that held the above information are lost.
The entire premise reads like "Series?".
"Series?" is actually far more plausable.

That's why I usually would stick with the second series. Although there was one interesting aspect of the second series. In the first bunch of comics, all the women wore skirts! We know that it was an option for females, but after "Star Trek V," I presume the artists were confused after seeing Uhura and the Yeoman in that story wearing skirts. Though the comics had them depicted as very short (TOS-esque). I could almost swear in some of the photos that they were in hot pants!

Actually, during the DC Excelsior days, Sulu was the first officer. However, in the few issues I've read, Sulu rarely ever did anything but sit at the helm of the ship. Go figger.
For those that don't know, they also had a selection of much younger secondary characters aboard that got the lion's share of action after Kirk, McCoy and to a lesser extent Scotty. Can't remember them all, but there was a Klingon defector named Konom who was also a powerful telepath, and a human named Bearclaw who ended up stabbing Kirk through the heart for some reason.

I remember Bearclaw... but it's fuzzy. Actually... I think I remember him from the "Who's Who in Star Trek" thing that came out... I may still have it... must find tonight...

So, are we going to get pictures of these bridges, or just mocked by freakish images of caped crewmembers and bellowing space monsters?

They look like hot pants in that picture. And why is the woman so concerned about her husband "holding" the doors? Since when have crew members ever had to wait for a turbolift? Or is she worried about being 5 seconds late for her shift? Picard must be a bastard when it comes to timekeeping.
KIRK!
