TokyoPop editor Luis Reyes is working on the first sanctioned Star Trek manga, "Shinsei Shinsei," and says he's worried that TOS purists won't approve of highly stylized interpretations of the famous characters.
"I'm a fan," Reyes said at Comic-Con, but the manga-ka was warned by Star Trek executives, "Those fans will kill you."
CBS Consumer Products Executive Paula Block is said to have helped keep the fresh manga in line with fan expectations, insisting that Reyes eliminate beads of sweat drawn on Captain Kirk.
"It's okay with Scotty, but Kirk wouldn't have freaked out like that."
Block was party to a panel discussion titled Star Trek: Year 41 and Counting. "Contrary to some people's opinions, Star Trek isn't dead," she proclaimed. Speaking about Bethesda's upcoming games, Block said, "If you just want a good starship shoot-em-up you get Star Trek: Battlesations; if you want a good story you can have Star Trek: Legacy."
Block also mentioned that CBS Paramount shall handle all licensing for Star Trek XI.

Who could blame him? Hell, I'm one of those 'fans' and they often freak me out. 'Trekkies' is a horror-movie in my house. :)
But, I also find it telling (and oh-so-appropriate) that TOS was the one the Manga was made for. Anyone that tries to insinuate that any of the sequel shows are anywhere close to the pop-cultural 'iconic' status of Kirk, Spock, McCoy and TOS, is simply dilluting themselves.

The autumn days swung soft around me, like cotton on
my skin. But as the embers of the summer lost their
breath and disappeared, my heart went cold, and
only hollow rhythms resounded from within.
