Plus, a 28-page sneak preview of the story "Sensation" from the upcoming Star Trek: The Next Generation manga!

AppendicesEdit

• The first 16 pages of Side Effects were presented in color on slick paper. The story chosen for color was selected in an online poll on Tokyopop's website. The site also revealed early cover art for the book which indicated a title of Kanzenban, which appears to have been dropped for the final presentation of the book.
