==Reactions and Reviews: Issue 3 and 4==
The combination of the sometimes unpopular of subject matter (Spock/Christine), Gamin's writing and unusual art style led to criticism of the series. 
The review zine Psst... Hey Kid, Wanna Buy a Fanzine? was well known for its frank and often blunt reviews. However in 1997, the Heart Trek series received a particularly harsh and mocking review. The reviewer, Berkeley Hunt, gave these The Rating System: Trees| two issues not just a single tree, but a dead one.
