Star Trek #26 review

The Kelvin Universe Enterprise crew and the Defiant crew get to know each other. Spock... the Prime Spock, warned Kirk about certain future events, hence why the Enterprise was waiting for Sisko and crew. Eventually, Kirk and Sisko approach Starfleet about working together to stop the reality shockwave unleashed by Lore. Starfleet agrees and a large fleet of ships is gathered. The assembled fleet is useless though, as the shockwave hits and annihilates everything. The Enterprise and Defiant manage to survive, though the Enterprise is eventually overtaken by the shockwave as Defiant escapes.

The Defiant has returned to its own time/space continuum but everything is gone. No stars, no life signs, only the black void of space.

Lots of nice moments in this issue. The Enterprise and Defiant crews geek out over each other and compare notes. 0718, a very underutilized character from the Kelvin films, takes it upon himself to build Data a new body. Kirk thinking he can absolutely stop the reality shockwave is very in character for this version of Kirk. I almost expected some contrived conflict to erupt between the two captains. The two Scottys having a moment was nice. I'm not entirely sure where this story is going next, and I appreciate that. I expected more reality hopping or skipping through time.

seven out of ten.

G.I. Joe #1 (2024) review

Creators : Joshua Williamson, Tom Reilly, Jordie Bellaire Story : Duke is leading the G.I. Joe team on some training exercises - Clutch, Stalker, Cover Girl, Rock 'n Roll and the Baroness, while giving a bit of background on each. The Baroness does struggle working with the crew and Duke feels they are not ready yet. In Springfield, Destro shows off his newest gun to Cobra Commander who is very impressed with it. In Abu Dhabi, G.I. Joe agent Risk (the one missing a part of his left pinkie) beats up some people and tells them not to sell to M.A.R.S. Industries. Back at the Pit, Hawk and Duke talk it over on what it means to be a leader and what the team needs. They then get their first mission; to retrieve a piece of Cybertronian tech while at the same time Cobra is going after it. While the Joes are retrieving the tech, they come under attack by Cobra forces, who seem to have them outgunned and out-technologized with their new laser rifles. Writing ...

G.I. Joe #3 (2024) review

Creators : Joshua Williamson (writer), Tom Reilly (artist), Jordie Bellaire (colorist), Rus Wooton (letterer) Story : Clutch is trying to gather his bearings in the Cobra base and contact the Joe team when he ends up in line and hearing the next part of Cobra Commander's plan - to kidnap Dr. Venom/Dr. Archibald Monev who is slated to testify before Congress on his Brainwave Scanner. Cobra Commander claims there is a mole and he is attacked but he fends off the assailant and drops him into a (literal) snake pit (and he knows it's an agent from Cobra-La, unknown to the rest) and Cobra Commander claims he already has allies picking up the doctor. At the Pit, Duke and Risk are still fighting till Stalker stops them and reminds them they are a team (and putting out the classic Stalker leadership). They receive a message from Clutch informing the Joes of what Cobra is doing. In D.C., it ends up the Doctor is already in the hands of Cobra but the Joes are able to stop t...
