Star Trek #31 review



The Enterprise catches up with The Phoenix.  Benjamin Sisko, Beverly Crusher and Kahless escape in spacesuits as the ship collides with the Enterprise, which also provides them a way in.  They are immediately confronted by Tom Paris and Harry Kim.  Kim dies but Tom manages to wake up from his Lore manipulated reality and joins Sisko.  They eventually come face to face with Worf and Alexander.  Alexander wakes up as well and after a short battle joins Sisko and they make their escape in a shuttle.  

This issue seems a bit messy.  The method of waking up from Lore's reality is almost too simple.  Kahless simply strikes them with his sword.  So why don't they just go around hitting everyone with it?  So far this event has not impressed me very much.  And at the risk of repeating myself, we have seen better and more interesting alternate reality stories across various episodes of Star Trek.  

six out of ten.

Void Rivals #17 review

Void Rivals Has Secrets To Reveal! It does and it continues here with issue # 17! Void Rivals is Robert Kirkman and Lorenzo De Felici’s sci-fi comic that tells the tale of two crumbling planets linked by a “Sacred Ring” (it’s not Halo), their peoples at war for generations. When a member of each culture are stranded together, the two find they must put aside their differences if they want to survive. This story takes place in the so-called “Energon Universe”, Skybound Entertainment’s initiative to relaunch properties like Transformers and G.I. Joe within a shared universe that also happens to include the original characters and setting of Void Rivals. In this seventeenth issue, the secret of Zerta Trion is revealed, Darak has a “friendly” chat with his father, and Proximus is on the rampage! Proximus? He was cool. He was! And that continues here as him and his new kid sidekick go on a quest together. It’s unclear exactly what Proximus wishes to get out of it, but he’s clearly no longer...
