Star Trek: Lower Decks #6 (2024) review



And they’re on the Titanic ocean liner! And really, they’re kinda foggy on the details about the Titanic except for Brad Boimler who should know overachiever that he is. So off to another zany adventure and finding out how they get out of this one!
Where they run into the bridge crew who tell us they are chasing a mysterious hooded woman who’s going through time and causing chaos like some kind of time travel chaos demon, and so combined, the crew work to figure out a way to save the day millions of years in the past.

First off I just want to point out that a Dark Sith rebel without a cause Beckett Mariner got old after a while on Lower Decks, temporal psychosis seems fun and streaming trek is missing a huge opportunity to make a Temporal Wars Star Trek. Just saying, we love time travel. But instead we get academy and I’m getting off topic.

This was a good conclusion but I could live without the Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home time travel heads thing. I get it, we all love Star Trek IV it’s a good movie, but pop culture reference takes time away from the real story we are all here for: taking a Tyrannosaurus to the future in order to tell the Voth what the hell to go do with themselves.
No wait that wasn’t the story, sorry.  They went back to stop the mysterious hooded stranger from destroying the timeline to which they solve the crisis in the most Star Trek way and fix everything. 

I thought this would lead to Lore Wars since Lore was off rewriting the universe that Lower Decks would be affected to. Kinda like that it’s not.

Remember ALF comics? This reminds me of those. 8/10 seriously could live without more pop culture trek references.

Creators : Larry Hama (writer), Andrew Krahnke (artist), Francesco Segala (colorist), Sabrin Del Grosso (flatter), Pat Brosseau (letterer) Story : In the Arabian Sea, a Tomahawk lifts off with Tunnel Rat, Tripwire and Sherlock going on a mission to rescue a 15-year-old activist/daughter of an opposition leader.   The leader of the kidnappers is also a "Fred Series" former Crimson Guardsman and operative for Cobra.  The team lands and meets up with Mongoose who was inserted the night before.  They find the tunnel system where the kidnappers are and go in guns blazing.  When they finally rescue the girl, she's upset that they ruined her plan and she goes off after the kidnappers as well; ends up the real daughter is elsewhere and the one they rescued is a special forces operative made to look like her who has a grudge against the Crimson Guardsman.  The Joes are able to talk her down from killing him and instead bringing him to trial for his crimes (beyond the kid...

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 ...
