Cover/Solicit - 3/5

the characters appearance?
Colors/Ink/Lettering - 4/5

Layout/Flow - 5/5
- Does the layout of the issue make it easy to read? Does the issue have a good flow of the plot and keep me engaged?
Story - 5/5
- Weighted Triple. How well did the issue further develop the current story? How well did the issue further develop the characters? Did I enjoy reading the issue?
Verdict - 4.3
- I've been watching
Star Trek since my dad and I started watching TNG. I'm not Trekkie by any means but I do like the TV Series and Movies. After the relaunch with the
2009 Star Trek movie, I was interested in this series. So far
IDW has been retelling the
Original Series episodes with the reboot twist on them. From the sound of the solicit it makes it seem this is going to have something to do with the upcoming movie, but it most likely will not. Also I'm not really a fan of the covers, I've gotten used to the fact they are going with a common theme but I still don't care for them, and the photo variant just seems completely out of place. My second biggest gripe is the art, it's been awhile since I read
Star Trek #14 - Keesner, but I don't recall it being so bad. This issue I had a hard time figuring out who some of the characters were at first (
Leonard McCoy for instance), they didn't quite look like their movie counterparts. The biggest art snafu is in a panel where
Spock is missing an eye, it wasn't drawn. Otherwise this was a good take on the original Mirror Universe episode with changes related to
Nero's involvement in the timeline. I'm excited to see what
Commander Kirk does with the Narada and how the normal universe is going to be involved.
