Star Trek The Mirror War #1
SCORE: 70
I saw Star Trek The Mirror War #1 at a local comic book store and
thought this might be interesting to read and review. I am aware of the
Mirrorverse within Star Trek. I have watched numerous Star Trek
television shows that touched upon that alternate reality. Star Trek The
Mirror War #1 has Troi on the cover. Which told me Star Trek The Mirror
War #1 would be about Star Trek The Next Generation. Guess what? I was
completely right on that note. Please be aware that there will be
spoilers within this review.
Deanna Troi wants to get off Betazed in Star Trek The Mirror War #1.
Technically we see from the first page that she is actually in the court
of the emperor. We then flashback to how she gets off Betazed in Star
Trek The Mirror War #1. She orchestrates a devious plan to get Captain
Picard of the Stargazer to bring her onto his ship. She seeks power, and
wants to climb the ranks within the Terran empire. Characters are
absolutely ruthless within Star Trek The Mirror War #1. They kill off
anyone they need to to get what they want.
The issues families will have with Star Trek The Mirror War #1 are
violence, lack of attire, enticement to lust, lies, deceit, murder, and
more. Thankfully the violent content does not show any blood or gore.
Phasers shoot a plethora of characters and they fall down. We presume
they are dead. That is what Star Trek The Mirror War #1 leads the
readers to believe. The horrible attitude of the characters fit the
volatile Mirrorverse quite well. There is plenty of aggression from
characters seeking more power.
It looks like William T. Riker is the emperor in Star Trek The Mirror
War #1. I suspect Deanna Troi used some feminine wiles to get Riker's
attention. That is not shown within Star Trek The Mirror War #1. I have
been unable thus far to find anymore issues to the Star Trek The Mirror
War series. After reading Star Trek The Mirror War #1 I am curious to
learn more about this science fiction fantasy universe. What happened
with other characters from Star Trek The Next Generation in this
alternate reality?
There is references within Star Trek The Mirror War #1 to playing a
certain kind of game. Let someone think they are smarter than you. Kill
one of your friends to show your loyalty, value, and worth to someone
that does not trust you. Deanna Troi plays a very deadly game within
Star Trek The Mirror War #1. Ultimately Captain Picard accepts her and
makes her an Inquisitor on his ship. I hope to find out how she finally
made it into the Emperor's court. How long will characters live in this
universe?
