Star Trek #1
SCORE: 65
I have seen different Star Trek comic books at our local comic book
stores. I noticed Star Trek #1 and thought: "hey I could get in on the
ground floor of this one and see where it goes." Thus far Star Trek #1
did not impress me. I am thankful I had the money to purchase and review
Star Trek #1. This comic book costs $4.99. It is a dollar more than many
of the other comic books and it has some more pages.
Please be aware there will be spoilers in this review. Star Trek #1
starts out with Captain Sisko being with the wormhole aliens. The ones
the Bajorans worship as deities. There are plenty of Star Trek
references within Star Trek #1. Since I have not finished all of Star
Trek Deep Space Nine the television show there are things in Star Trek
#1 that I did not know about. In essence some spoilers.
Captain Sisko comes back to normal space and time to save these wormhole
aliens. He meets with a variety of different Star Trek characters like
Keera and Captain Picard. Commander Data comes along as his first
officer. They have Scotty as their engineer, and Tom Paris as their
navigator. Dr Crusher clears him for command in Star Trek #1. Star Trek
#1 felt like it was throwing together different Star Trek characters. I
did not feel much cohesion in the team in Star Trek #1.
The issues families can have with Star Trek #1 is lack of attire,
violence, false gods, and more. Star Trek #1 teaches all of these
different aliens are gods. Star Trek #1 is really heavy handed with this
as well. I am not sure why it was done but it is very noticeable. There
is a character that attacks the gender role of the ship being female in
Star Trek #1. There are ads throughout Star Trek #1. The U.S.S. Theseus
is the ship that Captain Sisko commands in Star Trek #1.
The crew of the U.S.S. Theseus wind up in this nebula to find all these
crystalline entities. They witness their destruction by a ship they
cannot identify. This supposedly kills the wormhole aliens in Star Trek
#1. I am guessing that they will try and hunt down the killer in future
issues of this comic book. The front cover of the next issue shows Worf.
So I am guessing there will more cameo appearances going forward.
