I don't normally read graphic novels or comic books, but I bought this for my 10 year old because we love all things Star Trek. It's a quick engaging read and tells us the fate of The Next Generation characters following their last movie, "Nemesis" released in 2002, as well as being a prequel to the first Star Trek movie featuring younger versions of the original characters (2009). Suffice it to say, time travel is involved.

Recommended if you have seen the movies and are into Star Trek.

So that's how Nero became Nero and had that amazingly big and nasty ship that travels through time in pursuit of Spock. This is the missing prequel to the most recent Star Trek reboot movie. The book makes pretty good use of the characters from Star Trek: The Next Generation, although it is a bit trite that they are the ones that are constantly called out to save the universe. They almost do it, too.

I don't really have any great fondness.for TOS, but I think I'll always make exceptions for the mirror universe. Such a great device to turn conventions on their head and really embrace the pulpy side of Trek.

Loved the dialogue in this one. Brian Lynch really did a great job staying true to Joss Whedon's style.
