Star Trek The Next Generation: Mirror Broken (2017)

This comic was broken into 4 sections to give you a taste of what is coming out. The first story I really did not like. It was a much darker take on the Star Trek universe and the color of it was set up much like the movie Sin City. For those not familiar with the movie it was done in black and white (with a greys mixed in) with special items in color to bring the eye’s attention to them. It also used the same colors to highlight the scenes, specifically reds and yellows. The second story was too short to get anything from it. I will say though that the artist did a good job of making Kirk look like Chris Pine. The third story was weird because it was a mash up of Star Trek and Green Lantern. I would never have thought of mixing superhero with sci-fi. I would not spend money to read this mashup, but if I found it at the public library I would pick it up to read. The final story has a giant cube which in the Star Trek world makes you think of the Borg, but it’s too smooth to be of their build. This one also has Jordy La Forge as captain. I will admit that I like how diverse Star Trek has always been. This one I wished was slightly longer since the smooth cube was intriguing. Since the first story was the longest and worst of the lot I cannot rate this comic very high. 2 stars out of 5 or a D.
