Star Trek #10 review

Sisko and Garak face the firing squad but the soldiers turn their weapons into the crowd, killing Damar's enemies. as the Red Path bears down on Crusher and her group, Sisko arrives just in time to save them. Sisko spies the Vorta head off and investigates. he opens a canister that contains a Founder. instead of embracing it, Vorta kills the Founder. later, the Theseus returns to DS9 where the Orb is analyzed by various teams.

The conclusion of the 'Trial' arc was good. and a very Cardassian conclusion at that. i do wish the Vorta's motives were a bit more tangible. unleashing a captive Founder only to kill it is an interesting twist, and goes to show how some have changed after the war. but it also feels somewhat disjointed.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - The Scorpius Run #1 review

The Enterprise picks up a distress call and moves to investigate. onboard they find one survivor who tells them she has a debt to pay to a local crime Boss. later, the Enterprise arrives at Celius Prime in an effort to help their passenger. Pike and some of the bridge crew are beamed off. they face the crime boss who tells them the only way out of the dangerous Scorpion sector is by way of the most dangerous race in the galaxy. Pike agrees to the race but members of this crew are placed among various other ships in the race. The idea of a race in space is nothing new. its not even new in the realms of Star Trek. you have 'The Great Starship Race' from the old Pocket Book line. and thus far, i feel the novel is superior. though the Pike of Strange New Worlds is laid back i hardly think he would so easily agree to all the terms and obviously laid traps he faces here. six out of ten.

Void Rivals #2 review

What’s this then? Why, it’s Void Rivals # 2, the second issue (shocking, I know) of Robert Kirkman, Lorenzo De Felici, and Matheus Lopes’ new sci-fi comic. It tells the tale of two crumbling planets linked by a “Sacred Ring” (it’s not Halo), their peoples at war for generations. When a member of each culture are stranded together, the two find they must put aside their differences if they want to survive. This story takes place in the so-called “Energon Universe”, Skybound Entertainment’s new initiative to relaunch properties like Transformers and G.I. Joe within a shared universe that also happens to include the original characters and setting of Void Rivals. Any good? You know what, yeah! I’m enjoying it so far and I guess I’m not surprised. Robert Kirkman does well with cosmic space stuff and I was a big fan of Invincible. In two issues he’s already crafted an intriguing dramatic setup and a compelling dynamic between our two lead characters Darak and Solila. We’ve seen the “enemies
