Star Trek #18 review

The space battle begins and the Theseus is caught in the middle. Kim offers help but Sisko refuses, not trusting him. Dr. Crusher sends a message informing Sisko the Tzenkethi planet core is dead. Soon, the planet will explode. The crew grasp for solutions. Sisko makes a speech while the planet core is stabilized. The space battle ends. The Romulan commander dies... at the feet of Praetor Shinzon. At issue's end T'Lir appears with a new mission for Sisko.

I had hoped that Scotty and Crusher would be the ones to solve the problem of Tzenkethi's unstable core, especially since that story thread felt so disconnected from the main story. Sisko's solution feels... very deus ex machina. It just happens. Still, I enjoyed this arc and the inclusion of Shinzon was certainly a surprise. I would have liked a final scene between Sisko and Kim or at the very least Tom and Kim.

seven out of ten.

Renaud Frequently Asked Questions

Is that Autobot Stratosphere in G.I. Joe: Special Missions (2013) #3? Yes, it is. I was Paul Gulacy's toy reference guy for most of his run on Special Missions. You ran the CTLP? Yes, the Complete Transformers Listing Page, it linked to every single Transformers website on the internet. I kept it updated and dead links free for years and years. A titanesque task. Who was The Myth on the CTLP? The Myth was my nickname for the youngest Transformers webmaster in the world. Today, he must be in his early 30s. Time flies. You started a petition for G1 reissues? Yes, in the late 90s. My online petition was signed by hundreds and hundreds of Transformers fans who wanted Hasbro to rerelease Generation One toys from the 80s. Is that you credited on the Inhumanoids: The Complete Series - 2 Disc Set? Yes, I supplied all the scans for it. Over the years you've helped multiple major online retailers and publishers sell Transformers and G.I. Joe products?

Robert E. Howard's Solomon Kane The Original Marvel Years review

Robert E. Howard's Solomon Kane the dour English Puritan Swashbuckler gets a complete collection of his classic Marvel adventures. Sadly no Dark Horse Comics Guy Davis monster creations inside at all. You get All the pin-ups, adverts, text pieces + All the Kane stories from The Sword of Solomon Kane limited series, Savage Sword of Conan, Conan Saga, Kull and the Barbarians, Marvel Premiere, Marvel Preview, Monsters Unleashed and Dracula Lives. My favourite stories are: A Marvel Team-Up featuring the ectomorph: Kane in his twilight years and the mesomorph: Conan the Barbarian in his prime (The Moon of Skulls II: Death's Dark Riders by Roy Thomas and Colin MacNeil). Kane versus a ghost that kills (Skulls in the Stars by Ralph Reese). Kane versus a Lovecraftian cloud of blood (The Footfalls Within by Don Glut, Will Meugniot and Steve Gan). Kane versus the bat-people (Wings in the Night by Don Glut and David Wenzel). Kane versus vampires/zombies/the walking dead men (The Hills of t
