Tom Paris warns Sisko of Species 8472, even providing the Captain with a log entry from Kathryn Janeway where she doubts the peace she once made with said species. later, T'Lir mentally hears the screams of 8472 as they approach. They invade the ship with intentions of taking it out of their realm. Fluidic Space is boiling, thanks to the destructive shockwave Lore unleashed. Using the Mycelial Network they manage to escape, though as a result they are displaced 120 years in time. They are then confronted by the Enterprise A... of the Kelvin Universe.
I've always been interested in Species 8472 since their debut. I have to say seeing them here is kind of a letdown. I thought it was a mistake for Voyager to make peace with them, and somewhat expected this issue to be an all out battle. Not so much. Having the issue focus on Tom, for the most part, was nice. Sometimes characters get lost in the mix of this comic. It happens with an ensemble cast comprised of characters from different Trek series. The final page, of the Kelvin Universe Kirk and Enterprise A showing up is completely unexpected. I'm very curious to see where this goes.
seven out of ten.
