Star Trek: Lore War Shaxs' Worst Day review

I wondered when or if Lower Decks would enter... THE LORE WAR!!!!!!!

It makes sense that Shaxs would be our focus character.

So Shaxs touches Kahless’ magical Bat'leth and his normal self is restored. He manages to battle his way through the evil enterprise, assume control, trick the Gorn Captain of evil USS Cerritos, assume control of that, make it to earth and use Starfleet ingenuity to trick evil Captain Liam Shaw then turn his worst day into his best, most violent day.

And in the end who didn’t want to watch Shaxs be totally unleashed on Lore’s universe and Starfleet? I mean the issue is a little goofy and a bit self referential but it’s LORE WAR: Lower Decks, so it’s going to be a little lighter even while it’s extremely violent.

But that’s okay cuz alternate universes.

I liked this issue. A quick moving story that stuck to the plot and stuck the landing going from Shaxs’s worst day to Shaxs’s best.

Love the Gorn captain, a Gorn in Starfleet is something Star Trek SHOULD do. Too bad it’s in the evil Lore-verse. 9/10

Void Rivals #17 review

Void Rivals Has Secrets To Reveal! It does and it continues here with issue # 17! Void Rivals is Robert Kirkman and Lorenzo De Felici’s sci-fi comic that 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 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. In this seventeenth issue, the secret of Zerta Trion is revealed, Darak has a “friendly” chat with his father, and Proximus is on the rampage! Proximus? He was cool. He was! And that continues here as him and his new kid sidekick go on a quest together. It’s unclear exactly what Proximus wishes to get out of it, but he’s clearly no longer...

Transformers #18 (2023) review

Is Shredhead totally in my face? Yup! With Robert Kirkman’s Void Rivals having launched Skybound’s Energon Universe, noted writer/artist rolled-into-one Daniel Warren Johnson takes the reins on the linchpin of this initiative, the flagship Transformers comic series! Well, he maintains the reins on the writing of this series at least, as does Mike Spicer on colors. Jorge Corona has taken over regular penciling duties with a style all his own. In this eighteenth issue, Shredhead kills some guys you may have liked, Ultra Magnus boxes a helicopter, and the Decepticon civil war comes to an end with the return of… well, c’mon, you know. Does Shredhead arrive at the fireworks factory? There’s actually relatively little to do with Shredhead here, aside from an opening fight scene where he showcases how badazz he is by killing some name characters. One of the victims in particular I was kind of annoyed by, considering he just got his first new toy in decades and has always been a fan favorite f...
