Star Trek: Red Shirts - Ghost of the 21st Century #3 review



In order to continue covering his tracks Captain Miller levels false accusations on Deubert and the Andorian agent, he’s ordered to bring them in alive, he doesn’t want that. Meanwhile our fugitives are on the run and do a quick exposition dump before going to a drone operated mining system controlled by Section Null. After a bloody firefight with goons the fugitives hide in one of the crates until the crates are beamed to captain miller’s ship!

Three issues in and at least they end the Will They or Won't They? thing. And already captured by Miller. Or are they? Miller seems to think so.  
At least they don’t seem to be dragging this plot out with multiple issues of running and hiding. And the story is a nice quick flow and gives us a little background on our two main protagonists.

7/10

In this twenty-eighth issue, Megatron has a freakout, Arcee gets a promotion, Miles Mayhem tries his darndest to get a spin-off, and SOMEONE DIES. FOR REAL. PERMANENTLY. Whut-oh. Yeah, Kirkman finally gives in to his Walking Dead and Invincible pedigree and brings on the gore here, for both human and Transformer alike! After I felt like he was being remarkably restrained for his first three issues, he really goes for it here and it’s... I dunno... kind of on the nose, maybe? I guess he wanted to show that his run will be chock-full of consequences too, but I feel maybe his choice of victim was a little flawed and a real shame. The victim is a Transformers character that is known for getting the shaft usually...
