Star Trek #5

The mission to protect the God-like beings of the universe gets a lot more personal for members of the Theseus crew as ‘Star Trek' #5 drops some big revelations and catapults the overall story forward toward the upcoming first story-arc conclusion. There is no bit of the Trek franchise that is seemingly going untouched as this creative team pours every bit of love and understanding for this franchise into every single issue, providing the perfect origin point for the just launched sibling series. It's truly a great time to be a Star Trek fan. Read Full Review

STAR TREK #5 is the strongest issue yet, Alexanders clumsy appearance notwithstanding. Loughridges coloring choices continue to impress as he takes advantage of the possibilities this story and setting offer. Rosanas and Tamayo close up strong character work and exciting space action with equal skill. And the writing for both large scale plot twists and small scale character conflicts will serve to keep readers on their toes. Read Full Review

Star Trek #5 is an action-packed frenzy of hand-to-hand combat and tough decisions. Sisko is still reeling from not really knowing who is speaking to him, while it's evident a god-killing weapon is probably bad for everyone. Read this issue knowing the stakes are raised, and even more Star Trek is on the way because of it. Read Full Review

Rosanas and Tamayo deliver some beautiful art that reminded me on every page and panel of what I love about the Star Trek universe. Read Full Review

This story is not perfect. It makes some narrative leaps forced upon it by the pacing of the comic format. But it does have a massive scope, interesting conflicts and manages to focus on characters we love in the midst of extraordinary circumstances. Getting an original, impactful, forward moving Star Trek story with a great cast and strong, exciting art is a treat. Hopefully it truly is an inspiration for the larger Star Trek line going forward.

There are twists and turns here that are legitimately surprising and set the stage for much bigger and more dramatic things to come, all while keeping up the high quality of artwork that has been typical of the comic thus far. Read Full Review

OverallThis story is really starting to come together. I loved the moment when Worf refuses to fire on Kahless's ship when ordered to do so. The argument he makes against Sisko's order is both really dramatic and compelling and does force Sisko into trying to find another way. But will that other way be the right path? Read Full Review
