REVIEW:
With so many getting excited about the new Star Trek film, this release from Titan will give the reader the chance to get to see the young Enterprise Crew as their futures develop with events changing their perspective. The illustrations are wonderful, the storyline getting to the heart of the matter and when backed with cracking colouring to really give you the full flavour of the universe.
All round a great addition and one that will give you a little something extra to ponder when things that were hinted at come to pass in the latest offering and all round will make you feel like you have one up on a lot of the audience. Magical.

REVIEW: Fans of the Star Trek Universe are just going to love this prequel graphic novel. With beautiful artwork and a tale that backs up the recent film it’s going to be a worthy companion for all concerned. Add to the mix a story arc that really will set fans to warp factor six that gives greater depth to Nero alongside the run in with Spock with recogniseable actor characterisations and it really does hit all the right notes.
