Review of
Star Trek #2 Second Printing Variant
Edition Comic Book by Mike
Johnson (Author), Stephen
Molnar (Illustrator)
Three out of five stars
For decades I
have been a fan of Star Trek, it is an experience that you can relive by re-watching
old shows and movies or wait in anticipation for the next iteration in video or
print. However, this is one iteration that I simply did not like, for it is an
old story retold using the new occupants of the positions of the main
characters.
The latest
personalities to play Captain Kirk, Mister Spock and the others are dealing
again with the transformed Gary Mitchell of the early original series episode, “Where
No Man Has Gone Before.” They are once again attempting to maroon the
increasingly powerful Mitchell on Delta Vega as he reaches the point where he
is close to losing all his humanity.
What I dislike
about this story is that it is nothing but a retread, essentially the same
story with different actors. With an entire universe to explore and imagine, it
seems silly to redo one of the first iterations of one of the most innovative
and creative continuing stories.
