I love a good blending of Star Trek eras, and this one was done really well. I prefer it when this series does an arc, rather just just standalone issues.

My hat is off to Mike Johnson. This was a good Q story and included not only Picard, but also the cast of the best Star Trek series - DS9. Johnson nails the characters and with supporting characters, gives the women several good roles - there is a kick ass security officer. Enjoyable.

I received a copy of this from the publisher through Net Galley for an honest review.
While this is not my first graphic novel (third maybe), it is the first one I have reviewed. I’m kind of lost on how to begin and what to comment on. A little back ground on why I picked this one up. It was free for review on Net Galley and I am a huge Star Trek fan! I figured why the hell not.
Reading a graphic novel is quite a different experience from a typical book. The story is much shorter, you don’t need to fill in all the imagery yourself and it doesn’t work so well on an e-reader. I found the pages would lag and it disturb my reading flow and then you have the much smaller screen and teeny tinny little print. I would have enjoyed and appreciated this much more if I had had the print version instead.
Otherwise the story was a lot of fun. It took characters from two of the TV series and threw in the cast from the latest movie and sent them on an adventure orchestrated by perhaps one of my favorite Trek characters, Q. So many great characters made cameos in this book I couldn’t wait to see who showed up next! Compared to my last read the plot moves at warp speed and I found myself wishing for more pages. I will definitely keep my eye out for more of these Star Trek graphic novels.
The art work was amazing and beautiful. I was surprised at how well they captures these familiar ships and faces from the shows and movie. Again the only thing I wish here is that I had the print version so I could have seen it on a grander scale. I think it might have lost something on such a small screen.
If you are a Trekkie like me give this graphic novel a try. I think it will keep you entertained for an afternoon and have you wanting to check more out. It did me.

The crossover of Deep Space 9 and Next Generation casts with the current blockbuster version was awesomely done without feeling too forced.

When I bought this, from looking through it, I thought it was a crossover with the regular DS9, but it's not. It's a possible-future DS9 in the reboot-verse. Which is cool. Q is apparently our Q (although, being an extra-dimensional being, he really should be), and there are short scenes at the beginning and end with regular Picard. It was very cool. The only thing is it left me dying to see what happens next in the original verse with what happens with Q going forward.

It’s Q. No other summary is needed.
Q is back and, boy, have I missed him! I’d have to say that he is my favorite guest alien in Star Trek: The Next Generation. If he were a real boy, I believe he would drive me insane. But since he’s not (I think) I can sit back and enjoy his antics. This time he’s fucking with the original crew of the Enterprise. Well, I guess I should differentiate the ‘new’ original crew. You know, in the alternate timeline created by the 2009 movie.
Anyway, Q swings by to chat with Picard, before toddling off to screw with the oldtimers. As it turns out, he’s not just messing around for the fun of it. Say it ain’t so! In the alternate timeline, there’s a whole lot at stake. He just doesn’t say anything until nearly the end. I loved the whole story even the parts that made me sad. And that ending…I do love me some Picard.
The artwork is gorgeous. The colors, the lines, everything. I love it. If you’re a fan of Star Trek, graphic novels and, most especially, Q then this is one that shouldn’t be missed.
