I can't tell if this was the best or worst thing I've ever read.

Once Deep Space 9 made visiting the Mirror Universe a once-per-season event, I started regretting that we never saw the Next Generation crew make that leap. IDW comics, whose Star Trek comics have been hitting it out of the park, has rectified that here. It's a solid story, with characterization and a plot that works completely. After finishing the book, you have the satisfaction that you get from watching the best of the TNG episodes. This visit with old friends will make you smile, and surprise you more than once. I couldn't put it down.

I mean . . . you know. This is fine. It's silly, because its the Mirror Universe, which takes itself oh so seriously. But it's fun to see everyone running around with their sleeves ripped off to show their huge guns. Troi is Picard's "Inquisitor" which is an interesting (if predictable) application of her talents to the ol' Mirror U. Picard has a goatee, Riker has tiny braids in his beard . . . it's all adorable if not actually compelling.
The art looks like painting, and sometimes it's really quite fantastic and other times things look awkward.

A pretty good Star Trek novel. The artwork took me a while to get used to but it didn't take long for me to be swept up in the story. An entertaining Mirror Universe episode.

With writing by Scott Tipton and David Tipton, and J.K. Woodward’s brooding, dramatic art, Mirror Broken gave us memorable characters (particularly Picard, Barclay and LaForge) and an action-packed story about Picard’s journey from washed-up captain to leader of the flagship of the Terran Empire.
Picard’s plot to steal the Enterprise is aided by an ambitious Barclay; a deeply loyal Data, who’s augmented himself with Borg technology; and a seductive, manipulative Troi as his “Inquisitor.” Along the way he picks up the rest of our crew, each with their own evil twist.
Of all the TNG women, Mirror Troi had the most to do in this series. However, I still would’ve liked to see her be a little more bad-ass, like the Mirror Troi whom the rest of the crew fear, in Diane Duane’s novel [b:Dark Mirror|337023|Dark Mirror|Diane Duane|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1327283883s/337023.jpg|1575938].
Maybe I’d just been missing Mirror Yar, or any woman character whose violence could rise to that level. I wanted Mirror Troi to cackle while blowing up a defenceless ship, or Mirror Crusher to kick Jellico in the face.
The conclusion of Mirror Broken – in whichBarclay watches the crew celebrate their victory and wonders how long the peace among them will last – felt sudden and slightly anti-climactic to me. Luckily for those of us who were left craving more from the TNG Mirror Universe, IDW recently announced another mini-series coming this May, Star Trek: TNG: Through the Mirror.

Doesn't really fit into the canon, but otherwise cheesy good fun. I got a kick out of the muscle shirts and the cameo of the Neptunian, an obscure reptilian action figure that has long puzzled Trekkies because it was so random and out of place.

I love the writing and the Mirror world is one of my favorite twists on Star Trek. It was fun to see the TNG world in the mirror.
Only 4 stars because the art was variable. At times it seemed the artist was trying too hard to make the characters look like their real-life actors. This lead to "perfect" looking heads that seemed strangely pasted on bodies.

Hands down the best Star Trek comic I’ve ever read. The story felt like a natural bridge between the TOS and DS9 mirror universe storylines, the characters felt like “correct” inversions of the crew we know, and there were plenty of awesome Easter eggs and references. Using the alternate Enterprise-D from the series finale was an inspired choice. Loved the art style too. Looks so stunning

God this is just so unbelievably cool and brutal and UGH I loved it. This was a lot darker than I was initially expecting in the best way, it’s soooo much darker then you might think. The story is super interesting and easy to follow, I think the world building here is incredible, I also loved the openness of the ending, I don’t know it just makes me want to read more immediately and I’m sad it wasn’t longer. I could easily read ten of these and never be bored. Data is my favourite trek character and I LOVE where they take him here, Picard is also awesome and seeing everyone with their massive muscles out all the time is hilarious. I’m normally not a huge fan of comics with this sort of painted art style but I love it in this, it just works so well with the theme. I can’t wait to read more of these I need it now
