These adventures are interesting. The different interpretations of the characters makes these stories a bit more original. The characters don't always react the way I would expect from the original timeline.

Bad bad not good. Read this if you are not a Star Trek fan, and if you don't like plots, or thought-out characters, or good writing, or comic books. Or, just save your time and don't read this.

I really don't like the retelling of the TOS episodes, because not only do they seem hurried, they also seem much easier in the new setting.
The second part had a good plot, but Sarek's reasoning was off. And where the hell was Prime Spock who should have still been alive at this point. Why didn't he stop Sarek? There should have at least been a few sentences on how he tried and failed.
Apart from that the colouring is strange. Eyecolours vary that much that Uhura at some point has blue-ish eyes and Spock the same bright blue they also used for Kirk. They also tended to make Uhura look paler than Zoe Saldana, and even white in one panel. While this seems to be happening a lot in graphic novels and comics, it's no less racist, even if not by mean intention.
So, all things considered, something one can spend some time with without regret, but not a shining moment of Trek Comics.

I'm getting really into these comics. This is better than the first volume, in my opinion. We have two story lines, the first the reboot/alternate universe's version of Operation Annihilate!, and the second a sorta sequel to the movie.
If you at all liked the 2009 movie, and read comics (even just occasionally), read it. Read it read it read it read it. I recommend it over the first volume. You can honestly just skip that, though all the comics are done really well.

I liked this for the most part. The Sarek story didn't make a whole lot of sense, but that is my only complaint.

Read the first four of these volumes in quick succession.

Enjoyed the vulcan story more. I do wish that the "lesser" threesome of Uhura, Chekov and Sulu had more to do, but those were always my favorite characters. I do like Lt Zahara who seems to be a version of Tasha Yar, whose death I never forgive TNG for.
