Star Trek: Year Five #1 (IDW)
Jackson Lanzing & Collin Kelly (w) Stephen Thompson (a)
At last the adventures of the "missing year" of the original enterprise begin albeit in comic book form. You will not be disappointed with the opening chapter it's all there. the original crew. Spock's clinical scientific emotionless contributions, Bones and his so human bedside manner plus a bottle of brandy, Scotty is beginning to put on weight...These are the adventures of the Star-ship Enterprise and her five year mission to explore the unknown.
The biggest stellar object ever discovered is about to to go band and the radiation will wipe out life for 10,000 light years which Starfleet obviously doesn't want to happen so here is Kirk and his crew making sure devices are put in place.
Then the problems arise don't they "Admiral" and then a plea for help from a Tholian Colony. They are the Crystalline creatures who build webs in space.
But is the Enterprise too late?
This will be a continuing series that I hope will last. Great art too!
Rating 4 Stars. It can only get better!
Jughead The Hunger vs Vampironica #1 (Archie Horror)
Frank Tierni (w) Pat & Tim Kennedy plus Joe Eisma (a)
The horror continues as Vampires return to Pops Diner and a fight ensues between Veronica and the creatures of the night. It's actually difficult to review this without giving too much away as Veronica confronts her parents about the truth behind vampires in Riverdale. After all she killed Dracula didn't she? And why do vampires seem to just disap.......
Great art, fast paced story. This second volume of Vamperonica should be on everyone's "pull list". If it isn't grab a copy now!
Rating 4.5 Stars
Queen of Bad Dreams #1 (Vault)
Danny Lore (w) Jordi Perez (a)
Last but by far from least is this comic from new publishers Vault. This is about a woman who literally chases dreams. Those figments of your imagination that either escape from or accidentally drop out of your dreams. Not totally original but good enough to produce something a little different.
Whilst our heroine Daher wipes a child's nightmare from our reality with science or is it it magic tech? That remains to be disclosed, her services become requested elsewhere.
Just like a movie a politicians son has lost a bit of his dream and Daher is the woman for the job. A spoilt brat refuses a dream scan but as we discover is far from a child. He's a 40 year old tosser with an attitude problem. Daher has to chase his dream girl. Will she return, eliminate or allow to stay.
An interesting comic that deserves a wider audience.
Rating 3.5 Stars
