review:

Star Trek Volume 6: After Darkness takes place after the events in the movie Star Trek: Into Darkness. The Klingons are out to avenge themselves against Captain Kirk, but that plot is in the background for these issues.



Of bigger concern is what to do with a Vulcan going through Pon Farr. Since the planet Vulcan no longer exists and Spock is compelled to return there, how do you solve that?



It's a reimagining of the classic episode 'Amok Time' and it kind of tends to founder a bit. There is also a backup story featuring Kirk and the Gorn that is too quickly resolved.



The art is pretty good and it's nice to see these reboot characters featured in ongoing stories, but it was just mildly satisfying.



I was given a review copy of this graphic novel by Diamond Book Distributors and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this book.
