review:
In comics, the world of crossovers can be a mixed bag, but I'm happy to report that 'Star Trek/Green Lantern: The Spectrum War' was a pretty decent story by Mike Johnson with art by Angel Hernandez.

When events in the Green Lantern version of Earth spill over into the Star Trek universe, things take a crazy course. An abandoned asteroid is found with a dead body by a Star Trek away team. In front of the body are some colorful rings. The crew takes the body and the rings back to the Enterprise. When the rings become activated, it's interesting to see who gets chosen. The rings have innate personalities of love, hope, war, etc. and this leads them to some likely bearers on both sides. When Hal Jordan shows up to figure things out, he meets a headstrong Captain Kirk who wants to know what has happened to his crew. Meanwhile, the Klingons, Romulans and Gorns now have powerful rings and want to use them to dominate the galaxy. Can the crew of the Enterprise and the Green Lantern Corps stop things before they go too far?

You'd think this would be a natural crossover, but when I first heard about it, I was a bit skeptical. I've read good and bad crossovers in the past, but I thought I'd give it a try, and I'm glad I did. Along with an interesting story of cosmic size, the art is really quite nice.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, IDW Publishing, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
