I don't normally read graphic novels or comic books, but I bought this for my 10 year old because we love all things Star Trek. It's a quick engaging read and tells us the fate of The Next Generation characters following their last movie, "Nemesis" released in 2002, as well as being a prequel to the first Star Trek movie featuring younger versions of the original characters (2009). Suffice it to say, time travel is involved.

Recommended if you have seen the movies and are into Star Trek.

So that's how Nero became Nero and had that amazingly big and nasty ship that travels through time in pursuit of Spock. This is the missing prequel to the most recent Star Trek reboot movie. The book makes pretty good use of the characters from Star Trek: The Next Generation, although it is a bit trite that they are the ones that are constantly called out to save the universe. They almost do it, too.

Prelude to the 2009 movie Star Trek, this colour graphic novel weaves Spock (Leonard Nimoy), with Captain Data (returned by way of imprinting his neural nets onto B-4's), Admiral Piccard, and the Romulan, Nero. Also stars Geordi and Worf. Quick read. Also includes the 1967 Gold Key comic "The Planet of No Return" by Dick Wood.

Good adaptation - nicely done, glad it was included in the Humble Bundle.

While I understand the detractors vis a vis JJ's reboot, I can enjoy Star Trek wherever I find it. The graphic novel has a lot of nice visuals interpreted from the movie, and adds in a few details to flesh out the story.
