Colour graphic novel brining together Seven-of-Nine, Picard, and Data - all as part of the Borg collective. Time travel, deception and defeat! Fun, quick story. Also includes Gold Key's 1969 comic "Invasion of the City Builders" & "The Bridge to Catastrophe". ( )

Great fun. It’s a non-canon remix of First Contact and some of best episodes of TNG and VOY beginning when Voyager returns to Earth. Time travel, Interdimensional aliens, Borg, Vulcan suicide commandos? Need I say more? No one knows these characters better than Braga due to his deep involvement with the franchise. Should I read into him excluding Troi entirely except for one wordless frame?

The art is good but not great, but I’m not sure I want an artist to overly stylize Trek characters. The penciller, Joe Corroney, has been an in house artist (hack?) for Lucas Arts since 1997 so I suppose he is good at not tainting someone else’s intellectual property. I’m picking on him but he does a good job here. Especially his paneling, which is particularly lively. Perhaps in compensation for the conservative character rendering? I don’t know. This is the first, new, genre, adventure, superhero-esque comic I have read in years. It is the first comic with glossy pages and digital coloring that I have enjoyed. Should some variation of this have been the last TNG movie? Probably. ( )

Lots of timey-wimey fun with Captain Picard/Locutus, Data, and Seven of Nine as the Locutus of an alternative future seeks to change history and stop the complete assimilation of the entire universe by the Borg. ( )
