Captain Picard and the I.S.S. Stargazer are escorting ships of Vulcan slaves. When the Vulcans try to take control of 2 of the ships, Lieutenant Yar destroys them. Lieutenant Barclay thinks Yar&#8217;s action was foolhardy, and he means to do something about it.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s always fun to spend a bit of time in the mirror universe, where ruthless versions of our favourite characters exist in a timeline that has gone very differently. This universe was introduced in the <strong>TOS<\/strong> episode &#8220;Mirror, Mirror.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The storyline comes to a semi-conclusion but further adventures could be on the way.<\/p>\n<p>Leah Brahms, Captain Jellico, and Guinan all show up. In the 2nd volume the most astonishing guest star shows up.* Dr. Selar gets a terrific storyline.<\/p>\n<p>The art by J. K. Woodward is a bit different but interesting &#8212; more like a painting. The rest of the art by various artists such as Tony Shasteen and Angel Hernandez is more like &#8220;standard comic book art&#8221; but it&#8217;s quite good.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve read 13 or 14 graphic novels by Scott &amp; David Tipton.
