JIm FUlner reviewed Other Realities by Tony Isabella

This was my second experience into Star Trek comics. The last was 20 years ago for a reason, and this one was just as bad. I got it primarily due to the center Story: "Star Trek Deep Space Nine: N-Vectro" While the story was OK, the drawings where horrible. characters had very little resemblence to the actors who played them on TV. Add to that the idea that a "vectoid" an intellegent virus that can infect anything: people, computers, etc. and then replecate itself to make a fake DS9 somewhere is stretching the imagination even for Star Trek. returnreturnThe first story was better, but there was no transitions at all and sub plot just fixed itself with little explanation.

However the mirror universe idea would have been better than the crap they came up with. returnreturnLastly some new Star Trek and probably the only real "Other Relaties" included tried so hard to give back story on characters in a short amount of time that it gave nothing to the actual plot. returnreturnPass on this one. Pick up Batman if you want a comic and stick to the DS9 re-launch novels going forward.
