Okay, so I was wrong
7 Jan 2011
Format:Paperback
In mid-2009, I firmly convinced myself that I had no need to ever see the new Star Trek film. Just give me my beloved crew from the original series (TOS), thanks - no need for a rebooted or reimagined Star Trek 90210. Plus, with all the quick cuts and explosions in the preview, I absolutely could not tell what in the heck was going on. Recently, my need for more Trek comics compelled me to pick up STAR TREK: THE OFFICIAL MOTION PICTURE ADAPTATION, and I must say, I was impressed. There's no reimagining here, and while it does qualify as a reboot, it fits with TOS. To explain it might be crossing too far into spoiler territory, but let's just say that if you can accept TOS episodes "Mirror, Mirror" or "City on The Edge of Forever", you should be able to accept this.
The story adaptation is ably provided by Mike Johnson and Tim Jones. Let me clarify that as of this writing, I still have not seen the movie; however, if what is contained in this trade is any indication of what I will see, it should be nothing short of entertaining. I have to hand it to these guys for making a comic adaptation so exciting, and while the storyline does have a few quirks, I certainly can't blame it on them. David Messina, a regular Trek contributor for IDW, provides some spectacular art, perfectly capturing the looks of the actors and giving the whole package a very polished look.
One odd thing about this adaptation - the first issue didn't hit stands until well after the movie had been released, and the story was spread out over six issues, with this collection being released around one and a half years after the movie. That's some delay. Upon completing it, I thought back to the times when a movie adaptation would generally be handled in two or three issues, often being completed before the movie was even released. We certainly are living in different times.
For related stories, check out the tie-ins Spock - Reflections, Nero, and Countdown. Chances are that these will all be collected in an Omnibus edition at some point, but as I've learned: why put it off? Now to rent the movie...

Outstanding artwork and it captures the intensity of Nero and the wildness of the young Kirk
12 Feb 2012
Format:Paperback
The latest movie in the Star Trek saga established a new eventline for the main characters of the original series. The only unifying unit that survives unchanged is the original Spock. This graphic novel is an adaptation of the movie and while by necessity it must leave out some of the scenes, in general the story is identical. In a few places, such as how Spock was put on the ice planet, information is added.
The artists do an exceptional job in capturing the wild nature of the young James Kirk before he joined Star Fleet as well as the irascible personality of Leonard McCoy and the proper nature of Spock. The all-consuming hatred that Nero has developed for the Federation in general and Spock in particular is also captured in the artwork. If you have not seen the movie before reading this book it would take an emotional strength on the level of Spock's to resist viewing the movie.

I had read the other Star Trek graphic novels, but wasn't sure if the movie adaptation would worthwhile, especially since I had seen the movie.
It was worth it! The graphic novel brought some details to may attention and then I had to go watch the movie again!
Well worth the money.
