Continuing Benjamin Sisko's quest to stop celestial genocide in "The Red Path," the second arc of the critically acclaimed Star Trek flagship comic series continues! Sisko returns to Deep Space 9, and it's the family reunion we've all been waiting for-or is it? Meanwhile, the crew of the U.S.S. Theseus meet a familiar face from Paramount+ hit show Lower Decks.
Sometimes you truly can go home again, as ‘Star Trek' #7 bounces the intrepid crew of the Theseus off the familiar spaces of Deep Space Nine and sends them onto their next adventure in their mission to stop the God-Killer Kahless. A truly fun and powerfully emotional issue that does great work to keep building the solid character work and foundation the first arc was building. Nostalgia with a purpose in order to move things forward is the best kind. Read Full Review
The whole creative team take things to the next level with Star Trek #7. Giving it all she's got, this is a series travelling at warp 9.9 hurtling towards a huge, legacy-serving conflict. Read Full Review
Final ThoughtsAfter six issues of almost nonstop high stakes action, STAR TREK #7 is a fun change of pace. It provides a nice opportunity to let recent events breathe. The storys new direction opens up a lot of possibilities for the future. And the character vignettes are particularly compelling, especially for Sisko whose almost religious fervor finally breaks.

The ArtworkThe artwork throughout this book is fairly solid but is a bit hit-and-miss with some of the character likenesses. Specifically when it comes to Sisko's wife. That said the drawings of the various locations such as Quarks Bar are fairly strong. By far the strongest art is when we see a fleet of Dominion War-era Cardassian Ships go up against Sisko.

Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing have the voices of these characters down perfectly to the point that readers may find themselves reading dialog in the voices of the actors who played them, from Avery Brooks' jazz-like line deliveries as Sisko to Gates McFadden's playful bemusement at Quark's advances as Beverly Crusher.

Over all a great book, a few concepts that should have been left out as I don't know who they are trying to appeal to but other than that not bad.
Never seen Lower Decks, but kind of love that a character from that is here and being played seriously.
The writers spend the majority of this $5.00 issue setting up characters and relationships that we already know. It was a complete waste. In the original series, the ship was already in peril in the first five mins of the show. These guys can't get this moving in 20 pages of a comic. Finally, at the end, they walk right into a trap. Good job, Sisko. We also learn about these artifacts which are direct ripoffs of the Infinity stones. Not sure if I'll keep this title.
