With no one but himself to blame for his brother's sudden escape during the Klingon Day of Blood, Lieutenant Commander Data sheds his Starfleet uniform for an ensemble inspired by none other than Sherlock Holmes to track down Lore's whereabouts... and figure out what sinister plans he's been scheming. With the one and only Miles O'Brien as his Watson at his side, there is no mystery that Detective Data can't solve!
Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing do a great job of capturing the voices of these well-known Star Trek characters. As a fan of TNG and DS9, I was thrilled to see Chief O'Brien get a bit of a role in this story. Read Full Review
Stott delivers some fantastic art throughout the issue. I love the visual style of the issue and how beautifully detailed the imagery is. Read Full Review
The story is surprisingly emotional as conflicts internal and external hinge on a lapse in Data's learned humanity that may have derailed Lore's redemptive arc as Data is unable to reckon with his error in judgment, the slight he inflicted on his brother when the hand of reconciliation was outstretched. All of this makes Star Trek Annual 2024 an essential and rewarding read. Read Full Review
A great follow up to previous events, and some of K&L's best writing in this series. They do an incredible Data, and a strong Geordi. But the highlight is the art, especially that one page of expressive Brent Spiner faces. It's like he was in the room when it was drawn, like he was with us.
Plus Spot the Cat, action hero! (How old is Spot by now anyway?)
