A bold new chapter for STAR TREK begins here, in an all-new series that shows you what life is like for cadets at the galaxy's greatest school! Witness the student days of the iconic cast before they joined the Enterprise, immediately before the blockbuster 2009 film! Plus, meet an all-new group of students as they embark on bold new adventures of their own!
Overall, a fun first issue, which does not miss a beat from the new reboots and with the new characters, allows the reader to be immersed in the universe. The story by Mike Johnson and Ryan Parrott definitely gets the rhythm of the new reboot right while giving us hints of Guardians of the Galaxy. The art by Derek Charm is a perfect compliment to the series straddling the line between realistic and cartoon. Altogether, a strong effort by this creative team, which will bring back the fans from the first movie. Read Full Review

Overall..I could do without the callbacks to Star Trek (unless they fit into the story) and the characters could have used a little more of a diverse feel then I got off of them initially but this is a solid read and there's the potential of a good mystery, an intriguing follow up and decent artwork makes this a good way to spend time in the new star trek universe.

Overall, the first issue of Starfleet Academy plays its cards close to the chest as far as the direction the series will go but there's enough here to make me want to read more. Any flaws in artwork are forgivable when matched up with the familiar chemistry we've seen before between Kirk, Spock and Uhura. The new team is your standard rag-tag crew who have to find a way to work together despite their differences and you get the feeling there's the potential for them to go a few different directions depending on how they choose to get along with one another " or not! If the familiar characters continue to interact as they have in this issue with the new faces following suit, this could be a great arc to follow Read Full Review
Ultimately, its a well-put-together issue that unfortunately, doesnt immediately scream this series needs picking up. Theres potential, certainly, and Id be happy to gamble that itll get far more interesting as it picks up steam. For the moment, though, its not quite enough to steal December from that other Stellar Adventure. Read Full Review
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is a series that does everything right - except how to tell its own story. Read Full Review
Its possible personal bias is coloring this review. At the same time if the comic had been higher quality and amazing, it probably wouldnt have mattered. Honestly, more than franchise fidelity or prequel problems, this issues biggest misstepis its staggering mediocrity and lack of a clear audience. It just doesnt feel like a story thats meant for anyone aside from people really desperate for new Star Trek material who dont care where it comes from because its better than nothing.
