    Star Trek: Starfleet Academy #2 is both enjoyable and interesting, but I can shake the feeling that they are going to finish off the opening story rather quickly and I'm hoping over the next few issues that they will prove me wrong. Read Full Review

    The idea of Academy years had been bandied around prior toThe Undiscovered Country, according to William Shattner's Movie Memoirs book. The fact that part of the idea was used for J.J.

    This book, while it started out decent with the first issue, just didn’t grab me here. The artwork for this book is really solid- the characters that are portrayed in this book often have the same look and mannerisms as their on-screen counterparts, which I appreciate. I liked the look of the scenes involving the Centennial Competition, much like the Harry Potter triwizard tournament where it pits the skills and abilities against that of another space exploration academy from beyond earth. Or, to really show how lame I am- it reminds me even more of the My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Friendship Games movie (currently streaming on Netflix- also NOT a sponsor of this broadcast). It had a “laser tag” event that felt similar to the battl more
