Celebrating the 25th anniversary of Star Trek: The Next Generation!
In the distant future the entire galaxy has been completely assimilated by Borg and it's king… Locutis!

Brannon Braga is one of the writers most associated with the Star Trek Franchise. He has written a number of fondly remembered episodes of TNG, including co-writing the two-part series finale, "All Good Things…," for whi more
Overall, this is definitely a great start to this event. If you want to see these characters again with the popular Borg as the threat, you'll definitely want to pick this up. The writing is smart, and c'mon, it's Next Gen with the Borg, not much else can get better than that. Read Full Review
It's great to see a strong supporting cast with Capt. William Riker, Data and Seven of Nine. Even with the two timelines the story flows very smooth and keeps you engaged from start to finish. Read Full Review

The characters are generally recognizable in terms of actor likenesses, but there's a lot more to proper comic storytelling than that. Read Full Review
