The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of STAR
TREK #6 from IDW Publishing. Mike
Johnson wrote the story based off the original teleplay “Operation:
Annihilate!” by Oliver Crawford and Steven W. Carabatsos. The art is by Joe
Corroney.
This is the concluding chapter of the classic STAR TREK
episode “Operation: Annihilate!” that takes place in the new timeline set forth
in the 2009 movie. While Dr. McCoy is treating Spock from injuries sustained by
the alien life form that is on the planet Deneva, Scotty is trying to find out
what is causing the force field that is affecting the Enterprises engines. Spock
developed a way to destroy creatures and free himself and the colonists. But
will Spock’s theory work and what will it cost?
I have enjoyed this new series and taking the classic
episodes and altering them due the change in the timeline. If you are familiar
with the episode and haven’t read issue #5, I won’t spoil the change in this
episode, go read the book! While it doesn’t have a major affect in the outcome
of the story, I enjoyed it. Corroney’s art is great and does an excellent job
carrying the actor’s likeness throughout the book. I am definitely interested
in the next issue as it’s an all-new story and will deal with some of the
issues that came about from the movie. This will be the first original story
and I’m curious to see how this will go.
