DC Comics’ Star Trek #8-12

#8-9
I don’t have 6 and 7 so I apparently missed the first two parts of this storyline, but it wasn’t terribly hard to pick up on what was going on. The villain, Sweeney, is pretty great.

#10
The “Trial” doesn’t actually begin until the last panels of this issue. Until then, there’s some great moments such as one particularly wonderful scene with Spock and Sarek, and then there’s an awkward moment where a lady in love with Kirk is swimming with Uhura and they talk about their sex lives (which is weirder than the fan dance in Star Trek V, which this takes place after).

#11-12
The Trial begins and it’s great. The Klingons are upset over Kirk’s “murder” of Kruge and his crew in III, and an alien named Salla is upset because Kirk allegedly violated the Prime Directive (in a previous issue, I guess), so he calls on various characters from Original Series episodes to testify against Kirk for repeatedly breaking the Directive. It’s a lot of fun, and the conclusion is rather explosive.
