I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.

Knocking down two stars for 'lens' flares

Star Trek: Countdown to Darkness - Roberto Orci, Mike Johnson, David Messina

Or the mimicking of them, which was just absolutely ridiculous.   And sadly, I loved the art, I loved the writing, I loved the story, and I loved what they did with the old continuity to make it new - one character in particular.  

 

 

Mudd. 

 

 

Mudd is a half-Bajoran, half-human woman - who hits on Kirk a lot.   Which made me giggle.

 

(show spoiler)

 

It's a nice tie-in to Into Darkness... except the flares.  The flares were ridiculous, and at some points used in every panel, including partially over a characters face. I realize it was trying to mimic the look of the first, and second, movie - but it was trying to hard in this case.   It distracted from the story, from the artwork, and from my enjoyment.   It pulled me out of the story. 

 

I really, really despised the use of it in comic/graphic novel format.   If you're willing to put up with it, though, this is a wonderful read otherwise.
