Star Trek The Modala Imperative

Read reviews and discussion of Star Trek: The Modala Imperative #1 from Michael Jan Friedman and Pablo Marcos, published by DC Comics

An 8 book mini series split into two stories, one with the TOS crew and one with the TNG crew, published right before Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country was released with letters in the back half from fans concerned about where the franchise was going and suggesting various things about new strips. Covers are all by Adam Hughes, which is apparent if you check out Uhura on #1 of the TOS series and Troi on the TNG series.

The stories themselves are just ok, and the interior art is just as ok, but I’m more impressed with the letter pages at the very end of each issue and the timing of things. It’s not a bad series to check out, and the hand off from TOS to TNG is done very well.

It’s fun to see this version of the bad guys too.

Fantastic Four

When Reed and Sue decide the family needs to relax, they take Ben, Johnny and the kids on a year-long vacation – through all of time and space! And in the absence of Marvel’s First Family, a handpicked substitute FF – Ant-Man, Medusa, She-Hulk and the new Ms. Thing – stand ready to guard the Earth. What could possibly go wrong? As Reed Richards struggles to hide his true motivations and the Future Foundation reacts to their mentors’ replacements, Doom the Annihilating Conqueror rises! Collects: Fantastic Four (2012) 1-16, 5AU; FF (2012) 1-16; Marvel Now! Point One 1

Vol 5 or 6, depending on who you ask, which is frustrating as a comic fan.

This was a cool hook: For reasons mentioned in secret, it’s time for Mr Fantastic to explore the unknown universe and meet all sorts of cool creatures and features, ultimately culminating in a weird confrontation with Dr Droom. That’s a big spoiler for the story, but it’s hard to not mention it with a cover like that.

The book had a neat hook: due to time dilation mcguffins, the Fantastic Four would leave earth, do their exploration, then be back in only a few minutes. Things being what they are though, the Fantastic Four knew that if they left for even a moment without a replacement team, something would happen that would force them to come back immediately, so they sign up four superheroes to be the “FF”. Not the Fantastic Four, that name is staying with the family, but just “FF”. There’s another series out there that’s included in a hardcover collection, but I didnt read that, I dislike the art in it and honestly I don’t have interest in the team that much.

This is a good series, right up until the last book, which is where the artist from the side series was brought over to close out the Fantastic Four series. I didn’t like the final issue and I’m sad that the original artist wasn’t able to finish the series.

A sidenote, this was the first book that I honestly tried to use the AR features that all the Marvel books had at the time, but the app is delisted and all the content is spread to the winds.

What a waste.

Volume 10 or Volume 11, depending on who you ask, all I know is it’s the last story before marvel switched over to their fancy new legacy numbering system.

Lilo & Stitch

Directed by Dean DeBlois, Chris Sanders. With Daveigh Chase, Chris Sanders, Tia Carrere, David Ogden Stiers. A Hawaiian girl adopts an unusual pet who is actually a notorious extra-terrestrial fugitive.

There’s a Lilo & Stitch cinematic universe on Disney+ and I’m dipping my toes right into it. I’ve already this the first movie, but I watched it again to remind me why I loved it so much, it’s one of the few solid science fiction films from Disney, and it combines Polynesian concepts to great effect.

Oliver

Award-winning screenwriter GARY WHITTA (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, The Book Of Eli) teams with celebrated artist DARICK ROBERTSON (Transmetropolitan, HAPPY!, The Boys) for a new take on a literary classic—with a futuristic twist. OLIVER re-imagines Charles Dickens’ most famous orphan as a…

I like the concept but from the publication schedule of this series, it looks like we’re only going to get the four issues that are already published. This is a post apocalyptic story that has some cool story beats, but it just sorta ends with a goofy ass cliffhanger in the fourth issue and it’s been 4 months since that came out.

I’ve noticed this with a few Image series and it’s worrying.

Spider-Man

In 1962’s Amazing Fantasy #15, fifteen-year-old Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider and became the Amazing Spider-Man! 57 years have passed in the real world since that event – so what would have happened if the same amount of time passed for Peter as well? To celebrate Marvel’s 80th anniversary, Chip Zdarsky and Spider-Man legend Mark Bagley unite to spin a unique Spidey tale – telling an entire history of Spider-Man from beginning to end, set against the key events of the decades through which he lived! Prepare to watch Peter Parker age through 57 years of groundbreaking history – and find out what happens to him, and those he loves the most! Collecting: Spider-Man: Life Story 1-6

Highly entertaining, I feel like there’s about 20 other mini series that could be made by the space between the issues of this series. It was fun to see familiar storylines all merged together to tell the story of the one true Spider-man over 60 years of his life.
