 Hey guys, welcome back to Comic Getting TV where all geek culture collides I'm Shannon and today We're gonna be taking a look at the Star Trek Q gambit part one of six. So stay tuned What happens when the crew of the Star Trek Kelvin verse film franchise Encounter the Q continuum for the first time when the Kelvin verse was created What happened to the original Star Trek timeline? What will become of many of the Star Trek crew of the future such as those aboard Deep Space Nine and Has Kirk finally come face-to-face with the ultimate no-win scenario that he can't cheat his way out of We'll find out in this six-part story from IDW publishing from July 2014 written by Mike Johnson with art by Tony Shasteen. This story really caught my interest I'm not going to review the entire series as a whole right now instead I'm going to release six separate reviews one review for each issue That way if you don't want to be spoiled of the ending then you can feel free to skip the final installment of this series for now Let's stick with issue number one We open with Spock and Nero entering the maelstrom the entire galaxy believed the two and Nero's crew dead a Short-time lighter. We're aboard the USS Enterprise NCC 1701 E Which is currently captained by data We join Jean-Luc Picard in his quarters as he's resigned his Starfleet commission and became ambassador to Vulcan Q has come to make small talk once more with Picard about Spock For the first time since the events that opened this comic Picard learns from Q The Spock lives in fact not only does Spock live but he lives in a parallel timeline However Picard refuses to hear anymore as no man should know the events inside parallel timelines Just as they shouldn't know about the future It's best that the integrity of each timeline be maintained Q reveals that he's visiting Picard to receive his counsel It seems well Spock's journey has saved the main timeline It also triggered a sequence of events that will certainly doom the other Picard tries to convince Q not to interfere But is unsuccessful Q doesn't make his presence known to Kirk right away But remains in the background as a crewman it isn't until Q puts the Enterprise crew in what he considers a no-win situation and Causes the destruction of the Enterprise that he reveals himself to Kirk While standing on the outer hall of the Enterprise with the captain Q reveals there are some tests You can't cheat is revealed that this issue takes place a few months after Star Trek into darkness It's Q's job here to prepare Kirk for the inevitable and with that we receive an ending shot of Deep Space 9 Honestly, I really like this issue It was really cool seeing how Q and Kirk would interact since we never got that in live-action form Kirk seems to be a little more intrigued by Q as opposed to Picard who sees him as more of a nuisance Cisco who is angered by him enough that he punched him in their first and only encounter and Janeway who viewed Q as more of that annoying little brother Kirk on the other hand it seems that though confused by Q at first actually takes more of an I'll show you type approach to him if you haven't had a chance. I recommend checking this issue out It doesn't matter if you're a fan of the original timeline or the Kelvin verse timeline This issue has something for both fan bases. I'm Shannon for come again TV.
