5.0 out of 5 stars
NERO!,
This review is from: Star Trek: Nero (Star Trek (IDW)) (Paperback)
I highly recommend reading Countdown before reading this comic, it does a great job explaining how Nero went from a respectible miner to a genocidal murder, and why he hates Spock so much. This comic essentially covers what Nero was doing in the movie when Kirk was growing up. You may recall the scene from the movie where Kirk is trying to warn Captain Pike that they are going into a trap and Uhura mentions that a Klingon Fleet was destroyed by one massive ships, that scene is in this graphic novel.
5.0 out of 5 stars
It fills a critical knowledge gap in your understanding of the latest movie,
By Charles Ashbacher (Marion, Iowa United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: Star Trek: Nero (Star Trek (IDW)) (Paperback)
This graphic novel helps fill a major hole in the knowledge base that leads up to the events in the latest Star Trek movie. In that movie Nero is the captain of a rogue and extremely powerful Romulan vessel and he is determined to destroy the Federation. He destroys the planet Vulcan and then moves on in an attempt to destroy Earth. He uses the mysterious "red matter" a substance that is capable of instigating the formation of a gravitational singularity.
The source of that hatred is never really explained in the movie, so this book can be considered a prequel to the movie. It describes the traumatic events in Nero's life after the planet Romulus was destroyed, how he was captured by the Klingons and sent to the penal colony of Rura Penthe, where he was systematically tortured for years. However, while this book fills a great deal of the knowledge void, there are segments that will still be unclear. To completely fill the remaining gaps, such as the development of the "red matter", it is necessary to read additional books in this storyline. My first exposure to this new Star Trek storyline was watching the movie; I enjoyed it immensely but felt that my understanding was incomplete. This book among others; fills that gap and now when I watch the movie again I enjoy it more. I strongly encourage others to read this book and the others that fill the knowledge gap in the prequel to the movie. I am sure that this knowledge will also improve your enjoyment of the movie.

This review is from: Star Trek: Nero (Star Trek (IDW)) (Paperback)
A must for any Star Trek fan. Get more background as to what went on between Nero and Spock. Great artwork, decent story (I just wish there was more of it). Quality book. The MSRP is a bit overpriced, but an entertaining, quality product at a decent Amazon price.
