Star Trek: Countdown to Darkness #2 Review

From Evernote:

Star Trek: Countdown to Darkness #2



4 / 5

So far so good. The first issue didn't bring much to the table regarding the next film, but it did end with a nice surprise. This one goes all the way. We're learning that Kirk's Enterprise is actually the second Enterprise. We're learning about what is most likely going to be Carol Marcus's father having served under Robert April on the Enterprise. Prime Directive issues. It's great. It's impossible to judge this as a tie-in to the film without knowing first what the plot of the film is going to be. As such I can comment only on the book as a stand-alone title, and on this front it's succeeding. I'm interested to see where it goes. I just wish is it had a little more time to get from point-to-point. I feel like some things are being rushed a little in light of a very definite time limit. Can't wait for next month's issue.
