Your review	The most consistently enjoyable Star Trek comics from IDW have been those written by the Tipton brothers with art by David Messina, and this was no exception. While no epic triumph, it's one of those kind of works that the word "solid" was coined to describe. The collection's plot is a little strange-- that level of access to Federation facilities and all the Romulans try to do is kidnap Data to help them with their science project?-- but at least there are no moments of utter bafflement as in IDW's previous tNG story, The Space Between. The highlight is the Tiptons' ability to capture the tNG characters, from Picard to O'Brien, most especially Riker and Data, who repeatedly shine throughout this collection. On the other hand, the chapter that focuses on the women of the Enterprise-D (Troi, Crusher, and Ro) strangely has them all under alien mind control! So what's the point? David Messina's characteristic artwork is also as strong as ever. Looking forward to this team's next collaboration, Mirror Images.
