The movie’s got Klingons! For that reason alone, it’s a great movie. And the comic adaptation doesn’t disappoint. Here, the Enterprise crew risk their careers in order to possibly return Spock to life.
There’s some very interesting source material that was omitted from the movie in this issue that clears some stuff up. Apparently, the crew was supposed to bring McCoy, whose possessed with Spock’s “spirit” to Vulcan in order to have his soul preserved in a sacred temple. Kirk didn’t realize this and thought they needed his body back in order to return him to life. That’s why, in the movie, everyone acts like the re-joining process won’t work! Spock’s resurrection is like a million-to-one odds occurrence. Plus, Kirk and the crew risked serious jail time by stealing the Enterprise on a misunderstanding.
These bits of info make a really good film even better! I am so glad I found out about this adaptation while reading up on the IDW edition of Wrath of Khan. Without that little bit of info, I would have been missing out on an essential gem in my Star Trek comics collection.
Worth Consuming.
