Star Trek Spock: Reflections

Star Trek Spock:  Reflections Graphic Novel Collection Volume 04     First appearing in 2009 as a four issue mini-series and released as a graphic novel collection from IDW at the start of the following year, the first thing to say about Spock:  Reflections is that it is an enjoyable read.  And yes, I’ll get to the ‘but’ in a moment.
