If you’ve been paying attention, you might have noticed that I haven’t been all that fond of the TNG comics. They’ve all been, oh, what’s the word I am looking for. . . .awful! Yeah, that’s it.

This collection is the first that is at least moderately okay.

LaForge and Riker get captured by Ferengi while off snow-surfing (?) and then there’s “Journey to Babel” knock-off with assassination attempts at a diplomatic event. Ultimately, there’s some cool stuff in there with Romulans who wear light blue and checkered yellow. It’s pretty fab. Medical Officer Selar shows up, which is cool, too.

Okay Maelstrom, into the collection with you, never to be heard from again.
