Star Trek Countdown is a graphic novel telling the story of what happens before the major motion picture, Star Trek.We learn that the villain of the movie, Nero, is a Romulan miner. They discover a star that is going nova (utter destruction) and, with the help of Ambassador Spock who now lives on Romulus, attempt to persuade the Romulans to ask for Vulcan assistance or meet their doom.
The Romulans refuse and their planet is destroyed. That's right; the planet from Star Trek Nemesis is destroyed.
Nero takes his Borg-amplified ship to seek out and destroy Spock. While in pursuit both ships get pulled into a black hole.
Thus begins the movie.
Star Trek: Countdown is a fun adventure all on its own. It gives fans a little background to this new villain while building on the anticipation for the film.
It also answers some of the questions concerning Captain Picard and Data/B4.
I'm not sure what non Star Trek fans would think of this...the artwork is great! So there's that much for them.
