The exciting weekly Star Trek horror event continues through all of October! Redjac—posing as JACK THE RIPPER—has infiltrated the Enterprise-D and taken control of the holodeck, luring unsuspecting victims and feeding on their fear. Not to mention Redjac has turned Data into a monstrous incarnation of Frankenstein. With more and more crewmates falling victim, Captain Picard and his crew decide to fight fear with fear and turn themselves into classic Terran monsters to confront Redjac.
Redjac is posing as Jack the Ripper and is feeding off of crewmembers' fear. He's even transformed Data into Frankenstein's monster and is controlling him.
Sometimes the only way to fight fear is with fear itself and so the crew of the Enterprise make it so, by posing as classic Monsters to take down Jack the Ripper, thanks to some research from Dr. Crusher.
It's a really fun read with a swift plot, but minus one star due to the art within. It's not my favorite and often, I can't tell which character is speaking.
I'm not a horror anything fan, books, movies, comics, whatever, but this is a neat enough concept for me to have taken a flyer on. It's a fun little side adventure for the TNG crew, and this issue delves into the point of them becoming famous monsters, and from a Trek-talk standpoint, it actually makes a little more sense than I expected it to.
Also, random note, this series is printed on a glossier paper than the flagship and Defiant series are on. I like it, actually. Feels like better quality.
