From extremely bad to extremely good everything is included. The artwork is off most of the time, though. Kira and Garak are unrecognizable, while Picard is only possible to recognize because of being bald. Also the Cardassian storyline reads like there is a huge part missing. As if they left out full pages of dialogue that would explain what the heck is going on. And are they jumping back and forth in time (of the plot)? It all makes no sense at all. Also it’s a little annoying that in each of those comics violence is the main plot. War, armed robbery, deceit, ... Which is something that is becoming increasingly common within Trek comics. It’s as if IDW glorifies violence, because there are no normal expeditional or humorous comics. They never reach the heart of Trek, the optimism and the belief that mankind can mature and leave poverty and hatred behind. That’s distinctly missing from IDWs Trek comic portfolio and it shows more and more that the (mainly male!) authors either aren’t allowed to write about anything than disgusting violence, or they are simply unable to. But nonetheless the comics about the Tribbles and about Klingons were enjoyable, the one about Q would need more fleshing out. That storyline would be fit for a whole 300 pages novel. This way it seemed too rushed, but it had potential. Only the Romulans and Cardassians disappointed completely.
