This special edition comic came in a loot crate. It tells the story of Data in the Mirror Universe. It helps explains why he is so loyal to Picard and where is Borg implants come from. I think it fills in a lot of blanks on why Data is so ruthless and adapts so well to the barbaric life of a Terran officer on a Terran ship.

I got this one as part of a Lootcrate. This comic traces the origin of data in the mirror universe. I do find the borgification of data interesting. I'd love to know more about the borg in the mirror universe in subsequent comics.

A very cool idea and a good execution of it. I wanted more, but for a one-shot prelude that’s okay. Wish the art could have been the same as in the larger series and that this could be a short series of its own, but I enjoyed the issue.

They do so many of these parallel universe tales that it's stale and undistinguished at this point.

This one stands out only for being short, and difficult to find copies of since it was apparently limited in it's distribution.

[Rob Cook]

A nice dip into the mirror universe and Captain Picard's first encounter with Data. Brent Spiner's likeness as Doctor Soong gives massive Independence Day vibes too.
