Star Trek Into Darkness

Matt, Brett, and producer Ben sneak away from a big Memorial Day picnic in order to talk about the latest Star Trek film, why it’s so divisive, and how long-term exposure to comic book continuity has influenced Matt and Brett’s take on the film. Also: how important is Peter Parker’s financial situation to the Spider-Man mythos?

Next week we will be reading Star Trek/X-Men #1 (1996) by Scott Lobdell with art provided by pretty much everyone that ever worked at Top Cow, and Star Trek: The Next Generation/X-Men: Second Contact #1 (1998) by Dan Abnett, Ian Edginton and Cary Nord. Ben’s a super Star Trek fan and Brett’s a super X-Men fan. Who will be more let down?!
