KIRK vs. KIRK! A duel to save the Universe from OBLIVION!
Background Information
- This story would be reprinted in Enterprise Log 4 and a later reprint of that volume from the Star Trek: The Key Collection series.
- The plot of this story bears an uncanny resemblance to TNG: "Time Squared". The only difference is, in order for the ship to escape the infinity loop in this comic, it was important for Kirk to not kill his duplicate from the previous loop, this is the "choice" referred to by the title.
Creators
- Based on Star Trek created by Gene Roddenberry
- Artist: Alberto Giolitti
- Writer: Len Wein

- Lt. in the operations division who was a member of the Enterprise crew. Nova discovers that, at the universe's origin point, she has the ability to power her EV pod with her mind. Spock orders the crew to tap this ability, using Nova as a conduit, for every Enterprise crewmember to use their force of will to propel the ship from the void.
