Star Trek: Deviations - Threads of Destiny turned out to be a huge disappointment. The story was extremely bland with nothing interesting happening at all. Uhura goes back to 1963, meets some activists, then gets rescued. That's it. Martin Luther King made a cameo appearance, but even that managed to be boring. Also, they spoiled Dr. King's appearance on the credits page. None of the characters had any depth and the dialogue was just people talking about injustice and inspiration.
This was a story about Uhura traveling back to 1963 and participating in the civil rights movement, so it had a lot of potential. The characters would've had more depth if they shared personal stories of the discrimination they faced. It was also a time travel story, so Uhura could've made some kind of impact like saving someone's life or inspiring someone. I realize she's not supposed to change history, but not every person will have a major effect on the timeline.
And why did they decide to illustrate the story in the style of a Gold Key comic? I thought this was supposed to be a serious story. Not that anyone could possibly mistake it for a Gold Key comic because it lacked a sense of adventure. And what's with the evil grin and red eyes that the Guardian of Forever aka Carl displays when Kirk and Spock go through the portal?
