Issue description
Space. The final frontier. This is the voyage of the Starship Enterprise. Her five-year
mission to explore strange new worlds? It continues here, with the launch of Year Four in
the Original Series’ five-year mission. Boldly going where no man has gone before are
writer David Tischman (Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Space Between) and artist
Kelsey Shannon (Ashley Wood’s Swallow), who is providing full art and colors on this
opening issue, as well as a cover that hearkens back to ‘60s Star Trek comics. Up first,
Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise discover the Strand, the multi-
planet construct of a dead civilization, run by a brilliant genetic scientist who's obsessed
with repopulating it. When Kirk discovers the scientist's secret, his creations revolt,
forcing Kirk to make a hard decision and pushing the Enterprise into the crossfire! Joe
Corroney will provide variant covers for the entire series, and ask your retailer how to get
a special incentive cover by artist Eric Canete, too!
