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!
