Star Trek #4

'Star Trek' continues to take the franchise to strange bold new places, paying respect to what came before while charting its own course into the unknown. All the pieces are coming together as the mission of the Theseus gains new clarity, in an excellent very heavy science fiction perfect episode of Trek that is a gorgeous sight to behold.

STAR TREK #4 continues something that is becoming easy to take for granted: the more than successful blending of subtle character arcs, larger philosophy, and sci-fi wonder into a strong and compelling story. Trek is always at its best when it does this very thing, and so far the creative team on this STAR TREK hasnt missed. Read Full Review

Rosanas and Chudakov deliver some beautifully detailed art throughout the issue and I love the visual style of this series. Read Full Review

Star Trek #4 continues to show the creative team, and IDW fundamentally understands this series to perfection. This series feels like a lost episode of the show that deserves, nay, should, be filmed so audiences outside of comics fans can enjoy it. It's just that good. Read Full Review

This series keeps digging deep into Star Trek lore, finding new corners of the universe to explore and new lights to shine on these characters, and Star Trek fans could hardly ask for more. Read Full Review

This was really a throw-away issue. Nothing really happened. Sisko is conflicted about talking to his son, then there's a whole bunch of expository jargon about particles and tachyons that mean nothing to anyone and they spend far too much time on this. They find an organic celestial and run into the Klingons. What is most disappointing to me is that the writers are insisting on putting LGBTQ into it with a Vulcan no less. There was never a point in the history of Star Trek that Vulcans had LGTBQ in their culture and they stick an MX in front of the Vulcan's name. I'm not on board with that. Collins/Lanzing have done a horrible job on Capt America and this story had promise but seems to be going downhill fast. Just like Tomaki, I think I'm going to swear off these writers and anything they put out. more
