Star Trek #8

IDW's bold new era of Star Trek continues with a story that is jam-packed full of equal parts character development, big plot developments, and nostalgia/easter eggs used to build a world rather than empty treats for fans. This is the sequel series that Deep Space Nine fans have been waiting a long time for, and it only seems to get better with every new issue. Read Full Review

This might be my favorite issue thus far in the Star Trek flagship title from IDW. This particular issue featured a connection to one of my favorite DS9 non-Dominion War episodes, and also doubled down with the reintroduction of Garak. Read Full Review

At a certain point in this story. We get a nice homage paid to the Deep Space Nine TV show as we see Jake Sisko recall the adventure he had with his dad when they navigated space in a Bajorian Sail Barge. The art for this segment, which sees Theseus kitted out with Bajoran Sales is brilliant to look at. It also made me smile seeing Tom Paris's big goofy grin while using an old ship's steering wheel to steer the ship. Read Full Review

Feehan delivers some impressive and beautifully detailed imagery throughout the issue. I loved seeing the devastation of the Cardassian home world as well as the moments in space. The visuals are really immersive. Read Full Review

Star Trek #8 feels even more like a direct successor to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine than any of the issues preceding it. Read Full Review

Nice twist and turn story. This should be the story told on televison not the crapfest they have been pumping out to get access to SRMF money.

Love it just for Garak, Tom Paris at the wheel, and Data talking to Spot. Silly at times, but just keeps hitting all the really cool Star Trek notes. (Note to Lanzing and Kelly: you need to find a way to use characters from Prodigy before everyone forgets they exist.)
