Tasked with a mission from the Prophets, Benjamin Sisko enlists the help of an old friend from Qo'noS to track the ship and persons responsible for slaying the gods. From Star Trek: Year Five duo Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly (Batman Beyond, Captain America) and illustrated by Ramon Rosanas (Star Wars), continue the adventure in IDW's brand-new, flagship Star Trek ongoing series that features fan-favorite characters from every era of Trek!
The writers also managed to give us a brilliant cliffhanger ending that is going to keep us perched on the edge of our seats for the whole month. Read Full Review
'Star Trek' continues to bring bold concepts and intriguing mixes of characters together while adding so much to the almost sixty-year-old tapestry that is Star Trek. One of the things central to Trek shows has been the characters that we follow around, and those crew dynamics start to really form and gel in this second issue. Read Full Review
Chudakov delivers some beautifully detailed art throughout the issue. The visuals are fun, exciting and thrilling. Read Full Review
Star Trek #2 is a nice blend of storytelling styles taken from the three series it is principally borrowing from. In that way it feels fresh and not a retread of ideas weve seen before. And its focus on Ben Sisko, which ultimately drives many of the themes at work here, will be especially appreciated by Deep Space Nine fans. Read Full Review
IDW's 'Star Trek' continues to be as strongly written as an episode of TNG or DS9. Considering the many years of varying degrees of quality Star Trek comics, it's hard to believe, but it's a comic you can't put down especially if you love these characters. Read Full Review
The series also continues to borrow a modern X-Men vibe, with a data page explaining how the Klingon Empire the threat of fascism from within, and it works to give the issue some heft. It's a bit unwieldy compared to the debut issue, but still a stellar read. Read Full Review
Second issue is stronger than the first, with some great interaction between Sisko and Worf, and a great data moment. The only character Kelly and Lanzing don't have down yet is Paris.
I still like the cast and love the inclusion of Worf and the Klingons in this issue, but Data seems completely out of place and I wasn't a fan of the floating creatures.
