First Officer Wowie Carter was once called the child without fear. But with the Federation in freefall and Earth still reeling from a brutal Klingon assault, fear is all that remains—and Wowie is cracking under its weight. The U.S.S. Omega’s mission is clear: Gather the final delegates for the Babel Conference, the Federation’s last, fragile chance at unity. A future of peace still seems possible…on paper. But every time Wowie returns to Earth, the home they once loved slips further into despair. As alliances fracture and chaos spreads, Wowie faces a question no one dares ask: What’s left to save when hope is already gone?
Commander Wowie carries this issue with grace, anchoring a deeply personal story about isolation, time, and the cost of turning inward. The Last Starship continues to prove itself as essential Star Trek reading, blending real-world commentary with spectacular visuals. Read Full Review

It's an issue that should be read, examined, and ruminated upon. It highlights what makes Star Trek so great. Read Full Review
We've loved every issue of this book since the stellar launch, but this chapter gets extremely personal, emotional, and downright tragic. Read Full Review
Star Trek: The Last Starship #4 trades spectacle for sorrow, delivering a quietly devastating meditation on time, family, and inevitability. By grounding its high-concept sci-fi in deeply human loss, the issue reinforces why this series feels like a true reinvention of Star Trek. It may slow the pace, but the emotional weight lingers long after the final page. Read Full Review
