Star Trek #14

IDW's Kelvin-timeline Star Trek series reaches issue #14 with a striking cover by Tim Bradstreet that frames a Starfleet officer in red-and-black uniform at the center of a bold delta-shield composition, flanked by two menacing alien creatures — one a snarling, fang-filled beast in the foreground and another lurking in shadow behind. The moody, cinematic atmosphere Bradstreet brings to the piece perfectly captures the tension of a crew member caught between dangerous, otherworldly forces. With Mike Johnson writing and Stephen Molnar on interior art, this 2012 entry in IDW's ongoing series continues to deliver that blend of familiar faces and genuine peril that makes this run so compelling.
