Star Trek #20

Two familiar faces in Starfleet gold are framed within the Starfleet delta on Tim Bradstreet's cover — a younger officer and a more seasoned one rendered against a moody backdrop of Federation and Klingon insignia, with technical schematics ghosted beneath them. The tension in their expressions hints at the stakes suggested by the story's title, "Red Level Down." IDW's 2013 run continues to deliver solid Star Trek storytelling, with Ryan Parrott, Mike Johnson, and Roberto Orci collaborating on the script alongside the artistic team of Claudia Balboni and Luca Lamberti.
