Star Trek #31

A determined Captain Kirk stares out from the cover of this 2014 IDW series installment, his gold command tunic and steely blue eyes framed against a vivid cosmic backdrop — with the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 looming large in the foreground. "I, Enterprise! Part 1 of 2" promises a two-part story with the starship itself at the heart of the tension, and cover artist Garry Gastonny delivers a composition that makes the ship feel as much a character as the captain. With Mike Johnson and Roberto Orci on the script and Erfan Fajar handling interior art, this is a compelling jumping-on point for fans of the Kelvin-timeline crew.
