Star Trek #4

IDW's Star Trek #4 continues "The Galileo Seven Part 2," and Tim Bradstreet's cover sets a tense, atmospheric tone — a commanding officer in a gold uniform stares out beneath a skeletal figure surrounded by scattered bones and a phaser, while a figure seen from behind and a woman in a red uniform flank the central Starfleet delta shield motif. The composite design, framed against a distant planet, captures the danger and isolation at the heart of this story without giving a single thing away. Written by Mike Johnson with art by Stephen Molnar and Joe Phillips, this 2011 IDW series brings a fresh energy to Trek storytelling that fans of the rebooted universe won't want to miss.
