Star Trek #42

The concluding chapter of "Behemoth" arrives in this 2015 IDW entry in the five-year mission series, and Cat Staggs's cover sets the tension perfectly — Kirk and Spock loom large against a deep-space backdrop while an enormous, enigmatic creature dwarfs even the U.S.S. Enterprise, which floats in an eerie blue luminescence beneath it. The scale of that looming entity against the familiar starship makes for a genuinely striking image, hinting at the kind of cosmic confrontation that the Trek universe does so well. With Mike Johnson scripting and Staggs handling both pencils and inks, this wrap-up looks like a satisfying end to a two-part encounter with something truly massive.
