Star Trek #5

This 2013 IDW collection places Uhura front and center in a striking photo-composite cover, her Starfleet uniform and composed expression commanding the frame as a ghostly Spock-like figure emerges in the lower half against a backdrop of swirling waveforms and cascading alien script. The design beautifully suggests themes of communication, connection, and the boundary between logic and emotion that define so much of Star Trek's enduring appeal. A handsome volume for fans of the Kelvin-timeline era.
