“The Illinoian Job”

In "The Illinoian Job," Captain Freeman takes a bold stand when the Cerritos is grounded for repairs, defying Starfleet orders to command a new vessel and race back to Laapoonia in a desperate mission to find her missing crew—declared dead by the Federation but not by her. Written by Tim Sheridan and brought to life by Vernon Smith’s dynamic art and Charlie Kirchoff’s vivid colors, this issue blends high-stakes urgency with the series’ signature humor, all wrapped in a cover by Vernon Smith that captures the tension of a crew on the edge.
