Star Trek: Year Five #3

In "Communication Breakdown [Part 1]," the Enterprise returns to Sigma Iotia II, where Kirk, Spock, and McCoy encounter a society that has evolved from its gang-based roots into a functioning democracy—though a rebellious faction still opposes the new order. Meanwhile, Scotty labors to create a stable environment for the Tholian child, as tensions simmer beneath the surface of a world in transition. Written by Brandon Easton and illustrated by Martin Coccolo, with colors by Fran Gamboa and letters by Neil Uyetake, this 2019 IDW issue features a cover by Stephen Thompson.
