About the series
In 2016, IDW launched Star Trek: Manifest Destiny as a standalone one-shot comic by writers Mike Johnson and Ryan Parrott, with art by Angel Hernández. This single issue bridges the gap between the original series and Star Trek: The Motion Picture, offering a tense encounter with the Klingons that sets the stage for the film's cold war. It matters as a concise, officially-licensed expansion of the franchise's timeline, capturing the crew's transition from television to cinema.
