The mods have decided to have weekly comic reviews to help get the Treklit (book and comic) discussion going here.
Suggest you look at the thread under @[email protected]’s pinned review this week of the newest issues of Defiant and Dog of War. You can also scan their listing of posts for other comic reviews. (I believe an earlier issue of Dog of War was reviewed a couple of weeks back.)
I haven’t myself got to these two series yet. (I usually wait for the omnibuses.)
My own take on IDW’s StarTrek comics is that they are picking up again overall in writing, art and even printing/binding after what seems to have been a bit of a meh period of mixed quality. Definitely worth checking out if you are into comics and open to stories that take place in timelines other than the onscreen alpha canonical ones.
My unexpected favourite recently has been the Lower Decks series. I was very doubtful that they could find a writer who could capture the humour and voice of the show. Eisner winner Ryan North nailed it, and Chris Fenoglio’s art is true to the animation.
