This week we return to a Post-Burn future for the latest issue of Star Trek: The Last Starship from IDW Publishing. The latest chapter in Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing’s epic story picks up with Jim Kirk seemingly falling prey to the Borg and taking the U.S.S. Omega with him. We’ll have to wait until July 15 to see exactly how third arc finale unfolds but in the meantime IDW has shared some new preview artwork with us that we’re taking a closer look at today.
To start us off, here’s a look at the main cover art for issue #9:
Before we dive into the preview pages from issue #9, let’s take a look at the full synopsis:
The U.S.S. Omega breaks apart. Captain Sato returns to his bridge to find Kirk—and the Borg—already in command. What follows is a phaser-point standoff over the ship’s future: surrender and survival…or war to save a dying galaxy. As arguments turn into action, Valqis is forced to choose a side—and a captain. In Sickbay, Zed makes an impossible call to save Vi from assimilation, uncovering a terrifying truth about the psychic singularity at Deep Space Hope. It proves hope may still exist… at a devastating cost. The Federation and the crew are divided. Two visions for the future emerge. One will rebuild. One will fight back. The line is drawn. The Galaxy will never be the same.
