The Beginning of the End Continues with IDW's 'Year Five'

Writers Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly, joined by artist Stephen Thompson, are back today with Star Trek: Year Five #2, the second chapter in their comic-book miniseries for IDW Publishing. The new adventure follows the classic U.S.S. Enterprise crew as they warp toward the end of their five-year mission. In a recent video interview with StarTrek.com, Kelly called "getting to bring the crew home" an "incredible responsibility," and he described Year One as "the bridge between The Original Series and The Motion Picture, and the entire legacy of Star Trek."

IDW offered this Year Five #2 tease: As the last year of their original mission begins, the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise will have to use all of the skills they’ve acquired along the way as they prepare to face the biggest challenge of their lives - a dark threat that doesn’t just threaten their existence, but the existence of the entire Federation as well…

StarTrek.com is pleased to share an exclusive first look at preview pages from Year Five #2, which features a cover by Thompson. The title is 32 pages and costs $3.99.
