Star Trek: Manifest Destiny #1 Review

Star Trek: Manifest Destiny #1. Mike Johnson, Ryan Parrott, and Angel Hernandez. 2016. IDW Publishing. 24 pages.

Rating: 3/5

Disclaimer: I received a free e-copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is the first issue in a new Star Trek comic series. The character art is based off the latest movie franchise.

The Enterprise crew encounters Klingons after investigating a distress signal. It features Dr. McCoy pretty heavily, especially in the pages leading up to the ship receiving the distress signal. The characters were represented pretty well, both in the art and their behavior. That includes the Klingons as well as the Enterprise crew. The art didn't wow me at any point though and the story seemed pretty standard fare for the setting.

It is an okay introduction into this new series. I've watched most of the Star Trek movies and shows, but this just didn't hook me well enough to want to keep reading.
