‘star trek’ #4 continues to be quintessential star trek.

‘Star Trek’ #4 is an excellent chapter in a series about finding a god.

The hunt to stop a god killer and find an invisible god continues in Star Trek #4, out this week. The question is if gods exist, can you find them with science? It’s answered in this excellent fourth issue, which continues to balance new characters with icons like Sisko, Worf, Data, and Scotty. Given this series has felt like an organic extension of Deep Space Nine , can it possibly do us wrong in this latest chapter?

I can’t get over how good the dialogue is in Star Trek #4, written by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly. It might appear easy, but the techno-sciency jargon from the characters in this issue is excellent. Sure it may not make a ton of sense, but it sounds legit and gives the characters an air of expertise that’s very much Star Trek .

Worf, Data, and Sisko’s characterizations are also expertly done. When Worf’s anger starts to get the better of him, Sisko corrects and gets him back on track. Little nuances between the characters feel true to the characters while also reminding us that this crew works together. I dare you to read this and not feel like it’s another classic episode in the Deep Space Nine  or TNG era.

The character acting is fabulous in this issue. Credit: IDW

Star Trek #4 opens with a data page, revealing the incredible technology of the T’Kon. Another highlight this series gets right is the spectacle of unknown space and alien species. The very idea of a species that can rearrange a solar system is incredible. The impossible idea was made possible, and you’ll be hoping we find out how or why.

The dialogue can sometimes feel dense, particularly when Klingon savior Kahless pops into the story. His character represents something important to the story, but what he says is preachy and seemingly postulated to sound big. This is uttered near the end of the book when the good guys and bad guys are hurtling towards the object the series has been building towards, seemingly taking away from the moment and focusing too much on Kahless.

The art by Ramon Rosanas and Oleg Chudakov is great, hammering home the characters’ emotions and likenesses. There are great reaction shots throughout, either playing up comedy or drama. Colors by Lee Loughridge are also excellent, capturing the warm blue light of the stations characters are at on the bridge and adding some depth to faces and backgrounds. A full-page spread featuring a wow-factor moment is also exceptionally done by the art team.

Star Trek #4 continues to show the creative team, and IDW fundamentally understands this series to perfection. This series feels like a lost episode of the show that deserves, nay, should, be filmed so audiences outside of comics fans can enjoy it. It’s just that good.

'Star Trek' continues to take the franchise to strange bold new places, paying respect to what came before while charting its own course into the unknown. All the pieces are coming together as the mission of the Theseus gains new clarity, in an excellent very heavy science fiction perfect episode of Trek that is a gorgeous sight to behold.

STAR TREK #4 continues something that is becoming easy to take for granted: the more than successful blending of subtle character arcs, larger philosophy, and sci-fi wonder into a strong and compelling story. Trek is always at its best when it does this very thing, and so far the creative team on this STAR TREK hasnt missed. Read Full Review

This series keeps digging deep into Star Trek lore, finding new corners of the universe to explore and new lights to shine on these characters, and Star Trek fans could hardly ask for more. Read Full Review

This was really a throw-away issue. Nothing really happened. Sisko is conflicted about talking to his son, then there's a whole bunch of expository jargon about particles and tachyons that mean nothing to anyone and they spend far too much time on this. They find an organic celestial and run into the Klingons. What is most disappointing to me is that the writers are insisting on putting LGBTQ into it with a Vulcan no less. There was never a point in the history of Star Trek that Vulcans had LGTBQ in their culture and they stick an MX in front of the Vulcan's name. I'm not on board with that. Collins/Lanzing have done a horrible job on Capt America and this story had promise but seems to be going downhill fast. Just like Tomaki, I think I'm going to swear off these writers and anything they put out. more

Chris Pine Wonders How ‘Star Trek 4’ Will Deal With Kirk Now That He Is “A Lot Older”

| July 3, 2024 | By: TrekMovie.com Staff 66 comments so far

We are just a few weeks away from the 8th anniversary of the release of Star Trek Beyond , the third entry in the Kelvin timeline Star Trek movies staring Chris Pine as James T. Kirk. Paramount continues to say they are committed to a follow up movie, and now the star is starting to wonder how it will deal with how he isn’t getting any younger.

Pine curious about Star Trek 4

For the last couple of years, since he has recommitted to return as James T. Kirk for a fourth Star Trek movie, actor Chris Pine has often expressed his enthusiasm for the return, but also some frustrations. His latest comments from from a recent appearance at ACE Superhero Comic in San Antonio, TX. Pine acknowledged the well-reported ups and downs the Beyond sequel has gone through over the past decade (via PopVerse ), saying “In terms of the next phase of [Star Trek], obviously you’re all fans, so I’m sure you’ve read it.”

The actor then talked about how he and his fellow cast are ready to get back to the Enterprise, but he wonders how the movie will deal with how he is getting older, saying:

“We all like one another a lot. I’m good friends with everybody I’ve worked with. We have a great time doing it. I’m a lot older now, so I would be curious where that next story lands us in terms of what it would be and what we’ve said in the press.”

Pine, now 43, was 29 when he first appeared as James T. Kirk in the 2009 Star Trek movie. Last year the actor talked about how he was hoping to do “many more” movies as Kirk, saying it would be “super cool” to play the same character through the course of his career. Original Kirk actor William Shatner was 35 when the Star Trek television show premiered and 63 when he last appeared as the character in the 1994 film Star Trek: Generations . Pine is still younger than Shatner when he played Admiral Kirk in Star Trek: The Motion Picture  in 1979. In Star Trek Beyond , Kirk turned down a promotion to admiral and was set to head out on a new USS Enterprise (NCC 1701-A). If the next movie were set a decade later, Kirk and his crew could have already completed two 5-year missions.

Various follow-ups to Beyond have been in the works over the last 8 years. In March of this year, it was reported that Paramount and producer J.J. Abrams had brought on yet another screenwriter to take a crack at what the studio is now calling the final movie for the Kelvin crew. Pine later expressed some frustration with this move, telling Business Insider “I thought there was already a script, but I guess I was wrong, or they decided to pivot. As it’s always been with ‘Trek,’ I just wait and see.”

Even now entering middle age, Pine is still keeping it sharp. He recently shaved off his beard (but kept the ‘stache) as can be seen from an appearance at a fashion event in Milan in mid-June…

The next Star Trek feature film expected to come out of Paramount is the “ Untitled Star Trek Origin Story ” which Paramount recently confirmed as part of its 2025/2026 slate. This movie would have a new cast. Earlier this year, Paramount and producer J.J. Abrams had tapped Andor ‘s Toby Haynes to direct, based on a script from Seth Grahame-Smith ( The Lego Batman Movie ). Paramount is also reportedly talking to producer Simon Kinberg about shepherding the film franchise , starting with that origin movie. This next Star Trek movie was mentioned during the Paramount Global shareholder meeting in June with co-CEO Brian Robbins saying it is “coming soon,” and touting Trek as one of the company’s “billion dollar brands.”

This is the longest five-year mission in history…

Just because the TOS timeline had 5-yr.missions, there is no reason the Kelvin timeline would.

They mention it’s a five year mission in one of the movies.

But Into Darkness established that they did, and Beyond confirmed that they were halfway through one.

It certainly is. Eight years since Beyond, wow.

It’s been so long since the last Star Trek movie set in the Kelvin timeline, that by the time they finally make another one none of the crew of the Enterprise will still serve on that ship.

They’ll all have moved on to other assignments, pretty much like the original cast did in The Motion Picture.

I mean I don’t think they can just pick up where they left off in Beyond , so yeah the next one (if it happens) will hopefully skip ahead a decade or so.

At this point, what was it all for? The Kelvin movies did nothing for Star Trek. It was Discovery, Picard, Lower Decks, SNW, etc that saved it. The Kelvin movies contributed nothing.

While certainly not my favorite Trek, I would like to see it get a final outing. Of course, as long as that final outing doesn’t come at the expense of other Trek.

Star Trek did not need saving and Discovery has done the franchise no favours.

‘Beyond’ flopped and stalled the movie series. Disc at least has led to multi spin off shows and ST first TVM.

During the moments that worked (not saying there were a ton of them), BEYOND felt a lot more like STAR TREK than anything else I’ve seen this whole century.

didn’t help the film series though.

That seemed to a big reason the movie underperformed!, JJs films seemed to hit that sweet spot of appealing to moviegoers who wouldn’t been seen dead watching ST and the hardcore trekkies (ok maybe not ID for some fans lol), but Beyond missed the target .. Ironically Orci’s ST3 was apparently canned for being ‘too star trek’ yet sounded much more appealing for movie audiences (dealing with time travel/timelines and Shatner) whereas what they eventually did in Beyond sounded/looked so ‘star trek’ it turned off the average Joe moviegoers! plus there was that Fast and Furious action teaser trailer turning off the fans, a double whammy!

That is a flaming photon torpedo of truth. Beyond is generally well liked and appreciated by Trek fans, but I was surprised to find most non-fans I’ve heard from found it, quote, “boring and dull”. I could quite believe that take, but it’s definitely better received by fans than the public. Into Darkness was the reverse.

The biggest mistake was the handling of the villain, hiding Mr Elba under make up but also another of J J style ‘mystery box’ about his identity and motive.

Yup, exactly. Totally agree. What a waste of Mr. Elba’s talent, imo.

Discovery also divided the fan base, destroyed cannon, has the lowest episode scores of any Trek show, and was Cancelled!

Not the same, Disc came to a natural end but didn’t inhibit more ST TV from being made.

I think it’s probably too late to make this movie starting where they left off on the Enterprise. They really would need to write a story where they have to reconnect for one final mission, which might be worth doing. That being said, an aging crew is nothing new for Star Trek.

Bust him back to cadet.

Hey MIchael, I was just googling “Harlan Ellison Nicholas Meyer” and it actually took me to a trekmovie thread from 2017 which we participated in. You mention that you are going to have to buy RETURN TO TOMORROW book at some point. Did you?

I bought the digital edition. Roddenberry says in it that TMP cost 45 million due to them adding on all the costs of the previous scripts, sets etc. For 1979 that was super expensive.

Dee Kelley’s poem was interesting I never knew he was a writer. Also interesting was hearing from George Takei about the making of the movie. Some stuff I already knew like the studio not wanting Shatner back if it was going to be a series, and the difficulty in getting Leonard to sign on when it became a movie.

The stuff about who got to be credited in the movie I never once heard about the disputes with the effects people. A lot of the guy who wrote it hating the movie and being negative Harold I think. You could tell he thought it was a turkey. Also, the director had such a bad experience, and the movie was rushed I never knew that.

Or was it Jon Povill my memory these days is crap. I know whoever the person was hated the finished movie.

i imagine the writers/abrams etc are trying to figure out to do a standalone thing with the cast like Beyond (i.e. their TMP and TUC in one movie) or buy into the multiverse stuff going around and have them interact with their primeverse counterparts (via CG/AI ) or the TNG cast etc for a big anniversary movie ..

maybe they’ll go with the 1st option (Kelvin standalone/finale) and do a primeverse only ST Legacy movie for Paramount+ (various actors from TNG/DS9/VOY maybe ENT and SNW) – both aimimg for 2026

I mean you have a 40 something year old playing a 25 year old Kirk on Strange New Worlds and he looks older than Pine!

The casting decision there continues to baffle me. And yeah I agree, Pine does look younger than Wesley.

Now, Wesley has grown on me a bit, but it does still baffle me as well. He reminds me more of Crawley’s Kirk (fan film) than Shatner’s Kirk, and that’s not a good thing.

Yikes, you just hit the nail on the head there.

Ummm…..

Admiral deciding he’s sick of being in a desk job…kinda like last time?

In ’09, the snark was to call this Trek/Muppet Babies in Space. The then producers wanted a cast that could last for several movies without getting too old. AND… that might have worked if the studio(S!) hadn’t delayed so many of these films. Frankly, we should have five or six, not three. Thank god, the suits all got their bonuses and golden parachutes (several deployed btw) and important stuff like that.

We’ve seen how the Prime Kirk ages from young captain to admiral to old captain. It would be interesting to see Kelvin Kirk take a different pathway. Maybe he has a family. Maybe he is stuck in a Klingon prison. Maybe he is riding through the desert with a picnic lunch.

If JJ was available and Skydance ends up buying Paramount, they should get him to direct part 4. Make it an event movie, no more nonsense about spinoffs or low budget this or that. Disney Star Wars is dead. Capitalize on that.

Should have gone all in after Into Darkness, instead they played it safe with Beyond a tired old formula. Should have been new worlds, new twists if we had to have characters from Prime, do something different with them in Kelvin now that they were done with Khan, but no they had to make insipid Beyond. Guardians of the Furious.

I think you’re right. Go all out and make a final, great film for the Kelvinverse characters.

As to where they go with it, I don’t know. The simplest thing is to just have them on the ship, maybe coming home from their mission and then they get a call about an emergency. One last adventure. Maybe someone has to die, for drama. Maybe somehow, someway, via the Nexus or Q or the Guardian of Forever, Pine meets Shatner’s Kirk. Yeah, that probably will not happen but that would certainly help the film if they could find some way to make it an important part of the film.

Anyway, I’m all in for another Kelvin film. I loved all three of them, even though I had quibbles with some of JJ’s choices in Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness and thought making Sulu gay in Beyond was a complete and embarrassing fail.

Sulu being gay in ‘beyond’ a minor issue compared to the film’s real faults

Good point about SW its cooked atm, no movies being made anytime soon , that Rey movie not even the hard core wants and the Dawn of the Force movie from Mangold (whose Indiana Jones movie tanked to tune of a 100m loss), and the other film based on the Zahn novels like an Episode 6.5 (probably with not quite there CGI deaged Han Luke Leia) , any of those probably as likely to happen anytime soon as the Beyond sequel after 2016, (a loong wait with lots of faux announcements). so really you got similar scenario as that late 00s/early 10s era with ST09/ID filling in for SW for space action.

And yeah they messed up on Beyond , letting Orci go when he had the obvious way to go for the 3rd film/anniversary – Shatner returning, battle for the timelines stuff.

The last SW film to feature rey made a billion so there is still an audience waiting for a new one. But I bet rey will not be the central character this time.

Reading between the lines here……”a lot older” suggests he knows another movie is still years, maybe even decades away.

I think Pine’s just resigned to whatever happens will happen. He’s not getting his hopes up.

I think the 4th film should be titled, Star Trek: Kirk.

I wish they can adapt William Shatner’s first Star Trek story, Ashes of Eden.

Kelvin cast sequel is the ONLY viable movie worth making at this stage. Anything else will bomb hard.

I remember watching “Beyond” in the theater. No way that was 8 years ago already… wow.

Time flies. I also watched Beyond in the theater, and out of the three Kelvin-verse films it felt the most Trekkian to me. I can remember the smell of the popcorn and the twizzlers from that day.

The age of the crew or the actors is not the biggest problem with previous or upcoming films.

If it another ‘mad man with a grudge and a galactic WMD….’

If it is that, then I’m out. I blame TNG movies for first getting stuck on that, but it seems to be the only thing Hollywood screenwriters think a Star Trek film could ever possibly be about.

We need another ‘voyage home’, classic ST problem solving and not ‘pew pew boom’ again

They should adapt the Prime Directive novel for the next film. I would go see it. I doubt any of these writers know the book exists.

Would be wasted on the Kelvin cast. Great book, but it’s absolutely Shatner’s Kirk here, not anybody else’s. A book that makes so much out of ‘let me help’ doesn’t have the right callback, since Pine doesn’t have an Edith Keeler … it would be like the bizarre consideration Eon had for LIVE & LET DIE, when they considered bringing Ursula Andress back, even though it was featuring a new (utterly lame) guy playing Bond, so, you know, the face is not familiar.

Thats the first I’ve heard of bringing back Ursula Andress for LALD,(not impossible as the son of Quarrel from Dr No was in it) i had heard that producers wanted Barbara Bach to come back for A View to A Kill in a cameo as the Russian agent but obviously didn’t happen

And Roger Moore was the best Bond btw (imo :)

Meh. Some of the original cast members of Star Trek found about a hundred ways to keep on showing up despite being decades older. It’s sci-fi! All ya gotta do to explain stuff away is wave your hands around in the air and say stuff like, “quantum singularity!” or “it’s The Borg! The Borg did a thing!”. Inexplicable aging and time-space continuum inconsistancies are basically all one 8-second mumbo-jumbo explanation away with that franchise. It’ah be fiiiiiiine. lol

In general, I prefer a story with more “seasoned” characters, so it’s not a bad place to pick up for me. Showing the characters more matured is one of the major draws of a sequel.

It’s simple Chris – it’s time to put on the Monster Maroons! He’ll look as old as Shat from TWOK, TSFS, TVH

Also dark rinse with perm

Star trek 4 need a title like New horizon coming summer 2026 and the New starship enterprise a on a mission to explore strange New worlds and New villian of This epic final chapter of the kelvin timeline im a Star trek fan long live trekkies live long and prosper

Star Trek Wayyyy Beyond

Pull the plug on the Kelvin timeline and crew.

At some point Vger should be showing up to destroy Earth in the alternate universe that diverged with the Kelvin incident. I don’t want to see The Motion Picture remade but there might be a story there to tell somewhere …..

Use elements from Ellison’s intro to his movie pitch (which also had a huge threat to earth, but from time travelling lizards), with a cloaked figure going round kidnapping members of the old crew from wherever they are now and you finally realize it is Kirk who is doing it. Then do a variation on TMP, maybe with less of a police-procedural feel, one where we get to see how tough it is to match speeds and fly alongside something at warp 7+ from 1500 away .

Willl never happen

Whatever the next movie is, Giacchino’s going to have to write a new score, this time called “Enterprising Old Men “.

It will be a hit, and there will be a sequel.

It worked in Star Trek II…

I’d like to see throwback to Star Trek IV, where the Kelvin crew visit the world(s) that sent the alien probe to locate humpback whales.

They can maybe use stock footage from Lynch’s DUNE, since, like TVH, it also featured giant Tootsie-roll lookin’ space vessels.

A while ago I posted the idea of ST4 having the whale probe attacking kelvin earth a’la TVH and the JJ crew go back to San Fran 1986 for some whales but have to avoid running into their primeverse counterparts (TOS cast via cgi deaging and footage from TVH like Trials&Tribulations, BTTF2, Avengers Endgame etc), along the way they encounter/team up with Eddie Murphy’s UFO believing college professor called ‘Gene’ and kirk meets/romances an 80s aerobics instructor (Gal Gadot , but now maybe Dua Lipa whod also do the 80s inspired official song a’la Rhianna/Beyond ) who helps them out, plus thered be Lt Saavik (some new hot young actress) along for the ride replacing Chekov

I just get the feeling something fun and trippy and nostalgic like that would probably hit big at the box office (and avoid the usual super angry madman villain with space WMD who wants revenge on the Federation trope thats been done for the past 5? movies)

"I Finally Found You": Star Trek's Beverly & Wesley Crusher Reunion Is a Tragic Twist for Wil Wheaton's Character

Why star trek replaced original captain actor with william shatner, star trek officially brands a surprising deep space nine hero as a war criminal.

Warning! Warning! Spoiler for Star Trek #22 ahead!

Time has always been malleable in the Star Trek universe, but a returning Wesley Crusher just confirmed that the temporal nature is " nothing like we thought ," making his reunion with his mother as impactful on Trek lore as it was an emotional pay-off for the decades that fans have invested in these characters.

Star Trek #22 – written by Collin Kelly & Jackson Lanzing, with art by Megan Levens – features Wesley's brief homecoming, as he spends a precious few moments with Beverly before disappearing once more.

What is likely to be most striking to fans is how Wesley appears: as an older man, physically older than Beverly, and having lived on a scale few other humans ever have. Yet as he notes, all the while, there were some aspects of an ordinary human existence that he seemingly regrets having missed out on.

Doctor Crusher has at long last been reunited with her son Wesley, but it is far from a joyous occasion, as she learns his heartbreaking life story.

Wesley Crusher Reveals The True Nature Of Time In The Star Trek Universe

Star trek #22 – written by collin kelly & jackson lanzing; art by megan levens; color by lee loughridge; lettering by clayton cowles.

What exactly Wesley means by his declaration about time and infinity is left for readers to puzzle over – and that is precisely the point.

From the start of IDW's current Star Trek ongoing series , authors Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly have endeavored to tell a story with a grand scope, to some degree eclipsing even the most ambitious entries in franchise history. Issue-by-issue, they have redefined the nature of space, time, and existence in the Trek universe – and then threatened them all in turn, creating incredible dramatic stakes for the series. Star Trek #22 proved to be no exception to this incredible project, as Wesley Crusher revealed that time is " infinite in both directions, " before leaving his mother with a dire warning.

What exactly Wesley means by his declaration about time and infinity is left for readers to puzzle over – and that is precisely the point. Kelly and Lanzing have been downright gleeful in putting the "sci-fi" back in Star Trek , throwing wild ideas at the wall one after another, without getting overly bogged down by the mechanics or the metaphysics of it all. To a large degree, this has been a core part of what has made their series so engaging for long-time Trek fans in particular.

That is to say, especially since the original run of Trek TV shows ended with Enterprise , the Star Trek franchise has become more and more of an interstellar action-adventure series. Kelly and Lanzing's Star Trek comic series returns to the unabashed science fiction roots of the franchise, while still delivering exciting action and high-stakes drama with aplomb. By packing exciting ideas like " time is infinite in both directions " into every issue, Trek's authors have made the universe wild, wonderful, and unpredictable once more.

According To Wesley, The Fate Of The Universe Is In Beverly Crusher's Hands

Star trek "pleroma" part 4 (of 7).

As this arc reaches its mid-way point, writers Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing have set up two opposing philosophies of existence; now, the remaining issues of the "Pleroma" storyline will be about discovering which one triumphs.

Wesley and Beverly Crusher's reunion in Star Trek #22 is short-lived, but it covers several memorable moments before it is over. It also forwards the plot of the "Pleroma" arc, which escalates significantly in this issue as Data's evil twin Lore sets into motion his plan to become a god, and perhaps destroy the universe in the process. According to Wesley, they have reached " the fulcrum " of the universe's fate, and that it is " in [Beverly's] hands now ." Wesley further explains that he can't take part in what is about to happen, before disappearing yet again from his mother's life.

" Stay strong ," Wesley tells Beverly right before he's gone, adding, " Fight what seems inevitable ." This directly reflects another scene in Star Trek #22, where a Bajoran Prophet in the guise of his mother tries to convince Benjamin Sisko that he has cannot stop the " end of the universe ." In this way, as this arc reaches its mid-way point, writers Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing have set up two opposing philosophies of existence; now, the remaining issues of the "Pleroma" storyline will be about discovering which one triumphs.

Star Trek Teases The Wesley Crusher Spin-Off Fans Never Realized They Wanted

Wesley's space-time adventures.

Later in their conversation, Beverly prods Wesley, saying, " you must have at least one good story to tell your mother " – and in this way, Star Trek has teased an incredible potential spin-off series.

Another notable aspect of Wesley Crusher's appearance in Star Trek #22 is just that: his appearance, and how it belies exactly how much of space and time he has traversed off-screen, and off-page. Wesley is depicted as a man in his fifties or sixties, approximately, but he explains to Beverly that he is actually far older. While he hesitates to put a precise number on it, he estimates his age at being " a couple thousand years old ." In this way, Wesley has officially become one of Trek's longest-lived main characters.

Later in their conversation, Beverly prods Wesley, saying, " you must have at least one good story to tell your mother " – and in this way, Star Trek has teased an incredible potential spin-off series. Wesley has experienced parts of the Trek galaxy never touched by other humans, and his experiences extend over a total of millennia, even if that is a nonlinear calculation. Fans have always wanted to know more about Wesley's experience as a Traveler , and it seems as though the current era of Star Trek comics would be the perfect opportunity to give them that story.

The Crushers' Brief Reunion Is A Heartbreaking Payoff To A Decades-Long Plotline

An emotional trek epic.

It is a heartbreaking sequence of panels when Beverly asks Wesley to assure his " poor all-too-human mom " that he missed her, even during his thousands of years of cosmic exploration; Wesley in turn replies, " Oh. Oh, Mom. Every. Single. Moment. "

Of course, the most impactful part of the Crusher reunion scene from Star Trek #22 was the way that it provided a satisfying emotional moment for the mother-son duo. Especially early in The Next Generation's run , Wesley and Beverly's dynamic was an essential part of getting fans to invest in the new version of the franchise. Wesley's unexpected evolution into a cosmic character came late in TNG's run, and as a result, created a dynamic that has never been fully explored until this scene.

To one degree or another, most parents grapple with their children leaving home to pursue their own goals – but only Beverly Crusher knows the sadness of having her son ascend to an entirely different kind of existence. So, it is a heartbreaking sequence of panels when Beverly asks Wesley to assure his " poor all-too-human mom " that he missed her, even during his thousands of years of cosmic exploration; Wesley in turn replies, " Oh. Oh, Mom. Every. Single. Moment. " However fans felt about Wesley's exit from The Next Generation , this is a crushing pay-off years in the making.

While future Trek stories are sure to feature further encounters between Beverly and Wesley – even this was arguably not the first since TNG ended – the fleeting nature of their time together in Star Trek #22 is particularly effective on a narrative level. It makes the scene that much more narratively potent, in particular Wesley's admission that he missed his mom for thousands of years. In this way, this moment is a sterling example of the heights IDW's Star Trek has proven dead-set on reaching for with its current run of comics.

Star Trek #22 is available now from IDW Publishing.

Star Trek (2022)

It’s stardate 2378, and Benjamin Sisko has finally returned from the Bajoran Wormhole omnipotent—but his godhood is failing with every minute. Sent by the Prophets on a mission to the deepest parts of space aboard the U.S.S. Theseus, he witnesses the unthinkable: someone is killing the gods. And only Sisko and his motley crew of Starfleet members from every era of Trek can stop them.
