Tony Isabella wrote The Trouble with Bearclaw, issue 29 in DC Comics ongoing Star Trek series. Tom Sutton continues to deliver fantastic pencils, while Ricardo Villagran does the inks. The series to date has heartily embraced canon, and continues to tie itself to established continuity. And that makes for fun reading. That being said, Bearclaw……

Star Trek: Lower Decks (2023) – Twovix, I Have No Bones Yet I Must Flee, and In The Cradle of Vexilon
Season four of Lower Decks got underway on 7 September, 2023 with Twovix. Written by showrunner and creator Mike McMahan, this one, obviously, is going to make a comment on the controversial Tuvix episode of Voyager. And for deep cuts, there’s a visual reference to Threshold, Freeman (Dawn Lewis) investigates Janeway’s decision from the Tuvix…
Star Trek: The Next Generation – Doomsday World (1990) – Carmen Carter, Peter David, Michael Jan Friedman, and Robert Greenberger
It’s been awhile since I dug into a TNG novel, as I continue to work my way through the Pocket Book series of books. Still, since I recognized a couple of the authors’ names, I figured I was in fairly good hands. Set during season three, Doomsday World just seems fairly rote and doesn’t do…

Diane Duane returns to write another issue of DC Comics’ ongoing Star Trek series. On comic spinners until July of 1986, the issue featured art by Gray Morrow. We’ve had supporting character stories before, but this is the first one that puts McCoy front and center. Stardate 8899.7 McCoy’s personal log reminds us of recent…
Star Trek: Lower Decks (2022) – Crisis Point 2: Paradoxus, Trusted Sources, and The Stars at Night
Crisis Point 2: Paradoxus was written by Ben Rodgers and first aired on 13 October, 2022. The episode gives us another holodeck movie, and you just know that’s going to be a lot of fun. It also means there are going to be lots of easter eggs and deep cut trivia. There’s a nod to…

Star Trek: Lower Decks (2022) – Reflections, Hear All, Trust Nothing, and A Mathematically Perfect Redemption
Reflections debuted on 22 September, 2022. It was written by series creator and showrunner Mike McMahan. Mariner (Tawney Newsome) and Boimler (Jack Quaid) are working a recruitment booth at a job fair, and you know that is just going to be the launching point for wackiness. The booth next to them, has an Archeologist Guild…
Star Trek: New Earth – Wagon Train to the Stars (2000) – Diane Carey
I’ve been circling starting this novel for a couple of decades now. I love how the Enterprise looks on the cover; I love the idea that the story takes place between The Motion Picture and The Wrath of Khan. I’m not going to lie, I was hoping they would be in the TMP uniforms for…
Star Trek: #26 – The Trouble with Transporters (1986)
