Star Trek: Discovery Aftermath TPB (IDW)




Discovery is the only one of the two new Star Trek TV franchises I have seen after purchasing both seasons on DVD. An interesting though confusing addition to the canon given the advanced technology used by the Discovery crew. It's worth watching.

Until now I have avoided buying Discovery related comics but decided to pick up this volume from IDW which contains two stories, the main one Aftermath taking place just after the events of season two and the attempts by the Federation and Chancellor L'Rell to if not bring peace with the Klingons at least some kind of co-existence. 

 

There is of course the usual xenophobic opposition withing the Klingon Empire so the inevitable sabotage breaks out. A young Spock plays an essential role in this adventure which was originally a three part mini series.



The volume is rounded off with a story from Discovery's past highlighting Captain Saru and some Orion pirates. Pretty standard Star Trek fare to be honest.

Rating: 3 Stars
