'Star Trek: The Last Starship' Is Boldly Going Into Horror

A new artist has joined IDW’s Star Trek: The Last Starship comic for its seventh issue, and with that comes a new arc that boasts a noticeable tone shift into horror. If you haven’t been keeping up with previous issues, fear not: you can dive right in and get Star Trek frights—featuring Captain James T. Kirk during the time of the Burn—without missing a beat. Here’s the description for issue #7: “The crew of the USS Omega are desperately trying to hold the Federation’s vision of a united galaxy together, but they’re failing. The spirit of cooperation is dead, but Starfleet’s mission might not be, thanks to a research station on the aptly named Deep Space Hope. There, one last shining ray of possibility remains in an ever-darkening universe. A way to put everything back in its rightful place… if only Sato and his crew are bold enough to seize it.” Issue #7 comes from writers Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing, artist Hernan Gonzalez, colorist Lee Loughridge, and letterer Clayton Cowles and hits shelves today, May 20. io9 has an interview about the new issue with Kelly and Lanzing, and we also have an exclusive peek at the artwork for issue #8 to boot. io9: Issue #7 kicks off the third
