Captain Kirk Is Back from the Dead in New Star Trek Comic ‘The Last Starship’ (Exclusive)

Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing, who earned an Eisner nomination for writing a previous Trek comic, are behind the new title from IDW.

I have to admit, this doesn't really grab me. But I will give it a chance.

Funny thing is, without the Kirk element, I'd probably be more interested in this. That's not due to any dislike of the character or anything, but... let the character rest. We don't need to have the tie ins resurrect him in every period Star Trek covers.

I'm getting a little tired of stories resurrecting dead characters just in general. (And no, I was not a fan of that Picard S3 easter egg, either.)

I got Star Trek: Omega, the special that concludes the two ongoing series and leads into Nemesis, today.

It is perfectly cromulent. It's a series of character vignettes a page or two in length, fanwanky splooge and cameos on every page, and things that set up Nemesis, 2009, and Picard. There isn't a story here. It's more a series of references, footnotes, and endings. If you haven't been reading the two series, this isn't something you can just jump in and read because there's a lot that just will not make sense.

With the announcement of the "Kirk and the Burn" series today, I was expecting a page or two prequel to that at the end of Omega when I cracked it open, but alas, no.

Sounds exactly like what I expected and was hoping for!

A burn comic sure doesn’t grab me, as someone who quit watching Discovery at the time jump. But maybe Kirk and the writers will get me interested. I guess I’ll give it a shot and see.
