I have professed on here how much I love Star Trek. As the franchise usually leans very much into the cerebral type of science fiction that I have always loved. It was not only philosophical but spiritual on many levels. Of us better by challenging and questioning our belief systems.
That is why each series was revolutionary, as it showed evolution in thought is possible as long as you are open to it. One of them being Deep Space Nine, which had the first Black Captain and did not actually take place on a ship. it also was the first time a species changed in the franchise, from the first appearance of the Trill on ST:TNG, it was because of actress, Terry Farrell, that they looked to make the alien race, more palatable. In Star Trek: Discovery – Adventures in the 32nd Century #2 we catch up with Discovery’s own Trill, Adira, and Gray, and just how their epic story started.
We find Adira and Grey, as they reminisce about life before the “Burn”, before they get to the Discovery ,when Adira had a promising Starfleet career, and this new life only gives them doubt. As the two get into some mischief, they run into their superior. Admiral Senna Tal, who also is a Trill, who offers Gray, some life changing news. The find out that he is dying and he has asked Gray to be his host, and life was getting better until a san asteroid destroyed the ship and lefty Adira, physically alone. By the issue’s end, Adira finds their way back to Gray, reuniting their love of a lifetime.
Overall, Star Trek: Discovery – Adventures in the 32nd Century #2 is a beautiful love story in the Star Trek Universe. The story by Johnson and Beyer is enjoyable. The art by the creative team is stunning. Altogether, a fun back story that shows how love endures.

With every generation, there is the version of a major franchise that everyone loves. Take for instance, Blade Runner. As I was old enough to remember the original movie when it came out and enjoyed it for the action. As I was pretty young when it came out, many of the high concepts went over my head.
Fast forward to today, and having enjoyed the animated series, I finally got as chance to re-watch the original and sequel by Denis Villaneueve, and it all made sense. The same goes for the new iterations for Star Trek, Dune and Star Wars, as it takes fans to show why you should love each of these franchises. This is why Star Trek: Discovery is more of an acquired taste, one that excels more than it meanders. In the debut issue of the spotlight miniseries, we get Star Trek: Discovery – Adventures in the 32nd Century #1, where we meet Grudge The Cat.
We find Grudge, as they survey the stars, but quickly remembers that they are hungry as soon as Cleveland Booker, reminds them of such, whereby enjoying some quality time with her master. As we find out how long they have been together and the moment both their lives changed, when Michael Burnham entered their lives. This gave Grudge more challenges than they expected, even leading an usurper disguising themselves as Cleveland, which they trapped the imposter. By issue’s end, Grudge resumes their mantle, asleep in her bed.
Overall, Star Trek: Discovery – Adventures in the 32nd Century #1 is a lighthearted tryst in the Star Trek Universe. The story by Johnson and Beyer is entertaining. The art by the creative team is gorgeous. Altogether, a fun back story on one of the series most loved characters.

Travel to the far future of STAR TREK in this all-new miniseries spotlighting the cast of the hit television series! Up first is the secret history of the queen herself: GRUDGE THE CAT! Discover how she met Book and claimed her place as the greatest feline spacefarer of all!
In the most recent episode of Young Sheldon, it exposed one of the open secrets of Star Trek fandom. That there lies a schism between the different generations. Of course, this is nothing new. As this very issue lies within the Star Wars fandom, one which divides them, and is very apparent in the how the fans feel about The Book Of Boba Fett.
As the scene that expositions this difference, was when Sheldon got into a debate with another fan of whether or not ST:TNG is as good or better than ST:TOS. They had gone over all the reasons why one was better than the other. As a fan of all the series, I can honestly say that love the shows after the original cast, as they broadened that world and made us all fall in love with new characters and worlds. I especially ST:TNG, as it fulfilled the promise the original series gave the world.. As I am partial to one captain, and with his new series, I can see I am not the only one , as IDW decided to do a collection of past stories in in a beautiful one shot, Star Trek: The Next Generation—Best of Captain Picard.
In “The Q Conflict”, Q creates a conflict between the TOS, TNG, DS9 and Voyager crews. In “The Mirror Broken#1”, we find a very evil version of the crew in the Mirror Universe, one where war is where they thrive. In “ DC Originals:TNG#1-Return to Raimon Part 1”,Picard uncovers a conspiracy to murder a monarch, one that puts the away crew in danger. In the last story“Picard#1”, we find out about what transpired in Picard’s final year before the events of the first season of Picard.
Overall, Star Trek: The Next Generation—Best of Captain Picard is an excellent collection that shows the character’s transcendence. The stories by the different creators are fun and action packed. The art by the different creators are beautiful. Altogether, this set of stories shows why fans have long loved this character.
