Hailing all Star Trek fans!

When you watched the original series two-part episode "The Menagerie," or the unaired pilot, "The Cage," did you wonder what Captain Christopher Pike and his crew did next? The new Paramount+ series Star Trek Strange New Worlds covers Pike's continuing adventures. Some of the characters have changed. The series has been updated--spectacularly so--for today's audiences. Nonetheless get to follow Pike, Number One, Spock, and other fan favorite characters like Dr. Mbenga, Nurse Chapel, and a young ensign Uhura on their ongoing interstellar voyages.

If you've watched the Paramount+ series, this comic picks up right where the first series left off. If you haven't yet watched Star Trek Strange New Worlds, but are familiar with "The Menagerie" or "The Cage," I calculate a probability of 98.423% that the comic's strong story and art will still draw you in. I picked up the first issue last month, and felt so strongly about it that I wanted to share it with you. 

I'm a little late, but here it is: the first few pages of Captain Pike's ongoing voyages. Enjoy!

Did this preview ignite your antimatter engines? If so, head down to your local comic shop and pick up your copy of Strange New Worlds: The Illyrian Enigma #1 to see what happens next. And if you enjoy the first issue, let the good folks there know so they can pull a copy of the following issues for you. Hey, it's only logical.

Star Trek Lives!
