This series captures that magic beautifully, taking characters and elements from different periods of the franchise and weaving them into a cohesive alternate-timeline story.
Even with so many different pieces coming together, the characters end up in places that feel appropriate, making the conclusion feel earned rather than simply relying on nostalgia. It’s an interesting direction for the franchise, and one that makes good use of the expansive universe Star Trek has built over the years.
The artwork remains visually striking throughout, helping bring the story’s climactic moments to life and giving the finale the impact it deserves.
