Now, check out what else is on tap:

Star Trek #56 -- Legacy of Spock, Part Two, written by Mike Johnson, with art and a cover by Tony Shasteen. In the part two of this special story celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Star Trek franchise, Spock Prime -- following the events of Star Trek (2009) -- reflects on the alternate timeline he left behind... but he faces a new threat in the present, as the Romulan Empire threatens to end the Vulcans' search for a new homeworld before it begins. Legacy of Spock, Part Two will run 32 pages and cost $3.99. Fans should be sure to track down an Art Appreciation Variant featuring a cover by John Watson.
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy #5 (of 5), written by Mike Johnson and Ryan Parrott, with Derek Charm on art and cover duty. In the epic finale of IDW's new hit mini-series, past and present collide as the new crew finds the most unlikely allies in the heart of uncharted space. Can they finally come together and change the future of Starfleet forever? Starfleet Academy #5 will run 32 pages and cost $3.99. Subscription variants will boast covers by Stephen Thompson and Malachi Ward.
Star Trek Gold Key Archives, Vol. 5 collects stories by Arnold Drake, John David Warner, George Kashdan and Allan Moniz, complemented by Alberto Giolitti art and a Michael Stribling cover.
