This collection of comics is from a particularly odd time in Trek canon. It takes place between The Wrath of Khan and The Search For Spock.

In official canon, there isn’t much of a gap, but these tales feature a lot of adventuring…with Lt. Saavik kinda-sorta filling in for Mr. Spock.

Hats off, I suppose, for at least making a lot of deep cut references to TOS episodes. Lots of talk about the Organian treaty, Captain Koloth makes an appearance and so do The Excalibans from “The Savage Curtain.” So that’s kinda awesome. The misunderstanding of what a wormhole is and “entering wormhole-phased space” is not as awesome.
