Any and all complaints about The Space Between must be muted. This was IDW’s first mission into Trek comics, and the overall work they’ve been doing since then (2007) has been phenomenal.
While the ongoing series of the Peter David years is fun, the small-arcs coming out of IDW have, for the most part, been great.
This collection seems, at first, unconnected. Simple stories from throughout the NCC-1701-D’s travels. Riker with no beard. Sick Bay run by Dr. Pulaski. Then, at the end, we realize there has been a connecting thread – and one that goes pretty deep into Sector 31.
Hats off to deep cuts like Quatrotriticale grain and the NX-02’s shuttle pods.
