Star Trek: Year Four

by David Tischman

IDW Publishing, $19.99, 152 pages

While this is a graphic novel as opposed to a manga it is very well written, the art work is beautiful and the characters, both as written and drawn, are pretty much spot on.

Following the adventures of the original crew in the fourth year of their five year mission this volume is divided into 7 chapters, each a story that reads much like a script from the TV show. I particularly enjoyed the story where the crew finds themselves trapped in a world where TV shows are the ultimate reality,

Highly recommended. - Stephanie L Bannon
