REVIEW: Star Trek Year Five #8 – "Well-Earned Emotional Payoffs"
(IDW Publishing, creative team: Jackson Lanzing, Collin Kelly, Stephen Thompson, Charlie Kirchoff, Neil Uyetake)
There is a whole lot happening in this issue, with thrilling spaceborne action, well-earned emotional payoffs for things that have bee developed through previous issues. As this storyline draws nearer to the circumstances of the 1979 motion picture, you can see the development of the crew into the roles they would come to inhabit, developing organically. The struggles of Spock to balance his genetic halves equally mirrors the roller coaster in Wrath of Khan and the struggles of Discovery. Now, admittedly, it's not always rainbows and butterflies as some editing errors ("and how do you know you're a man?") slipped through in a delicate scene (with some meta implications) and the last page will fly over the head of people not wholly indoctrinated to TOS lore, but overall this trip down "never experienced memory lane" remains enjoyable and worth the price of admission. RATING: BUY.
