Star Trek: The Last Starship #4
First Officer Wowie Carter was once called the child without fear. But with the Federation in freefall and Earth still reeling from a brutal Klingon assault, fear is all that remains—and Wowie is cracking under its weight. The U.S.S. Omega’s mission is clear: Gather the final delegates for the Babel Conference, the Federation’s last, fragile chance at unity. A future of peace still seems possible…on paper. But every time Wowie returns to Earth, the home they once loved slips further into despair. As alliances fracture and chaos spreads, Wowie faces a question no one dares ask: What’s left to save when hope is already gone?

Picking up soon after the incredibly consequential events of last issue's climax, we see the crew of Omega and the citizens of Earth grapple with the fallout of The Burn, as seen through the eyes of First Officer Wowie Carter. This one's a pretty personal issue and dives into the consequences of Omega's new mission, its transwarp drive and that device's relationship with time, and what it means for a former Federation planet to turn insular and remove itself from such an alliance.
In some ways, The Last Starship is a throwback to sailing adventures of old, where plans and communication had to be planned and chartered over the course of months, if not years, while also feeling increasingly relevant to today's politics, particularly American nationalism and distrust of protectionist organizations.
Writers Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing, and artist Adrián Bonilla, are creating fresh Trek lore that honestly feels groundbreaking, not to mention epic in its scope. As it should, given the widespread cataclysm of The Burn and a galaxy that is now flush with fear, uncertainty, and tremendous loss. Wowie himself is the sole surviving First Officer left in all of Starfleet, which in itself is pretty damn monumental given how monolithic that institution had grown prior to the dilithium disaster. The Last Starship is taking Trek into some truly uncharted territory. It's such an uncertain era, and for the crew of Omega life outside the starship is changing faster than ever. This series is absolutely one to watch, and I can't wait to see how things continue to develop, particularly as Trek turns 60 this year.

Star Trek: The Last Starship #4
Creators: Writers — Collin Kelly & Jackson Lanzing; Artist — Adrián Bonilla; Colorist — Heather Moore
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
The Last Starship continues its strong run with a gripping fourth issue that pushes the crew deeper into crisis while tightening the emotional screws. Kelly and Lanzing’s writing keeps the tension sharp, blending moral uncertainty, personal conflict, and classic Trek‑style urgency. The character work remains a standout, especially as loyalties strain and the stakes escalate.
Bonilla’s art brings the drama to life with expressive faces, dynamic layouts, and starship sequences that feel cinematic. Moore’s colors amplify the mood, shifting between cold dread and high‑energy action in a way that enhances every beat of the story.
If the issue holds anything back, it’s only because it’s clearly setting the stage for a major payoff in the finale. Even so, this chapter stands tall on its own — visually striking, emotionally grounded, and full of that signature Trek blend of hope and danger.
A strong, engaging penultimate issue that promises big things ahead.
Live long and prosper 🖖 🚀🪐📚

2026 - 365 Days of Whatever Is On My Comic Book TBR
Day 70
Great issue. What made it for me was explaining the usually skipped over issue of time while traveling in space. The splash pages explaining the passage of time and the story of how it affected Wowie. Great storytelling.

This one had a solid story and didn’t make borgati do anything weird. However. Not enough borgati. I am entirely in this comic for Agnes and my ratings/reviews are gonna behave accordingly 😆

A tragic melancholic issue about the aftermath of the heroes' failure in issue 3. Earth has become as xenophobic and withdrawn as it was before the Federation, if not worse. Those who still believe in it are vanishingly rare and even a man's parents don't believe in his son's choices. The Sanctuary Districts are back and now for aliens. Gut punch after gut punch. I do think the time dilation thing is ridiculous, though.

Sorry Wowie
Wowie is trying to find hope in humanity after the burn. Yes folks it goes as you expect. Wowie loses his father and possibly his mentor.

woke trash
Using “they” to refer to a singular person makes no logical or literary sense. We have to stop pandering to mental delusion.
