The conclusion we’ve all been waiting for! One last epic, soaring moment with the crew of the Voyager awaits… Captain Janeway and her crew are prisoners of Species 8472 on their organic, ever-changing ship, and the Voyager is similarly snared in its clutches. But not all is lost. Imprisoned with them are the rebel Species 8472 who once posed as Starfleet members Boothby and Archer—and they hold the secret to their escape. All that stands between them and their homecoming now is Species 8472’s revenge-bent captain…and the issue of how to open up a singularity into Earth’s space.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5 Star Trek: Voyager — Homecoming #5 Created by Susan Bridges, Tilly Bridges, and artist Angle Hernandez
A strong, heartfelt finale to a series that absolutely should have been Voyager’s true last episode.
Issue #5 brings the Homecoming arc to its long‑awaited conclusion, delivering one more high‑stakes, emotionally charged adventure with Janeway and her crew. The setup is classic Voyager: trapped aboard an organic, shifting vessel controlled by Species 8472, the ship itself ensnared, and escape feeling nearly impossible. But the twist—being imprisoned alongside the rebel 8472 who once impersonated Boothby and Archer—adds a clever layer of continuity and payoff for longtime fans.
The creators do an excellent job tying together the threads from earlier issues. The tension is real, the stakes are massive, and the emotional beats land with the weight of a true series finale. Watching the crew fight not just for survival but for a path back to Earth gives the issue a satisfying sense of closure.
That said, the ending slows down just a bit, easing off the momentum built through the arc. It’s not enough to dull the impact, but it does keep the finale from hitting the same heights as the middle chapters. Still, the final moments feel earned, thoughtful, and true to the spirit of Voyager.
A fitting, resonant conclusion to an amazing series—one that captures everything fans loved about the show and gives the crew the sendoff they deserved.
