The first story is set during the very beginning of DS9. Again, several interesting story concepts are introduced, but due to the shortness of the story, leaves it feeling unfinished. I really did enjoy the starbird-esqe aliens, but you only see a few glimpses of them. Also, that one panel with Kira's face was terrifying. What was that?!
4 Stars
This is set during TOS, but only barely. In fact, you wouldn't know which time period it was set in at all if not for the first page. I honestly really like this story, and wish it was a full-length graphic novel. It does feel like a completed story, but it feels like you only get the very end of it. A story that focuses more on the people working in the research stations in the Star Trek universe is always something I've been interested in. The art style was okay, but I slowly started liking it more the longer I read.

The theme of this issue seems to be "mysterious alien protocols."
"Frontier Medicine" takes us back to early DS9 days. Loved the dialogue and illustrations; the ending felt a bit rushed, told in a supplemental log.
The same issue afflicts "Come Away, Child", though the ideas and characters are developed in more detail and are intriguing.

Another couple of cool Star Trek tales. Episodic and thematically relevant like the show always was!
