Heather Hudson, our resident Murder Mommy, strikes again! We get a new foe for the team and we are nearing the point where we meet a new member of the team. Before that? The Derangers! #rip
Under the sea...under the sea. Down where it's wetter may not always be better as the Voyager sinks to the bottom of an ocean world! Giving you Titanic vibes It should, because this is 1998 and our c…
We have two giant sized issues- and one regular- for you in this episode! We bid a bittersweet farewell to THREE original Alpha's, then go down to Antarctica for a Heather Hudson murder spree.
We reach the end of Voyager's ongoing series and pick up where we left off, as the ship and crew fight to escape their entanglement on a huge colony ship. After that, we see Seven of Nine join the ca…
As Northstar koff koffs his was around these issues, we see what goes on when Heather goes home (she, uh, is really into bonfires), when you rely too much on a discredited doctor and his shifty medic…
We are back in the Delta Quadrant to visit with our favorite late-90s shipbound Trek crew! We get a named supporting character who has a great Trek legacy; he promptly then leaves the ship. And we en…
We visit the New Life Clinic on the way to Expo '86 in this episode, and it's not the fun adventure you would think it could be! But at least the team has a good doctor on call(?).
Phillip and Daryl go through the newly-released Tower of Shadows collection, published by Fantagraphics on collaboration with Marvel. We highlight some of our favorite moments from the eight issue co…
We're back and reviewing a three issue arc centered on Captain Janeway doing her best when stranded with some crusty Delta quadrant villains! Join us as we chat about the drama involved. Plus, Tom an…

The Voyager crew encounters the Kazon for the first time within the comic! Also: cheesecake.
Ready for the end of the Atlantis arc? Well, before we get to that- we get an eight page story about Puck! Then we move on to Alpha Flight 39-40 and Avengers 272. And spoiler: it ends in a wedding!
We begin our exploration of the Delta Quadrant with Star Trek: Voyager issues 1-3! Journey with us as we dive into some Talaxian-related drama!
We get a brand new villain in the book- Pestilence! And he's gross! These four issues are the first half of a big arc that focuses on Snowbird, Shaman, Talisman, and Marrina (primarily).
We bid farewell to Starfleet Academy with its final three issues and we have some big feelings about it!
The X-Men are here! Well, for a couple pages. But then we get Wolverine and Lady Deathstrike's first appearance! We chat about those Alpha Flight episodes, plus the issue of Marvel Fanfare that focus…
We learn all about T'Priell and the whole Romulan/Vulcan thing. The bad news: she's dead. The good news: she's kind of not!
We are solidly in the Mantlo era as the team gets a new headquarters, an old opponent, and a crumbly ally! Also: body horror!
The cadets are on trial and you'll never guess who their defense lawyer is! Plus, parents day at the academy with some very iffy parents!!!
We say "bye bye" to Byrne and "hello" to the Hulk (and new writer Bill Mantlo!) as we cover Alpha Flight issues 26 through 29 and Incredible Hulk 313! These issues work together as a big arc that cle…
