Marvel Comics fans know Luke Cage is powerful (hence the name Power Man). Cage has beaten The Wrecker, who loves to tell people that he has defeated Thor, and has taken on the Avengers by himself. However, he isn’t among the ten strongest characters in Marvel. Considering all of the gods, cosmic beings, and gamma-irradiated characters, it would be shocking if he made it into the Top 20. Like all things in comics, that can change and it did thanks to writers Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing.

The following events take place in Timeless No. 1 in 2024 by Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing with art by Juann Cabal with colors by Edgar Delgado.

In short, after the superheroes of the universe were conquered, Luke Cage was left with the powers of the Hulk, Sentry/Void, and Iron Fist. Yes, that’s overkill, but it was needed. Celestial Khonshu and his avatar...

Idw Publishing’s break-out Star Trek line of comics is expanding, with the publisher set to launch multiple new series, including a Star Trek: Voyager comic, a Strange New Worlds comic, and perhaps the most exciting, Star Trek: Red Shirts, which will follow the franchise’s most expendable characters on some of the galaxy’s most dangerous missions.

As revealed by StarTrek.com, the first details about the next generation of Trek comics were revealed; Star Trek: Red Shirts – written by Christopher Cantwell, who is currently authoring Idw’s Defiant series, with art by Megan Levens – will inaugurate a new era, followed by Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – The Seeds Of Destruction and Star Trek: Voyager – Homecoming.

While the announcement of the end of the current run of Trek comics will be bittersweet for readers, it is clear there is still a great deal to look forward to in theTrek comic book universe.

A new line-up of Thunderbolts* is getting ready to team up ahead of their highly anticipated MCU debut, revamping the roster in a big way with shocking additions. The Winter Soldier and Black Widow are forming a new team of anti-heroes and former villains to take on a dangerous threat, and this cast is sure to pack a serious punch as the series kicks off later this year.

Marvel Comics has just announced New Thunderbolts*, an exciting new comic that re-invents the chaotic crew with an unexpected cast of characters. Written by Sam Humphries with art by Ton Lima, this series will see the Thunderbolts joining forces to face off against seemingly unbeatable copies of the Illuminati.

The updated roster features the Winter Soldier, Black Widow, Wolverine, Carnage, Clea, Namor, and the Hulk. While this line-up is definitely an unlikely one, these powerhouses will need to work together if they...

For 50 years, Len Wein and Dave Cockrum's Giant-Size X-Men #1 has remained one of the most important moments in Marvel Comics history, reshaping the X-Men forever.

Starting in May, Marvel celebrates its milestone anniversary with an all-new event revisiting key X-Men storylines in a series of Giant-Size X-Men one-shots, including Giant-Size Age of Apocalypse which features a "Revelations" backup story by Eisner Award-winning writer Jeph Loeb, an architect behind the original Age of Apocalypse, and artist Simone Di Meo.

Loeb is best known for writing stories like Spider-Man: Blue and Daredevil: Yellow, not to mention Batman: Hush for DC Comics. He was also in charge of Marvel Television before Marvel Studios took over starting with 2021's WandaVision.

Across the five anniversary one-shots, the "Revelations" backup stories will reveal hidden lore behind each story and set up exciting present-day developments. In Giant-Size Age of Apocalypse #1, Loeb returns to the iconic dystopian future he helped create.

For 50 years, Len Wein and Dave Cockrum's Giant-Size X-Men #1 has stood the test of time as one of the most important moments in Marvel Comics history, reshaping the X-Men forever. This summer, Marvel celebrates its milestone anniversary with an all-new, five-part event spanning the greatest eras of mutantkind.

From the emergence of Krakoa in Giant-Size X-Men #1 to Age of Apocalypse, House of M and The Dark Phoenix Saga, history has shaped - and shattered - the X-Men time and again. But what if those moments held deeper secrets? What if the past wasn’t set in stone?

Acclaimed X-Scribes Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing join forces with legendary X-Men artist Adam Kubert, superstar artist Rod Reis and more on this epic journey across the X-Men’s most pivotal stories.

One World Under Doom begins in just a few weeks, ushering in a new era of Marvel Comics where Doctor Doom reigns supreme. Doom's rule will be felt across the entire Marvel Universe, impacting various ongoing titles and igniting the launch of several special tie-in limited series.

Today, we have a first look at One World Under Doom's tie-in issues ahead of their respective releases in April.

Just in time for a milestone issue of Jed MacKay and Valerio Schiti’s acclaimed Avengers run, Earth's Mightiest Heroes find themselves in an explosive battle against Doom in Avengers #25. While the Avengers strike, a terrifying group of villains will take advantage and stage an assault on their Impossible City headquarters - the new Masters of Evil!

Then, following their humbling defeat at Doom's hands, a desperate plan to reverse their circumstances threatens to further diminish Marvel's First Family to the "Fantastic Two...

Marvel has explained why it is important that Kamala Khan preserves her secret identity while operating as the hero Ms. Marvel – and its a reason that most fans might have missed initially. As Kamala explained in the latest issue of her mutant superteam series, Nyx, she identifies as Ms. Marvel first, and her identity as a private citizen second.

In Nyx #7 – written by Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing, with art by Enid Balan – X-Man Synch arrives at Nyx and Ms. Marvel gives him the grand tour. Ms. Marvel explains how Nyx works, that they all chip in, and that David Alleyne can now use it to teach his mutant history curriculum that he can no longer teach in school since he was fired.

Synch points out that Ms. Marvel is the only one still wearing a mask and hiding who she is, but she stands up for herself, claiming Ms.

Kamala Khan has a new nemesis in Marvel Comics lore, and given the themes of Ms. Marvel season one, his new villain would fit perfectly as a villain for season two. Kamala's cousin Bilal has joined the ani-mutant radical group known as the Truthseekers; now calling himself Truthseeker, he has made it his goal to expose Ms. Marvel's identity – without knowing who is under the mask.

In Nyx #7 – written by Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing, with art by Enid Balan – Ms. Marvel spots her cousin Bilal snooping around Nyx, and as security, she goes to investigate. Kamala finds her cousin on a Green Goblin-looking glider with explosives, "dollar store spider-slayers," and scanners.

Truthseeker reveals that he is stalking Kamala because he believes in the truth, and Kamala hiding behind a mask puts her friends and family and actually putting them in more danger. The idea that Kamala's family feels this...

Star Trek is finally delving into one of Picard’s top twists, and honestly? I’m sold already. Star Trek: Picard followed Jean-Luc’s exploits in the twilight of his life. The show, while generally enjoyed by fans, also had some baffling plot points, such as Jean-Luc and Doctor Crusher conceiving a son that she then hid from him. Fans felt this was out of character, but Star Trek #27 sheds light on why.

Star Trek #27 is written by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly and drawn by Mike Feehan and Tess Fowler. Doctor Crusher and Captain Sisko are cleaning up after a dinner party the Captain threw to boost crew morale aboard the Theseus, which is patrolling what is left of the universe in the aftermath of Lore’s attack. Crusher makes a shocking confession to Sisko: that in the wake of her husband...

I want to be incredibly honest when I say I love the X-Men. I too believed in Charles Xavier’s dream that a world where humanity and mutantkind could peacefully coexist is possible. However, during the Krakoa Saga, Xavier believed he had to modify his desires to fit within a callously hateful world. While Xavier’s dream seemingly died with Krakoa, one mutant team has already proven that it can actually work.

While Marvel’s other X-Men teams have been focused on new cataclysmic threats, petty internal struggles, and building the foundations for a new School for Gifted Youngsters, Ms. Marvel and her friends have begun to build something bigger than themselves. In Nyx #7 - by Jackson Lanzing, Collin Kelly, & Enid Balám - Marvel officially debuted the new meaning behind the series’ namesake.

Following the fall of Krakoa, the X-Men have been scattered, and their remnants have been trying to hold the pieces together. However, as mutants like Ms. Marvel, Prodigy, and her friends are trying to rebuild a local community for their kind, an old ally believes the team is building a problematic reflection of the past.

Ms. Marvel and her allies have been trying to build a home for displaced, homeless, and lonely mutants. Leading the way, Prodigy has been using his mutant talents to teach the next generation how to rally their skills to create a better future.

However, in Nyx #7 - by Jackson Lanzing, Collin Kelly, & Enid Balam - the X-Man Synch has returned to dismantle what he believes is a dangerous temple of false hope and dreams. Broken after losing the original Laura Kinney, Krakoa, and Arakko, Synch plans to kill Prodigy and dismantle the community for good.

Star Trek is one of the most beloved Sci-Fi franchises in the history of the genre, but that doesn’t mean every little thing about it is perfect. In fact, there are a few details that are downright nonsensical, including and especially one that has amounted to little more than a running gag throughout Star Trek’s many iterations. But, in the most recent Star Trek installment, this particular detail gets a clever fix that actually makes sense.

In Star Trek #26 by Collin Kelly, Jackson Lanzing, and Angel Hernandez, the psychopathic android duplicate of Data named Lore has detonated a bomb in the center of all reality, one that will extinguish all life in every universe. Captain Sisko and his crew of the USS Theseus narrowly escape the destruction of their universe, sliding through time into an alternate past, where they meet variants of Captain Kirk and his crew of the USS Enterprise.

Star Trek shares Doctor Crusher’s heartbreaking Starfleet secret that no one saw coming. Doctor Crusher is one of Starfleet’s best Chief Medical Officers, and even headed up Starfleet Medical. However, these achievements come with a tragic backstory: she lost her husband in an accident, leaving her a single mom. While Crusher has overcome this loss, it still haunts her, and she makes a stunning confession in Star Trek #27.

Star Trek #27 is written by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly and drawn by Mike Feehan and Tess Fowler. As the Theseus’ crew struggles to hold it together in the wake of Lore’s destruction of the multiverse, Doctor Crusher and Captain Sisko have a discussion about their pasts. Crusher equates her late husband, Jack, with Sisko’s deceased wife, Jennifer. Crusher then confesses that after Jack’s death, she had trouble trusting Starfleet, saying “they took everything from me.

If Star Trek fans thought that the last few years of Idw's Trek comics added a whole new dimension to the franchise's familiar lore, they had better prepare themselves for the coming year, as the series hints at a gamechanging alteration to the mythology surrounding Benjamin Sisko. The new revelation may prove to be controversial, but it is not out of line with familiar Trek storytelling devices.

Star Trek #28 – written by Collin Kelly & Jackson Lanzing, with art by Tessa Fowler – finds Captain Sisko vaulted backward in time, to "a Bronze-age Bajor," leaving the indigenous population to question whether he is "a terrifying threat or the prophet they've been waiting for."

From this synopsis, readers have immediately started to speculate that Sisko is about to instigate a classic causal loop, creating the mythos that would later lead him to be deemed the Emissary of the Prophets, as originally depicted in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

As Marvel Comics nears the highly anticipated One World Under Doom event, a new Thunderbolts* series has been announced, featuring the fiery presence of Ghost Rider‘44. Doom’s iron fist is closing on the world and a special team of morally ambiguous heroes will be needed to do what the Avengers are incapable of. Fortunately, the team has the flames of Hell on their side and vengeance to be dealt.

Thunderbolts: Doomstrike features many of the upcoming Thunderbolts* cast, including Sharon Carter, Winter Soldier, and U.S. Agent alongside the startling addition of a Spirit of Vengeance.

Star Trek’s best new character in ages cannot be seen on TV, but the shows need to take note Asap. Two years ago, Idw Publishing rejuvenated its Star Trek comics’ line with a bold new approach: mix characters from across the franchise and send them up against a galactic threat. The books have also introduced exciting new characters, and one, Descheeni, may be the franchise’s best new addition.

Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly are no stranger to Star Trek comics, having written the acclaimed Year Five, also from Idw.

In Star Trek #27, written by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly and drawn by Mike Feehan and Tess Fowler, fans get a good look into her character. Captain Sisko is throwing a dinner party to lighten the ship’s mood. Descheeni comes to the party in her civilian clothes, and brings a guitar. This impresses Ensign Lily Sato,...

Star Trek just made a cheeky cal-lout against the multitude of Spock variants. Mister Spock has been one of the franchise’s most popular characters for its entire duration, and in the process he has become a pop culture icon. As such, three different people have played the adult Spock over the years, and this embarrassment of Spocks gets a call-out in Star Trek #27.

Star Trek #27 is written by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly and drawn by Mike Feehan and Tess Fowler. To lighten the mood aboard the Theseus, Sisko throws a dinner party and invites his crew. As the night wears on, the crew starts playing games, one of which is to name three people, alive or dead, they would like to meet. T’Lir, the sole Vulcan aboard the ship, gives Spock as their answer.

Idw's Star Trek comic has just offered an answer to the perennial question of "which Enterprise is the coolest," as crews from two different eras, and two different timelines, agree that the USS Enterprise-a from the franchise's Kelvin timeline has the most "style," at least compared to the ships of the early 25th century.

Star Trek #26 – written by Collin Kelly & Jackson Lanzing, with art by Ángel Hernández – brings together the Kelvin Universe's Enterprise, helmed by a young Captain Kirk, and the crew of the USS Theseus, the all-star cast of the comic, which includes characters from multiple Trek generations, including a much older version of Montogomery Scott.

In addition to being an immediate classic Trek moment, the scene also amazingly finds the characters coming to a consensus about which era of Trek ship designs was the best.

Marvel Comics has announced X-Manhunt, the first X-Men crossover in this latest era of storytelling which kicks off in March. The event will have chapters in Uncanny X-Men, Nyx, Storm, X-Men, X-Factor, X-Force, and Exceptional X-Men before concluding in the double-sized finale one-shot, X-Manhunt Omega.

The saga kicks off when Professor X breaks out of Graymalkin Prison, sowing division and discord among the different mutant factions!

For his crimes against humanity at the end of the Krakoan Age, Charles Xavier remains a heavily-guarded inmate at a mutant detention center built at his former school, a cruel punishment he was willing to accept - until now! Driven by a mysterious new purpose, Professor X frees himself from captivity to undertake a mission of personal significance.

He has no time to lose as a telepathic virus wreaks havoc on his mind, and those around him. The hunt for the most dangerous mutant in the world begins,...

Earlier this week, Marvel Comics shared a cover for One World Under Doom's second issue, teasing Doctor Doom's ultimate victory over the Fantastic Four.

The new Sorcerer Supreme has become the ruler of the entire Marvel Universe and this key moment in Ryan North and R.B. Silva's One World Under Doom event will be further expanded on in Fantastic Four #30 where North's acclaimed run on the title takes a drastic turn.

As the shocking covers below show, Doctor Doom may have done what Mister Fantastic has failed to do for so long. The future of Marvel’s First Family has never been more uncertain as one of its members, Ben Grimm/The Thing, is taken off the board for good.

In addition, One World Under Doom will impact Spencer Ackerman and Julius Ohta’s new run of Iron Man, starting in issue #6 where Tony Stark debuts a new...

Star Trek just closed one of Spock’s biggest plot holes, thanks to the help of a Starfleet legend. In Star Trek #26, Captain Sisko and his crew travel to the Kelvin Universe. There, they meet Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise. The crew mingle, and in the process, a plot point from Star Trek Beyond regarding Spock is finally addressed.

Idw Publishing's rebooted line of Star Trek comics turned the cloned Klingon Emperor Kahless into its first major antagonist, as he unleashed havoc upon the galaxy in his quest to become a god. Now, Trek is boldly going to turn Kahless back into a hero – and though I have to admit I'm skeptical about the attempt, if the series manages to pull it off, it's going to be awesome.

The synopsis for Star Trek #30 – written by Collin Kelly & Jackson Lanzing, with art Travis Mercer – teases a redemption story for Kahless, who "must decide what Klingon honor really means." This comes as a major surprise to many fans, as the character's fall from grace in the ongoing series' first year was swift and severe, and had Universe-altering consequences.

As a reader, I've come to trust Trek's creative team, and so I am excited by this narrative decision, yet I have...

Marvel has just solved a Wolverine plot hole many fans might not have ever even considered – that is, how a character with a metal skeleton gets through a metal detector undetected. Now, Wolverine’s daughter, Laura Kinney, has given fans an answer, by claiming she has a pacemaker. Whether she actually does or not remains unclear, but in either case, it explains how she is able to avoid being scanned.

However, Marvel's premiere group of young mutants doesn’t seem as concerned as they should be.

Star Trek called out JJ Abrams’ 2009 reboot of the franchise with a hilarious dig. After a string of commercial and critical duds in the early 2000s, Paramount Pictures brought JJ Abrams in to revitalize the ailing franchise.

Thanks to the evil android Lore, Star Trek’s Kelvin Universe has been destroyed. Throughout Idw’s line of Star Trek comics, Lore has been slowly gaining power, and now he is ready to unleash his endgame: the total annihilation of the multiverse. Using the Bajoran Orb of Destruction, Lore has succeeded in his goal, and as seen in Star Trek #26, the Kelvin Universe paid the price.

Star Trek writers Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly also spearheaded Star Trek: Year Five for Idw.

Warning: Spoilers for Nyx #5Regardless of their creators' original intent, the X-Men have always been a team that promotes the importance of civil rights and social equality. When Chris Claremont became the franchise's focal writer in the 1980s, the X-Men became an analogy for the United States tumultuous civil rights issues. However, after two decades of moving away from Claremonts vision, the X-Men are finally returning to their most important themes.

Following the Fall of X, writers like Jed MacKay, Gail Simone, and especially Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing have returned the X-Men to smaller-scale series, allowing for more intimate stories - like in Nyx #5 by Kelly, Lanzing, Francesco Mortarino, Elisabetta D'Amico, Ral Angulo, and Joe Sabino, which features a clash between humans and mutants at a protest.

"One World Under Doom," an overarching status quo that sees Doctor Doom reign supreme, begins next February. In addition to a core title spotlighting the iconic villain's rise to glory as Sorcerer Supreme, Doom's rule will impact the entire Marvel Universe throughout 2025, specifically in various tie-in issues and series.

Today, we have news on Thunderbolts: Doomstrike, an exciting new "One World Under Doom" tie-in series where Doom will assemble a new - and classic - iteration of one of Marvel's most iconic Marvel super teams.

Thunderbolts: Doomstrike will be a five-issue limited series written by Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing (Nyx) and illustrated by rising star artist Tommaso Bianchi (Giant-Size Silver Surfer).

Recently, Bucky Barnes boldly assembled a team of black-ops heavy hitters to pursue the world's most dangerous individuals...inadvertently aiding Doom’s power grab. Now, his guilty conscience will drive him to challenge Doom's authority head-on and become a living symbol of resistance.

The Krakoan may style himself as X-Men's new Magneto, but the Master of Magnetism was of sound and free mind when he made his choices. It has become abundantly clear to me, as a reader, that Hellion can't be acting of his own free will, and he's not the villain causing the real threat instead, Empath is calling all the shots, and his involvement with the Purifiers solidified that.

Nyx #5 written by Collin Kelly & Jackson Lanzing, with art by Francesco Moratino Sophie Cuckoo reveals Empath's plan, and while it's as heinous as expected, I can't shake a detail that's convinced me of Julian Keller's innocence. Manuel intends to force mutants to create a new Krakoa, and the Purifiers (or Truthseekers) are an integral domino, but I refuse to believe Hellion would freely work with them.

The Purifiers were responsible for one of...

Warning: Spoilers for Nyx #4The X-Men's non-mutant power, the red triangle protocol that allows them to resist mind control or any other telepathic powers, is still in use even after the fall of Krakoa. The world of the X-Men has changed so much recently, especially as they build themselves up "from the ashes" after the destruction of Krakoa. Even though the X-Men have been divided, their shared power still remains.

The red triangle protocol returns in Nyx #4 by Jackson Lanzing, Collin Kelly, Enid Balm, Ral Angulo, and Joe Sabino. In this issue, despite Prodigy's advice not to go after her leads, Ms. Marvel is convinced that the new mutant terrorist is drawing her out specifically and winds up in a losing fight with the Krakoan. Even though he put his X-Men days behind him, Prodigy decides Ms. Marvel is right to stand up for mutants, and helps her.

When he arrives,...

Recently, in issue 25 of IDWs Star Trek comic, the evil android Lore destroyed the universe, and now, in a first look at issue 28, the destruction has spread to the entire multiverse.

Lore has destroyed the multiverse, and its fate now lies in Benjamin Sisko's hands. But after the U.S.S. Theseus slingshots into the Celestial Temple, Sisko finds himself without his crew... or any technology... on a Bronze-age Bajor. The ancient Bajorans don't know...

Warning: Contains spoilers for Nyx #4!The X-Men have faced plenty of powerful foes over the years, though few made an impact quite like Magneto. As the Krakoan steps in to take over the Master of Magnetism's dream of mutant superiority, his first major battle shows that he also inherited the former villain's fatal flaw. Prodigy is able to catch Julian Keller off-guard with an unexpected tactical move, turning his oversized ego against him.

The Krakoan faces his first major battle against his fellow mutants in Nyx #4, by Jackson Lanzing, Collin Kelly, Enid Balm, Ral Angulo and Joe Sabino, ultimately failing to secure a win. His defeat comes at the hands of former classmate Prodigy, and the loss reveals the new villain's biggest hurdle.

Like Magneto, the Krakoan is incredibly powerful, but he's also arrogant about his abilities and underestimates the teamwork of his opponents. For decades, Magneto lost to the...

Nyx No. 4 (Best of the Month)Writers: Collin Kelly and Jackson LanzingArtist: Enid Balam

Nyx remains the deepest series of the year. The writing team of Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing are giving the world of mutants that are rarely seen.

Warning: Spoilers for Nyx #4!The X-Men's latest villain is stepping into Magneto's shoes in a big way, as the Krakoan is adopting the Master of Magnetism's old philosophy and a few aesthetic elements to match. Now, he's added a classic catchphrase-turned-meme into the mix. As the Krakoan confronts Ms. Marvel, he pulls out Magneto's famous video game line, "Welcome to Die."

Nyx #4 by Jackson Lanzing, Collin Kelly, and Enid Balm brings Ms. Marvel face to face with the series' current villain, the Krakoan. Julian Keller, formerly known as Hellion, has taken his new role in stride. Hes adopted all the drama and pomp of the X-Mens original (and arguably greatest) villain, Magneto, along with his old homo superior agenda that calls for mutants to take their place above humanity.

Julian is taking plenty of inspiration from the Master of Magnetism, and there's no doubt who he's emulating. When...

Warning: contains spoilers for Star Trek #25!

Although Star Trek fans believe the galaxy is at peace with Species 8472, the franchise just confirmed they are still a massive, extinction-level threat. Introduced in Star Trek: Voyagers third season, Species 8472 has the distinction of being the one race even the Borg fearand for good reason. Voyager encountered Species 8472, and Janeway seemingly brokered an agreement, but as revealed in Star Trek #25, she had second thoughts.

Star Trek #25 was written by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly and drawn by Liana Kangas. Trapped in Fluidic Space, the Theseus runs afoul of Species 8472. A few of the aliens beam aboard the Theseus, attacking the crew. They are able to fend off the invaders, and Tom Paris tries to keep their spirits high. He mentions safeguarding the crews loved ones. As Species 8472 beams off the ship, one of them ominous says: Love? We have never heard of it.

Warning: Contains spoilers for Nyx #3!!Since the X-Men's creation, the team has acted as the beating heart of mutantkind. They've been their greatest defenders, ready to assemble and address the endless stream of catastrophes and threats, but not every mutant dreams of living life as a soldier prepared for combat. With Krakoa gone, the Morlocks are stepping up to provide a new safe haven for mutants and a way of living the X-Men can't offer.

In Nyx #3, former X-Men Anole follows Caliban below ground to discover the Morlocks' hideout. They welcome him with open arms, declaring that he is one of them. Like the Morlocks, Anole's distinctly "mutant" appearance makes it impossible to blend into the human society that Krakoa's fall forced them toward.

The Morlocks live in a world apart - rejected by humanity yet uninterest in the life of combat and fighting the X-Men offer.

Warning: contains spoilers for Star Trek #25!

After seven years, Star Trek has finally revealed the awe-inspiring reach of Discoverys Mycelial Network. Introduced in Star Trek: Discoverys first season, the titular ship used the Network to traverse great distances, almost single-handedly winning a war in the process. Much is still not known about the Mycelial Network, but in Star Trek #25, the crew of the Theseus learn just how important it isand why it must be protected.

Star Trek #25 was written by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly and drawn by Liana Kangas. The Theseus is traveling through Fluidic Space, when the crew make an interesting discovery: biological matter has attached itself to the ship. Analyzing it, Data learns it is a mycelium. Data then mentions the Mycelial Network, with Scotty explaining the basic premise behind it. The Network is rooted there, but it grows throughout all creation, making it the glue that...
