Year Five #25 preview and artwork

This past week brought us issue 25(ad) of the Star Trek: Year Five(ad) comic series, the bumper epilogue issue which bridges the end of the Five Year Mission on towards the world of The Motion Picture. Almost the entire creative team of the two year maxiseries returned to contribute to this final issue, which was written by Jackson Lanzing, Collin Kelly, Jody Houser, Paul Cornell, Jim McCann, and Brandon Easton, with art by Carlos Nieto, Silvia Califano, Angel Hernandez, J.J. Lendl, Megan Levens, and Christopher Jones, all coloured by Charlie Kirchoff!

The book is available in two different covers, with the regular cover artists for the series of course also return: The main cover(ad) is by Stephen Thompson with colour by Charlie Kirchoff, while the rarer retail incentive cover(ad) is by J.J. Lendl. Continue below to check them out, plus a five page preview from the book, and come behind the scenes art:









Cover artist Stephen Thompson also shared on Twitter some of his artwork for the cover. Below is the inked version, before colour, and if you have a look on Twitter you'll find the pencil version of the design too.


While looking back to the previous issue, artist Silvia Califano shared her work on this time travel splash page:
