Main Enterprises' latest Whatever! (#5: Fall '22) is a breathtaking tribute to classic Star Trek and Disney's The Black Hole. Quite a cosmic combo!
It features the following articles: an overview of the Disney epic by Rock Baker, capped by a gallery of the movie's tie-in collectibles; D.G. Bishop's analysis of The Black Hole's engaging (and now rare) comic series (elevated by Jack Kirby); a comprehensive history of Star Trek: The Animated Series by Thomas Wheeler (equipped with an invaluable episode guide); and a retrospective on Star Trek: The Motion Picture and its evolving incarnations by yours truly.
There's also a ton of gorgeous photos and plenty of marvelous artwork. The latter comes from Tim Faurote (who bestowed the mind-blowing Reinhardt/Kirk cover); John Lambert (who fashioned to spiffy, Spock inside-front cover); David Branstetter; Tom Doyle; Troy Boyle; Roland Austin; Jamie Chase; Earl Martin; Steve Shipley; Doc Boucher; Doug Freeman; Kevin Duncan; Jack Bertram; Scott McClung; Carl Taylor; Jon Mundt; and George Lane III.
Robert Sodaro's layout is nothing short of perfection, and Jim Main's intro fuels this issue with the right, informative ump, making Whatever! #5 one of the most satisfying, science-fiction crossovers ever to come down the intergalactic pike.
