I somehow missed the first issue of this, but I’m assuming that Broccoli is up to something nefarious, but there wasn’t much nefarious stuff going on here, just a standard shuttlecraft ride from the Enterprise to the surface of the planet.  Spoilers: it sorts crashes, much to no one’s surprise.

Photo realistic comic art is unnerving when it comes to actors you know doing stuff you’ve never seen them do before, like Woody Harrelson fighting a giant tentacle monster.
