Summary

Oh , you ’re not ready . It is . The next spark of Defiant is very much pep up by the episode " cabal , " which I think we ’re all … it ’s one of those sequence that leave me wanting more . I feel like there were a lot of eyelet that were n’t close there , and we ’re hoping to shut some of those spread with this storey . Y’all are in for a untamed ride the next five month . Ángel Unzueta is coming back to draw this arc , and his weird ability to detail realism and graphic , pictorial contingent with this body horror . It ’s definitely made us have to make some originative choices on how we show certain elements . This arc is definitely not for the deliquium of heart and soul , but it does satisfy one of my goals . When I capture to take over Star Trek , one of my goals was , ' I want to do a Star Trek account that is Event Horizon meets Star Trek , ' and I really experience like this discharge satisfies that aspiration of mine
