The Space Between, could do with filling.
The Space Between was IDW's first Star Trek miniseries - It was a reasonable start to their output, but vastly superior comics have followed. Each issue of the six issues of the series was a more or less standalone story dotted about the TV era of TNG, with an attempt to pull them together in the final issue.

The final chapter of the series tries to tie the series together into a neat cohesive whole. However the story is so full of holes and far from clear as to exactly who the adversary lurking in the shadows of the events shown in other issues of the series is that it really disappoints.

Aside from that final issue the other stories in the book are quite nice little stand-alone tales: A season one visit to a strange new world; A Picard-centered archaeology murder mystery (the best story in the book); A battle with a robot hybrid starship; A planet full of zombie monks, and an agricultural disaster mystery.

David Tischman really has a talent for capturing the voices of the TNG characters, and his stories are nicely conceived if sometimes a little bumpy from the occasional plot-hole.

The art throughout the series was generally excellent. Casey Maloney produces scenery that is consistently fabulous, the books feels lavish in its rich painterly style. For some readers the characters likenesses might seem a little off on occasion, particularly Riker, but I didn't find this distracting, especially amongst the beauty of the rest of the artwork.

Overall this isn't IDW strongest Star Trek comic, but it has some nice stories and should at the very least provide an enjoyable distraction for any TNG fans.
