Moments before returning to Earth, the crew of Voyager are betrayed by insurgents hidden on board! With her ship’s deflector dish broken and the ship itself out of her control, Janeway must convince the aliens that Starfleet means them no harm if she’s ever going to get her found family home. If that weren’t enough to handle, there’s a ticking clock to contend Tuvok’s disease has accelerated, and he must get home to mind-meld with a family member to cure himself with Fal-tor-voh…before it’s too late!
Star Trek: Voyager – Homecoming #2 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Written by Susan Bridges & Tilly Bridges Art by Angel Hernandez
The second installment of Homecoming delivers everything a Voyager fan could hope for—and more. Picking up moments before the crew’s long-awaited return to Earth, the story plunges us into chaos, betrayal, and emotional urgency. Insurgents hidden aboard Voyager sabotage the ship, leaving Janeway scrambling to regain control and broker peace with alien stowaways who fear Starfleet’s intentions. It’s classic Trek diplomacy under fire, and Janeway shines.
But the heart of this issue belongs to Tuvok. His accelerated neurological decline adds a ticking clock to the mission, and the urgency of his need for Fal-tor-voh—a Vulcan mind-meld ritual with a family member—brings a deeply personal layer to the stakes. The Bridges’ writing balances action and emotion beautifully, while Angel Hernandez’s art captures the tension and intimacy of these moments with cinematic flair.
This issue doesn’t just continue the story—it elevates it. It honors the legacy of the television series while expanding its emotional depth and narrative scope. A must-read for Voyager fans and a powerful reminder that coming home is never simple.
This is a very solid second issue that ratchets up the suspense several notches. The alien threat (don't want to spoil anything just in case) is very real and you can actually feel some of the fear from the characters. This doesn't feel like some random threat, this one feels serious, and it's impressive that this level of tension has been achieved so quickly. The art is good again, I've seen enough from Angel Hernandez to know what to expect at this point.
My only real issue with this one, and it's a minor one that others might think I'm crazy about, is the choice of the cloud bubble for the alien thoughts. For such a sinister alien race using telepathy to push intrusive thoughts and threatening words at their prey, a cloud bubble reminiscent of Garfield or some other humourous comic strip, seems like a bad choice. It really undercut the threatening tone for me, and almost made me read the alien words in a silly, cartoonish voice, which is definitely not what's intended. Beyond that, it's been a wild ride so far, and I'm curious to see where it goes, as this is basically supposed to be a second series finale for the Voyager crew.
I really liked this, even better than issue 1. It has the pace of a good star trek episode's middle, and the art is just so good, the faces have the essence of the characters without being photorealistic. It was tense in the best way. I loved Seven carrying a baby, talking to Tuvok, attempting to soothe both in her stilted language. So great.
Poor Tuvock , Really Tom Paris!!!!! BeLanna Torres Paris you just had a baby and you need to rescue your husband! So are you interested yet grab issue 2 of Star Trek Voyager Homecoming!
Really loving this alternative ending to Homecoming. Having to deal with Species 8572 again, and in such an interesting different way. Can't wait for the next issue!
