I love this back story to the initial antagonist from Discovery season 1. The depth, nuance and ethics simply is light years ahead (pardon my pun) of what we saw in the actual show. T'Kuvma's sister J'Ula is one of the most complex and tragic figures we have seen so far, and the Light of the Kahless is a fantastic addition to the world of Discovery.

Die neue „Star Trek“-Serie auf Netflix hat durch spektakuläre Effekte und spannende Figuren nicht nur frischen Wind ins Franchise gebracht, sie hat das Fandom auch durch unerwartete Entscheidungen ordentlich durcheinandergewirbelt. So wurden etwa die Klingonen, der Fans liebste Alienrasse, optisch verändert und auch charakterlich vom raubeinigen Kriegervolk zur eigentümlichen Sekte. Mysteriös hier war vor allem deren Anführer T'Kuvma. Der vorliegende Comic erzählt seine Geschichte.
T'Kuvmas Rolle ist kurz, aber eindringlich. Er ist der Prophet dieser klingonischen Sekte, die mit dem riesigen Schiff der Toten, der „Sarcophagus“ nach dem Licht von Kahless sucht, um die zerstrittenen klingonischen Häuser wieder zu einen. Sein Schiff ist dabei ebenso alt wie unheimlich, ist die Außenhülle doch von Särgen bedeckt. 2256 stößt die „U.S.S. Shenzhou“, kommandiert von Captain Philippa Georgiou und mit Protagonistin Michael Burnham an Bord, in den ersten beiden Episoden der ersten Staffel „Star Trek Discovery“ auf T'Kuvma, sein Schiff und seine Anhänger und später kommt es zum Kampf, bei dem das Schiff schwer beschädigt wird und T'Kuvma sein Ende findet.
Der Comic setzt kurze Zeit danach ein. Voq, der albionartige Nachfolger von T'Kuvma, zweifelt an sich und seiner Kraft zu führen, während er, die Klingonin L'Rell und eine Handvoll Überlebende in der „Sarcophagus“ festsitzen. L'Rell nutzt den Moment, um Voq die Geschichte von T'Kuvma zu erzählen, wie er zu dem Mann wurde, der er am Ende war (woher auch immer sie diese teils sehr privaten Erfahrungen kennt, wird nicht verraten). Auf 96 Seiten werden die im Wesentlichen vier Stationen von T'Kuvmas Leben dann geschildert.
Es ist ein Entwicklungsroman, wie er im Buche steht. Als jüngster Spross des im Niedergang begriffenen, kleinen klingonischen Hauses Girjah wird T'Kuvma von allen nur herumgeschubst. Er hat kein Ziel und keine Kraft. Ersteres ändert sich, als er eines Tages erfährt, dass seine Schwester und einige Diener ein uraltes Raumschiffwrack der Vorfahren des Hauses Girjah wieder herrichten wollen, um damit nach Boreth zu gelangen, zu einem Kloster, das sie die Weisheiten und den Weg von Kahless, dem einstigen Imperator und größten Krieger aller Klingonen, lehren soll. Doch es wird nur T'Kuvma sein, der dort hingelangt. Die Erfahrung verändert sein Leben für immer …
Viel mehr soll gar nicht verraten werden, die Geschichte ist kurz genug. Und richtig viel Handlung hat sie eigentlich auch nicht. Stattdessen nehmen sich die Autoren Kirsten Beyer und Mike Johnson – beides absolute Kenner der jüngsten „Star Trek“-Ära – viel Zeit, die klingonische Seele zu erforschen. Natürlich gibt es auch Verrat und Intrigen, aber es überwiegt die Wandlung T'Kuvmas vom gepeinigten Jungen zum charismatischen Anführer, der die ganze Zeit von dem Traum angetrieben wird, dem Vorbild des Kahless gerecht zu werden.
Es steckt also eine Menge Klingonentum auf den Seiten, auch wenn es dem Alt-Fan nach wie vor schwer fällt in diesen optisch doch sehr von den bekannten und geliebten TNG-Klingonen abweichenden Figuren die gleiche Spezies zu erkennen. Die bizarr geriffelten und langgezogenen, glatzköpfigen Schädel suggerieren gerade bei „Star Trek“, wo jeder Hubbel auf der Stirn eine andere Spezies bedeutet, etwas völlig Neues und Fremdes. Auch ihre Freude, körperliche Herausforderungen – sei es eine Klosterprüfung, ein Gladiatorenkampf oder eine Geburt – komplett nackt zu erleben, ist eine bislang gänzlich unbekannte klingonische Eigenheit, auch wenn es zu einem so körperbetonten Volk passen mag. Allein in ihrem Reden und Kämpfen erkennt man das Klingonische wieder.
Fans freuen sich vor allem, dass der Comic ein paar Antworten auf Fragen gibt, die man zu Beginn von „Star Trek Discovery“ hatte. Wo kommt dieses seltsame Schiff her? Warum ist es mit Särgen gepflastert? Wieso wirken diese Klingonen so sektenartig religiös? Dazu wird auch noch ein interessantes Angebot zur Spekulation gemacht, wer Voq in Wahrheit ist. Der Comic verrät es nicht explizit, bietet aber genug Hinweise, um dem Leser eine hübsche Theorie zu erlauben.
Visuell weiß der Comic absolut zu gefallen. Tony Shasteen trifft bekannte Figuren wie T'Kuvma, Voq und L'Rell sehr gut. Auch die bizarr verschnörkelte Optik der „Sarcophagus“, der Rüstungen und Waffen kommen gut zur Geltung, wenngleich die Hintergründe bisweilen gemäldehafter wirken als die Figuren, die in ihnen agieren, sodass es zu leichten Brüchen in der Bildkomposition kommt. Aber das stört kaum. Alles in allem hat der Comic einen sehr deutlichen, eigenen Stil, der eine Atmosphäre des Archaischen verbreitet. („Uruk-hai im Weltraum“ schoss es mir bisweilen durch den Kopf.)
Eine Reihe Coverbilder runden das Werk ab.
Fazit: „Das Licht von Kahless“ erzählt die Vorgeschichte des enigmatischen Anführers T'Kuvma. Dessen Entwicklung wird in wichtigen Stationen nachvollzogen und bietet Fans interessante Hintergrundinformationen zu T'Kuvma selbst, aber auch zu Voq und dem Schlachtschiff „Sarcophagus“. Es lohnt sich, den Comic begleitend zu einer erneuten Sichtung der ersten beiden Episoden „Star Trek Discovery“ zu lesen. Man sieht danach einiges, was einen vielleicht irritiert hat, klarer.

The Klingons have always valued honour. None more so than the charismatic T'Kuvma, who led the Klingons into the disastrous Battle of the Binary Stars, which led to the first war between the Federation and the Klingon Empire. His life story bears studying by all who wish to know the heart of a Klingon.
Beyer's story provides some insight into the enigmatic warrior and, coupled with the excellent artwork, this makes a wonderful companion piece to 'Star Trek: Discovery'.

Decently done little backstory. Not necessary but not a bad addition.
August 31, 2020
3.5, rounded up.
Set after the first two episodes of Discovery, this story is told almost entirely in flashback as we learn the secret history of T'Kuvma, the Klingon messiah. It's a deep dive into Klingon culture, with some interesting revelations about the character and his impact on both L'Rell and Voq that give their actions some more context.
It's not a particularly deep story, but it's inoffensive, and doesn't contradict anything, so that's a good start for the Discovery comics. I'm not massively familiar with IDW's Trek outings, but if this is the standard, then I'd say that's not bad at all.
The art is by Tony Shasteen, and he gives the Klingons nice weight and heft while making sure they're all visually distinct. It's easy to sometimes mix-up the Klingons on the show, but there's no chance of that here. The sweeping galaxy shots are very pretty as well.
Hardly required reading, but not a bad addition to the Disco universe.

Star Trek fans did what they always do when Discovery premiered in 2017: they feared something new. They feared the new take on the Klingons, a more alien version stooped in a more defined vantage point. Light of Kahless is a deep dive into the life of T’Kuvma, the would-be new Klingon savior who dies early in the series, leading to the intrigues of L’Rell and Voq that conclude in the second season. If you’re looking for some cosmetic unity with classic depictions of Klingons in the franchise, don’t get worked up, because you won’t find it. Instead this is the kind of look at the political maneuvering of the Empire that fans first tasted in The Next Generation, and how someone rose above all that to try and find something greater. Or at least a common enemy. A fascinating addition to the lore, among the best IDW has done with the franchise.

This is a fun comic that gives some insight into some of the Klingons who take front and center in STAR TREK: DISCOVERY. While it mostly focuses on T'kuvma and his rise to power, there is also some side focus on Voq and L'rell. While I don't know if I felt like I gained any additional insight into the histories of the characters that made a difference in my perceptions of them, it does raise a couple questions about a couple of them. While it's not necessary for STAR TREK: DISCOVERY fans, I thought it was a quick and fun read.

This is a prequel graphic novel to "Star Trek: Discovery" which tries to explain the motivations behind T'Kuvma, but it's a really disappointing and dissatisfying story which really doesn't seem to be used in the show itself.
July 16, 2021
Due storie ben scritte e interessanti. La prima, "La Luce di Kahless", strutturata come un racconto a flashback, narra la gioventù di T'Kuvma, l'artefice della sanguinosa guerra tra la Federazione Unita dei Pianeti e l'Impero Klingon; il suo cammino spirituale e la sua ossessione per essere l'incarnazione di Kahless l'Indimenticabile, il suo allontanamento dalla famiglia e di come darà inizio alla guerra.
I disegni sono molto belli, soprattutto per via della difficoltà nel riprodurre questo tipo di klingon. Getta un po' di luce sul fanatismo di questo personaggio tanto influente quanto poco presente e sulle persone che l'hanno influenzato: il fidato amico Khel e la sorella J'Ula.
La seconda storia, "L'Inizio" è più accattivante e molto più Star Trek, racconta di come lo scienziato umano Paul Stamets e il suo amico e collega Justin Straal scoprono il fungo protaxites stellaviatori, alla base del motore miceliare che permette alla U.S.S. Discovery di balzare da un punto all'altro della galassia attraverso una rete di vie subspaziali. La personalità di Stamets è vivida come nella serie e mentre leggevo immaginavo proprio la sua voce. Avvincente e interessante in tutta la parte scientifica come un qualsiasi episodio di Star Trek. Bello come viene mostrato l'incontro col dottor Hugh Culber e come cresce lentamente la loro relazione.
Un buon fumetto, peccato per qualche piccolo errore grammaticale e di trascrizione nei dialoghi della seconda storia e soprattutto, peccato che la Italycomics non abbia voluto tradurre gli altri fumetti canonici legati all'universo di Star Trek usciti in questi anni. Ennesima dimostrazione di quanto questa splendida saga sia poco seguita, poco apprezzata e spesso snobbata qui in Italia.

This is the first comic series tied to Star Trek: Discovery, and it follows the events leading up to the first episode from the perspective of the Klingons. It was interesting to read because when I first watched the early episodes of dsc, I didn't give a shit about the Klingon politics when there were new and interesting characters to meet (Michael! Saru! Philippa!) so it was interesting to gain some insight into Voq and L'Rell's position in the beginning of the war. Also I know very little about Klingon culture, so it was fascinating to read a story set on Qo'noS. But the comic should totally have dropped the bookending narrative... it was just a waste of pages tbh.

I finally decided to explore the sort of Star Trek Discovery expanded universe through the IDW comics and this was an interesting little prequel piece to kick things off. The book gives us a better understanding of how the Klingons turned things around and led up to the gathering of forces at the beginning of the TV series.
I'm still getting used to this version of the Klingons. I know it's just a visual/aesthetic change, but it can get a little distracting as you get through the story. The tale itself largely makes sense but feels a little personal in scale more than it is about the Empire as a whole. This isn't a bad thing but just a caveat that defines where the story can go.

An awesome Star Trek graphic novel that is going along hand in hand with the new Star Trek Discovery show where this story line takes place hundreds of years BEFORE the Star Trek stories we know. This one was ESPECIALLY wonderful to me because it was focusing on Klingons!!! I love the Klingons....
This story goes back and forth from present times with the person narrating the story of how there now dead leader came to power and all that he had done for his people. Lovely, wonderful art and such a good story!

This book actually starts out relatively well. Issue 2 in particular gives us a sense that it could be a great prequel, but then it peters out. There's just not a lot going on besides T'Kuvma being etched in stone as a paragon of Klingon virtue. There are two concluding revelations, about Voq and the ship that sparks the battle of the binary stars. But only the latter is engaging and it makes you wonder if there could have been so much more to this series than Klingons reenacting scenes from Hamlet.

This short grpahic novel shares the story of T'Kuvma and his rise to power in an attempt to rebuild the influence of his house and to bring the Klingon Empire together. This really sets up the events of the early plots of Star Trek: Discovery. Along with his sister, J'ula, T'Kuvma have plans that at first seem childlike, but really are just what the Klingons will need.
There is no question that the book is interesting. It certainly sets up the events for all the Klingons who play a major role in the first couple of season of Discovery.

Similar lack of art quality to the Dynamite comics that I've derided over the years, so I do feel the need to be somewhat consistent in my criticism. I also have to look askance at the strategy of publishing 4-issue trades. It's barely enough time to breathe much less tell a complete and satisfying story. It's a shame because there are some fun ideas that could have been developed further in this blink-and-you'll-miss-it story. Ultimately, you'd probably be better served by a rewatch of one of the good TNG klingon episodes.

I am new to Trek and specifically Trek books and comics. However, I have been watching everything Star Trek for the last few years and I love it. However, I say that because I may not have the same critisizms as lang time fans. I was delighted by STD and wanted to indulge in the other media. This comic had some great artwork and a really cool Klingon backstory that proceeds the events in Discovery. I hope to see more Discovery media in the future.

This is really enjoyable and sets out the background to T'Kuvma and the sarcophagus ship from the first series of Star Trek Discovery.
The fact that Kirsten Beyer is involved in the writing lends an air of 'canon' to the story and the artwork matches the style and feel of the television series.
Highly enjoyable

From the first episode of Star Trek Discovery, I was intrigued by T'Kuvma. This trade gave a very good look into his early life, struggles, exceptional fortitude and how great leaders arise from unexpected events. It also shows the things we believe are not always pure, and that even the greatest leader has flaws.
January 17, 2020
Klingon storylines have never been the Star Trek narratives that resonate most strongly with me, but I just did a quick re-watch of season 1 of Discovery and this short series is worthwhile supplemental material. The details about T'Kuvma's upbringing and context for his motivation to unify the Klingons are compelling.
May 25, 2021
This is one where I enjoy the art more than the story. So far, I haven't really read Klingon-focused stories that I've really loved. This was a decent tie-in overall. But I'm not exaggerating when I say that this is some of the best-looking art I've seen in Star Trek comics. The detail in the architecture is very well done.
November 19, 2023
While I'm still not fond of the appearance of Star Tek: Discovery-style Klingons, the story itself was a fascinating character examination of the would-be Klingon messiah T'Kuvma. Quite frankly, if the Discovery episodes featuring T'Kuvma had given this much care and attention to the character, I might actually have become a fan of that series.
February 17, 2019
Si os ha gustado la primera temporada de Star Trek: Discovery, este cómic es un excelente complemento para revisitar la serie antes de La Batalla en las Estrellas Binarias; descubrimos más sobre la vida de T'Kuvma, cómo consiguió la nave y quizás algo más sobre el pasado de Voq.
March 3, 2019
Not a bad comic, and one that brings forth a bit of prequel mythos into Star Trek Discovery. In this one we see the origins of the Sacrophagus ship, and T'Kuvma and Voq themselves, and other Klingons who are acting...dishonorably...to say the least.
February 16, 2020
Really solid backstory for T’Kuvma, with Voq and L’Rell getting solid character work that lends a lot of credence to their arc at the beginning of season 2 of the show.
It’s unfortunate that the art doesn’t live up to the story.

Puikiai iliustruotas komiksas, tačiau istorija neužkabinanti. Žinoma, Star Trek fanams pasakojimas, kaip T'Kuvma tapo klingonus ėmusiu vienyti lyderių ir koks buvo jo kelias prieš prasidedant "Star Trek Discovery" seriale rodomam veiksmui, turėtų patikti.
February 28, 2021
This was a good story. It adds and ties in well with the story told in Discovery season one. The artwork appealed to me, as well. I’m not as excited about the Klingon culture as some others in the ST universe, but I do like that the Klingons feel more nuanced than in other stories.
January 19, 2022
Pretty good. As much as I dislike Discovery's Klingon design, this all still felt very "Klingon." Some of T'Kuvma's story in this is more interesting than in Disco itself, which is why it gets the 4 instead of a 3.
November 26, 2022
A good series and a good set up for the Discovery comic book stories. Maybe barely a 4 of 5 stars, but a touch better than 3 of 5 overall. The artwork is good and interesting. The story is genuine Star Trek and also engaging and authentic.
April 13, 2025
Really solid and exciting to see a story from the world of Discovery in a book. Beautiful colors. I’ll admit a story completely contained within the world of Klingons isn’t what I’m craving from a Discovery comic book. They did a good job with Tkuvma’s story, though, and it was fun to see.
January 30, 2026
Wanted to read a Star Trek book and this was handy. I didn't realize that was gonna be a book solely about the Klingons. But it actually hooked me pretty quick comment , and I found it interesting. Good story And the artwork is very similar to the show.
