With Explorer, every issue feels like a treasure trove, and this one is no exception. The digital supplement, though 30 pages strong, is a delightful bonus with content that could easily have been in the main magazine including a wonderful story from Jake Black called “Academy Acquisition” about Nog.

Issue #9 is a fantastic read, brimming with variety. I'm already counting down to issue #10, anticipating it with the excitement of strikes resolved and news on new Trek shows/movies.

It still blows my mind they fit so much into 100 pages.
