The Original Series tells the story of the Enterprise's first\\nfive-year mission under the command of Captain James T. Kirk. But\\nwhere did that mission really begin and where did it really end? In\\nthis episode of Literary Treks hosts Matthew Rushing and\\nChristopher Jones find out as they overcome a case of arachnophobia\\nto join Kirk's crew on a trip to Archernar IV. Filling in many of\\nthe blanks left by the premature end of TOS, IDW's Mission's End\\ncomic series sets Kirk, Spock, and McCoy on the paths that lead to\\nwhere we see them in The Motion Picture
