New Ongoing Comic Book Series from Critically Acclaimed Artist Ramon Rosanas and Fan-Favorite Writers Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing to Debut in October<\/span><\/div>\n
\n\n\n\n\n
\u00a0<\/strong>IDW<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is proud to announce a bold new direction in\u00a0Star Trek<\/em>\u00a0comics, beginning with a brand-new flagship ongoing series that goes where no one has gone before! Debuting in October 2022,\u00a0Star Trek\u00a0<\/em>#1<\/strong>\u00a0features art by\u00a0Ramon Rosanas\u00a0<\/strong>(Marvel\u2019s\u00a0Star Wars, Ant-Man<\/em>), and scripts by\u00a0Collin Kelly<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Jackson Lanzing<\/strong>, the creative team behind\u00a0Star Trek: Year Five.<\/em><\/p>\n

Star Trek <\/em>#1 weaves an epic and unprecedented adventure story that spans the far reaches of the\u00a0Star Trek<\/em>\u00a0multiverse, bringing together characters from across the galaxy\u2014and all eras and variations of the beloved franchise\u2014who must band together to prevent the mysterious murder of the gods.<\/p>\n

Its stardate 2378, and Benjamin Sisko has finally returned from the Bajoran Wormhole omnipotent. But his godhood is failing with every minute. Sent by the Prophets on a mission to the deepest parts of space aboard the\u00a0U.S.S. Theseus,<\/em>\u00a0he witnesses the unthinkable: Someone is killing the gods. And only Sisko and his motley crew of Starfleet members from every era of\u00a0Trek<\/em>\u00a0can stop them.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a child, I watched reruns of the classic\u00a0Star Trek<\/em>\u00a0series endlessly\u2013until\u00a0Next Generation<\/em>,\u00a0Voyager<\/em>, and\u00a0Deep\u00a0<\/em>Space Nine<\/em>\u00a0came along!\u201d Rosanas enthuses. \u201cAfter that, I didn\u2019t miss a single episode of those three series\u2019 each week. Gene Roddenberry is History with a capital\u00a0H<\/em>\u00a0and his legacy is unstoppable. Having an opportunity to bring my passion and creativity to this franchise is incredibly exciting for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBenjamin Sisko is back!\u201d Lanzing says. \u201cWe\u2019re immeasurably thrilled to launch a new starship with a crew of new and familiar faces heading on a mission that will truly go where no one has gone before\u2014an\u00a0Avengers<\/em>-style ongoing crossover that treats Gene Roddenberry\u2019s creation as a living universe. This is a book where anyone can show up and where anything is possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDreams of an optimistic, utopian future of cooperation and equality are more important now than ever,\u201d says Kelly. \u201cWe\u2019re both excited to continue the stories that have meant so much to us in the past and to welcome new readers to Starfleet. This is a grand adventure, one that weaves together elements from every\u00a0Star Trek<\/em>\u00a0series to tell a new, vital, and forward-thinking sci-fi saga.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cStar Trek<\/em>\u00a0has always been about telling stories of a better future,\u201d says editor\u00a0Heather Antos,<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cof hope for humanity. Something this world needs now more than ever before. And what Jackson, Collin, and Ramon are doing with this series is bigger. Bigger and bolder than any\u00a0Star Trek<\/em>\u00a0series has gone before.\u201d<\/p>\n

Star Trek\u00a0<\/em>#1<\/strong>\u00a0will be available in October with eight variant covers for fans and retailers to enjoy, including Cover A by series artist Ramon Rosanas, Cover B by\u00a0Declan Shalvey,<\/strong>\u00a0Cover C by\u00a0David Aja (TBC),<\/strong>\u00a0Cover D by\u00a0Rachael Stott,<\/strong>\u00a0and a sketch Cover E, as well as three additional retailer incentive covers by Rosanas and\u00a0Francesco Francavilla<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/strong>Fans will also be delighted to read a\u00a0Star Trek<\/em>\u00a0#1 prelude story from Rosanas, Kelly, and Lanzing in September\u2019s highly-anticipated\u00a0Star Trek<\/em><\/a>\u00a0#400<\/a>, a monumental anthology issue!<\/p>\n
