IDW announces three new Star Trek limited series: Red Shirts, Strange New Worlds, and Voyager!

Posted on by

Set a course for bold new storytelling.

IDW Publishing has announced the expansion of the Eisner-nominated Star Trek line of comics with three new limited series, each one offering compelling tales that explore different genres and offer new and exciting experiences for every type of Star Trek fan in the universe.

Beaming into comic shops this July, Eisner-nominated writer Christopher Cantwell and awe-inspiring artist Megan Levens present Star Trek: Red Shirts, a five-issue heartrending Star Trek story that is unlike anything fans have seen before. Featuring a brand-new team of characters, the Red Shirts are commonly known as Starfleet’s fearless and doomed crew members. Now, these intrepid and ill-fated red-uniformed individuals finally get their own story, and no one is safe… Who will survive their deadly mission?

Landing in August is Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – The Seeds of Destruction. Presented by Robbie Thompson – who is also writing on season four of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – and incredible artist Travis Mercer, this five-issue limited series puts beloved characters Chapel, Una, La’An, and Spock – plus a new adorable robot sidekick named D6 – on a classic adventure with plenty of twists and turns as they explore an ice-covered planet and the scary secrets that lurk deep beneath the surface…

Thirty years after the show made its unforgettable debut, Captain Janeway and the crew of the U.S.S. Voyager are back for one final mission before they head home! From imaginative co-writers Tilly and Susan Bridges and acclaimed artist Angel Hernandez comes Star Trek: Voyager – Homecoming this September, a five-issue limited series that offers the final resolution fans have been waiting decades to witness. The final shot of the Emmy-award winning series featured the iconic ship approaching Earth before the screen goes dark… But what if just moments after that, there was one last emergency for the determined Captain Janeway and her brave crew? 

This exciting trio of new limited series comes as Star Trek: Omega approaches, an oversized one-shot which is the denouement of critically acclaimed Star Trek comic series and Star Trek: Defiant storylines. On sale June 18, Star Trek: Omega will serve as a heartfelt and emotional journey that should not be missed by Star Trek fans, both old and new. More new Star Trek comics are on the way as well, but those will remain classified… for now.

Get ready for Black Adam with the Justice Society Files

Posted on by

The hierarchy of power in the DC Extended Universe changes on October 21, as Warner Bros Pictures highly anticipated film Black Adam debuts exclusively in theaters.

After 5000 years of imprisonment, Black Adam is ready to impose his unique version of order on the modern world. The only thing standing in his way are the heroes of The Justice Society – Hawkman, Dr. Fate, Cyclone and Atom Smasher.

In the months leading to the films’ release, fans will want to learn all they can about these DC Super Heroes, as well as Teth-Adam, the man who becomes Black Adam, and DC will be on hand to provide that knowledge with Black Adam – The Justice Society Files.

Black Adam – The Justice Society Files are a series of one-shot comic books profiling the members of The Justice Society, their backgrounds, and connections to Black Adam, leading up to the movie. Each issue features a main story by writer Cavan Scott, plus a backup story by Bryan Q. Miller charting the path of Teth-Adam, from slave, to prisoner, to becoming the titular antihero.

The excitement kicks off Tuesday, July 5 with Black Adam – The Justice Society Files: Hawkman #1, on sale at comic book shops and participating digital retailers. Scott is joined by the all-star team of Scot Eaton (penciller), Norm Rapmund (inker) and Andrew Dalhouse (colorist) in this tale of Hawkman, an archeologist who is the reincarnation of an Egyptian prince and the leader of the Justice Society. 

On August 2, Black Adam – The Justice Society Files: Cyclone #1 places DC’s human whirlwind center stage in a story by Cavan Scott, with art by Maria Laura Sanapo and Arif Prianto. Black Adam – The Justice Society Files: Atom Smasher #1 spotlights the size-changing powerhouse of The Justice Society on September 6, written by Scott with art by Travis Mercer and John Kalisz. The series of one-shots concludes October 4 with Black Adam – The Justice Society Files: Doctor Fate #1, in a story by Scott with art by Jesus Merino and Ulises Arreola.

In addition to breathtaking cover art by Kaare Andrews, each issue of Black Adam – The Justice Society Files features a photo variant cover of the actors portraying The Justice Society, in their fantastic movie costumes –Aldis Hodge (Hawkman), Quintessa Swindell (Cyclone), Noah Centineo (Atom Smasher), and Pierece Brosnan (Dr. Fate). Fans can visit their local comic book shop for availability and pre-ordering details.
