Star Trek: The Last Starship #12

(W) Jackson Lanzing, Collin Kelly (A) Adrián Bonilla

The final entry in the epic that has redefined the Federation.

Captains Sato and Kirk have put aside their monumental differences. Zed has constructed an engineering masterpiece in the T’Galatheon Gate. All those who remain true to Starfleet’s ideals have miraculously gathered in one place, and they are prepared to hunker down within the Gate’s singularity to finally rebuild what they lost in The Burn… and it’s all too late.

The Emerald Chain has sniffed out the motley assemblage and is decimating them in a brutal attack. But Sato, Kirk, and the crews of the U.S.S. Omega and U.S.S. Challenger have battled to find a whisper of a chance to save their Galaxy more times than they can count. And they won’t let this last hope die without a vicious fight — or a noble sacrifice.

Part three of our Halloween event!

A dire, garbled warning breaks through from Benjamin Sisko — he’s identified the suspects, and they’re extremely dangerous. Then the signal dies.

With communications severed and panic spreading, Worf and Odo move fast to protect the civilians and visiting dignitaries, sealing off the station and turning Deep Space 9 into a high-stakes locked-room mystery.

But just as order seems within reach, a chilling realization hits: Bashir and Dax are missing… and no one knows where they’ve gone.

Star Trek: Zero Point #1 is Interesting But Feels Familiar

Star Trek: Zero Point #1

A starship graveyard on the moon. A captain haunted by failure. A mission that could change the future of the Federation…or end it entirely. Raffi Musiker takes command of the U.S.S. Endeavour—and is immediately handed a classified directive from Starfleet. Follow the guidance of a powerful, untested A.I., built from mysterious technology recovered in the Epsilon Corridor, that can predict threats before they happen. But these missions aren’t exploration—they’re a gamble. As systems fail, pressure mounts, and missions spiral out of control, Raffi must decide who to trust: her crew…or the machine guiding them. Because some discoveries are better left buried. And some warnings come too late. Star Trek: Zero Point #1 is an interesting companion series but feels a little familiar.

Written by Charlie Jane Anders, Star Trek: Zero Point #1 is a good start with an interesting concept for a Star Trek series. Taking place six years after Frontier Day, the comic sets off in a new direction with relatively new characters while also building off of Star Trek’s history. While you don’t need to know about Frontier Day, the event does play a role as a shadow over Star Trek: Zero Point #1. Raffi Musiker takes center stage with an interesting crew and a secret mission.

The secret mission makes Star Trek: Zero Point feel more like it should be called Star Trek: Pre-Cog. The missions are driven by an artificial intelligence to stop threats before they happen. It’s a concept we’ve seen before in so many stories and hopefully Star Trek, with its willingness to discuss moral and ethical dilemmas, will explore that many problems with the concept.

Star Trek: Zero Point #1 brings with it an interesting crew that again feels familiar. It’s a varied crew, going heavy in the alien direction and when brought together, the officers feel more like the various Lantern Corps. than your usual crew. There’s the logical Vulcan as engineer and a Trill counselor but it’s Caitian who looks like Dex-Starr, a Tzenkethi who looks like the Yellow Lantern Arkillo, and finally a Pandronian who reminds me of Marvel’s Slapstick. The variety of characters is great, don’t get me wrong. But, this crew feels like it’s drawing from other things out there visually and in that way slightly distracts.

But, Star Trek: Zero Point #1 is an interesting start setting the ship and its crew to a unique world that feels like there’s actual danger. It puts the ship into a situation that feels different and stands out from the many missions I’ve seen or read. So, the comic does deliver some unique aspects that make it overall feel like a hodgepodge of action and adventure.

The art by Isaac Sánchez González and lettering by Jodie Troutman is good. As mentioned earlier, the characters do look familiar at times but the comic has an interesting mix of familiar and new. It’s the situations that feel like they really stand out such as an opening of reflection on the moon and taking the ship into an icy ocean. It keeps readers on their toes of things they may feel like they’ve seen before while offering something new and different at the same time.

Star Trek: Zero Point #1 is a good first issue that delivers things both familiar and new. It has an interesting premise that hopefully it’ll address as a concept and a crew that is definitely new and interesting. Much like the main Star Trek series, this one is plotting a new course and direction from the franchise that both honors the past while heading into a new future.

The Halloween event continues — and the danger deepens.

Deep Space 9 remains on edge as unexplained incidents multiply and trust continues to fracture. With conflicting testimonies, missing personnel, and diplomatic tensions nearing a boiling point, station security faces a mystery that refuses to add up.

While suspicions mount and the clock ticks toward disaster, a growing sense of unease suggests the truth may be far stranger — and far closer — than anyone suspects.

Star Trek: Red Shirts – Ghost of the 21st Century #3

(W) Gerry Duggan (A) Scott Buoncristiano

Section Null is capable of being anywhere and anyone. Not even the brass at the tippy top of Starfleet can be trusted. Andorian spy Lyna Taval and ex-bomber Harry Deubert only have each other to rely on, but both of them are wanted by their enemies… and by each other. And that complicates things.

Chased to the edges of the quadrant, there’s only one course of action left for them both: to take the fight to their greatest betrayer, the rat laundering latinum in reds shirts’ corpses for a mysterious end game — Chip Miller. But the rot in Starfleet runs deeper than one man’s involvement, and death flirts at the edge of every shadow.

Posted on by Leave a comment

IDW Publishing has announced acclaimed author Timothy Zahn is joining the final frontier with a new original graphic novel, Star Trek: Roc’s Egg, set to release October 2027. The legendary science fiction and fantasy author is best known for his New York Times-bestselling Star Wars: Thrawn trilogy and his work as creative consultant for the Disney+ miniseries​ Ahsoka, as well as the Hugo Award-winning Cascade Point. Zahn will be teaming up with celebrated comic artist Ángel Hernández to bring this all-new Star Trek adventure to life.

This announcement arrives as IDW Publishing continues to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Star Trek.

Something is rotten on Deep Space 9.

When a mysterious artifact known as a Roc’s Egg arrives on the station—and is seemingly destroyed in transit—a Federation JAG investigation is called in to uncover what really happened. But the deeper the team digs, the stranger the mystery becomes: a secret auction, a station full of wealthy collectors and dangerous criminals, a priceless artifact that may not be what it seems, and a murder waiting to happen.

From acclaimed author Timothy Zahn and artist Ángel Hernández comes Star Trek: Roc’s Egg, a twisty new mystery set aboard Deep Space 9 where everyone has something to hide—and the truth may be more valuable than the treasure itself.

Graphic featuring the title 'Star Trek RCS Egg' with the names 'Timothy Zahn' and 'Angel Hernandez' above it, set against a vibrant background with colorful streaks, indicating a sci-fi theme. Text includes 'Coming Soon.'
