SPEEDSTERS FROM THE PRESENT MEET DARKSEID FROM THE PAST! The Speedsters’ race through time has led them to an encounter with a Darkseid from the past, and their escape leads them to a shocking reunion!
For 60 years, Star Trek has captivated fans with its inspiring stories of exploration and discovery. To celebrate this year’s milestone anniversary, IDW Publishing is unveiling its biggest and boldest plans yet for the iconic science fiction franchise.
Beaming into comic shops this September is Star Trek #1, the can’t-miss debut issue from the new blockbuster ongoing series. From Eisner-nominated writer Christopher Cantwell and Ringo-nominated artist Dennis Menheere comes the epic story about survival and legacy as a secret mission led by Captain Seven of Nine brings the Enterprise-G beyond the four quadrants of the galaxy for the first time ever. The Enterprise ventures into a hidden region of space where time fractures, minds unravel, and an unseen power manipulates fear itself—testing whether the Federation’s ideals of exploration are salvation… or the universe’s greatest mistake.
Landing in October is Star Trek: Zero Point #1 from Hugo Award-winning writer Charlie Jane Anders. While the Enterprise vanishes beyond the galaxy, Captain Raffi Musiker commands a starship tasked with preventing tomorrow’s disasters today — guided by a powerful artificial intelligence wearing the face of a familiar ally that may know too much, and understand too little about hope.
This year will also see the release of two exceptional one-shots that commemorate everything that makes Star Trek truly special. From an incredible lineup of LGBTQIA+ creators comes Star Trek: Celebrations 2026 in May, starring the universe’s queer characters in tales of love and triumph, exemplifying Gene Roddenberry’s mission for us all to one day celebrate infinite diversity in infinite combinations.
This September, the 50-page comic Star Trek: 60th Anniversary Special is one big celebration of the compelling and beloved franchise. Featuring all-new stories by Dana Gould, Ryan North and Derek Charm, David Walker, Megan Camerena, and more! Plus, covers by Michael Cho, John Tyler Christopher, Chris Fenoglio, and more!
Also releasing this year is Star Trek: Starfleet Academy – Lost Contact #1 (04/15/26), plus new issues of the hit titles Star Trek: The Last Starship and Star Trek: Lower Decks. Even more new comics will be revealed later this year, too.

Star Trek: Lore War
Written by Christopher Cantwell, Collin Kelly & Jackson Lanzing
January 13, 2026
Lore War shows us a universe rebuilt in Lore’s image. The crews of the Theseus and the Defiant are scattered across the universe with no memory of who they once were—some even worship Lore as their God. Lore has won; his rule is absolute. But the Sisko remains, and there are forces who wish to remind him of his power.
From the Eisner-nominated writers of Star Trek, Jackson Lanzing & Collin Kelly; the critically acclaimed writer of Star Trek: Defiant, Christopher Cantwell; the Eisner-nominated writer of Shaxs’ Best Day, Ryan North; and artists Davide Tinto and Derek Charm comes the next big Star Trek event!

DC K.O. ALL FIGHT MONTH: ROUND 6 OF 8! It’s the match you never saw coming!
Star Trek: Red Shirts #5
(W) Christopher Cantwell (A) Megan Levens
Only two red shirts remain. The other ten crewmembers on Mission Squawkbox have plummeted hundreds of feet to the ground, been eaten alive by giant alien insects, or been exploded into a million tiny bits by falling torpedoes. Each death has dealt a blow to Ensigns Raad’s and Miller’s morale… Is Starfleet really the paragon of cooperation it claims to be? Or is it willing to expend its members’ lives for the sake of peace? With both Klingons and Romulans breathing down their necks, Raad’s and Miller’s loyalty will be tested. Are they for Starfleet? Or themselves?

(W) Christopher Cantwell (A) Megan Levens
Ensigns Raad and Miller find themselves on a dark ship and face to face with… Klingons. The two red shirts are accused of being spies, and their captors brutalize and torture them for any information they can get on how the Romulans were able to access a Starfleet subspace antenna feed. Meanwhile, DeMatrio, Amiga, and Lanier engage in a tense starship battle with a Romulan Bird-of-Prey.
If all six remaining red shirts are going to make it off Arkonia 89 alive, someone is going to have to make a sacrifice — but for what? How many red shirts have died to ferret out the Romulans? There must be more to the story than Starfleet is letting on…
