Neat!
The book that appeals to me most is Red Shirts, if only because I’ve really enjoyed Cantwell’s writing on the Defiant book. The premise sounds like it could be a bit of a slog, but hopefully it’s not just about seeing these characters eat it.
I guess Voyager - Homecoming is geared towards all the fans who found “Endgame” to be an unsatisfactory ending to VOY. The Bridges’ work I’m mostly familiar with from their contributions to Star Trek Adventures.
Honestly find it a bit difficult to muster up any enthusiasm for an SNW comic. I’m not at all familiar with Thompson’s work – looks like he’s done a lot of young reader books and Star Wars stuff for Marvel – but I’m immediately put off by the adorable robot sidekick idea. I’ll still give the book a chance, but I’m not going to go in with high expectations.
hopefully it’s not just about seeing these characters eat it.
It really does sound like a spin on the Suicide Squad or, dare I say it, Section 31 premise.
It really does come across as a Suicide Squad riff. Which I guess is kinda what Cantwell’s Defiant book has been, except he’s not able to kill any of the characters, because as opposed to DC’s third string jobbers like Heatmonger and Reactron, Defiant features Worf, and Spock, and B’Elanna Torres.
STAR TREK: RED SHIRTS, kicking off in July, is the start of an all-new heartrending Star Trek five-issue miniseries by writer Christopher Cantwell (Star Trek: Defiant) and artist Megan Levens (Star Trek), featuring Starfleet’s most intrepid and doomed crewmembers: red shirts. Now, finally, they get their own story.
Led by an experienced officer embedded on the snow-ridden planet Arkonia 89, the crew of the U.S.S. Warren has a small window in which to pin down spies seeking to steal classified secrets and keep Starfleet data out of their nefarious hands.
They face threats not only from their faceless enemies but from the brutalizing elements and wildlife of a planet far from home. The red shirts’ lives and Starfleet’s sanctity are on the line…and no one is safe.
Then, launching in August, is the five-issue limited series STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS - THE SEEDS OF DESTRUCTION from writer Robbie Thompson and artist Travis Mercer.
It’s classic adventure tale with plenty of twists and turns as the crew explore an ice-covered planet and the scary secrets that are lurking deep beneath the surface… Featuring beloved characters First Officer Una Chin-Riley, Security Officer La’An Noonien-Singh, Science Officer Spock, and Nurse Christine Chapel - plus, a new adorable robot sidekick named D6!
2025 continues the 30th anniversary celebration of the fan-favorite series Star Trek: Voyager with the STAR TREK: VOYAGER - HOMECOMING, a five-issue limited series launching this September, from co-writers Tilly and Susan Bridges and artist Angel Hernandez.
Captain Janeway and the crew of the U.S.S. Voyager are back for one final mission before they head home. The limited comic series aims to offer the final resolution that fans have been waiting decades to witness.
This story picks up just moments after the final shot of the series! 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?
