2023 book releases

I'm looking forward to more Sisko adventures in Godshock. I've ordered it from my local comics shop.

Two new books from IDW spotted:

The first collection for the new regular series, in hardcover:

Star Trek, Vol. 1: Godshock
By Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing
Illustrated by Ramon Rosanas
Hardcover - $24.99
Jul 11, 2023 | ISBN 9781684059904

Deep Space Nine captain Benjamin Sisko returns in a new ongoing series featuring fan-favorite characters from across the Star Trek universe, sure to thrill new readers and longtime Trekkies alike!

Stardate 2378: A bold new era of Star Trek begins! Three years ago, Benjamin Sisko made a courageous sacrifice that left him trapped in the dimension of the mysterious Prophets; now he’s returned to his home universe—with powerful, godlike abilities. But his omnipotence is failing when he needs it most. Someone is killing the gods, and Sisko and the motley crew of the U.S.S. Theseus will have to travel to the deepest parts of space to stop them.

Star Trek: Year Five lead writers Jackson Lanzing & Collin Kelly (Batman Beyond, Captain America) and artist Ramon Rosanas (Star Wars) present a new ship, a new mission, and a lot of old friends! Sisko is joined by Commanders Data and Worf, and Dr. Beverly Crusher, of Star Trek: The Next Generation; Lt. Tom Paris, of Star Trek: Voyager; Ensign Lilly Sato, of Star Trek: Enterprise; Captain Montgomery Scott, of Star Trek: The Original Series, and Ben’s son, Jake. But there are new faces as well, to surprise established fans while showing new readers the ropes.

Collects issues #1–6 of the ongoing series.

And the first volume of a Library series collecting lots of things. First trade seems to collect the original Countdown, the Nero miniseries and Spock: Reflections.

The cover looks like Gold Key comic style, right?

Star Trek #13
Alternate Cover B
Alternate Cover C
(W) Collin Kelly (A) Jackson Lanzing, Angel Unzueta (CA) Marcus To
Captain Benjamin Sisko's quest to defeat the killer of gods is at an end, and the Prophets beckon him home to the Celestial Temple. He's earned his rest, but when Starfleet requests his help to stop a familiar foe, the Tzenkethi Coalition, from launching the largest fleet in their history, Sisko and the Theseus' crew set out once again to save the galaxy. But there's a reason this species of spiritually rich, reptilian lizard birds has twice defeated Starfleet in battle. They're xenophobic, ruthless, and innovative... and confronting them on their home turf, a planet thought to be an organism itself, is as good a death sentence as any.

Alternate Cover B
Alternate Cover C
(W) Kirsten Beyer, Mike Johnson (A/CA) Angel Hernandez
Captain Pike's crew must think on the fly as they race to the finish line, try to stay alive, and cover one another's backs! But it's not only the Scorpius region that's unfamiliar to them. The people and ships they've been forced to join are strange, and they will have to get creative if they're to make it through the mobster Zephyx's rat race.

Class. Homework. Sleep. Repeat! Such is the life for Starfleet Academy star pupil Jean-Luc Picard. But if he's to achieve his dream of an early graduation and his own crew, he'll need to face his worst fear head on: making friends. But this doesn't come easy for Jean-Luc, not when he's got a bully like the Betazoid Resh calling out all his mistakes and a really cute girl named Marty making him nervous... and certainly not with guest professor Spock analyzing every step he takes!

The Kirk on the sample page looks like he was drawn by Michael Allred (Madman), which would be fascinatingly huge if true. :)

It's probably not, because if IDW had secured Allred for a Star Trek comic, that's something they'd announce right away.
 
Written by Casper Kelly, the comic will first arrive digitally in September, with physical printed copies available at the IDW Publishing booth at New York Comic Con in October.

Does that mean it will only ever be physically available at NYCC? Meaning the rest of us are stuck with overpriced copies from Ebay?

I thought it looked like Allred too, but it's Jonathan Case, a very fine artist in his own right.
 
Derek Tyler Attico?!? Two SNW publications and a few magazine articles do not make one a "veteran" ST author.

In fact, they do. While the word "veteran" is often used to mean someone with long experience, it is valid to use it for a person with any past experience in a given field. And while Derek may have more articles and Star Trek Adventures games to his credit than prose stories, he's been part of the author community for 18 years. He's hardly a novice.
 
Another lovely person to block!
And why would that be?

Just in TrekLit alone, I've read books by total unknowns that were magnificent, and at least one by one of my personal favorite authors that left me wishing I could un-read it.

(I might also add that the specific book I was thinking of, that I wish I could un-read, was by the same author who did the best two installments in the "Autobiography" series, and whom I wish had been given the rest of them.)

Agreed. The British MOD defines a veteran as anybody who has served a in the Armed Forces for… wait for it… at least one day.
