Written by Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing.

The Federation has fallen. Hope is fading. One last starship remains to fight for the future…unless a resurrected James T. Kirk dooms it first.
Fresh off the run Screen Rant calls one of “the greatest eras in the history of Star Trek comics,” writers Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly along with rising star and artist Adrián Bonilla (Alkaios, Let Her Be Evil), now bring you a new mission the likes of which comics have never seen before.
For seven centuries, the United Federation of Planets brought together the entire Galaxy with peace, stability, enlightenment, and the promise of mutual protection. And then, in one terrible moment, it all crumbled in an event known as THE BURN, a Galaxy-wide disastrous event in which dilithium has gone inert, causing the detonation of every active warp core. The only ship remaining is a hack-and-slash Enterprise-Omega and its ragtag crew. Facing a true Wild West in space, the crew will need to make use of what few resources they have to uphold Starfleet’s mission of unity across the universe…and Captain Kirk will have to face a future without the Federation he loved so dearly…

Star Trek: Voyager Omnibus

Standard Cover by: Jake Bartok
MSRP: $15.99 USD

Written by Dave Baker and Paul Allor.

Join Captain Janeway and the Voyager crew in four tales of adventure and intrigue!
First, in Seven’s Reckoning, a chance encounter with a reptilian alien race draws Seven of Nine and the rest of the U.S.S. Voyager crew into an ancient class conflict that’s on the brink of exploding into all-out war! Set during Star Trek: Voyager‘s amazing fourth season, Seven finds her newfound humanity in conflict with her commitment to the Prime Directive. When she finally makes her choice, will it have the desired result? And will there still be a place for her aboard the Voyager once the dust clears? By writer Dave Baker and artist Angel Hernandez.
Then, in Mirrors and Smoke, it’s 2372. Rebel ship Voyager—captained by Kathryn Janeway, an escaped slave from a brutal Cardassian mining facility—is flung halfway across the universe. Stranded in the Delta Quadrant, Janeway and her ragtag rebel crew are faced with a choice. Find their way home, or quietly forge a new life far away from Klingons, Cardassians, and the Rebellion? Janeway chooses the third option. The Voyager will stay. The Voyager will plunder. The Delta Quadrant will be hers, and she will be its Pirate Queen. By writer Paul Allor and artist J.K. Woodward.
Closing out this omnibus are two short stories, “The Wildman Maneuver” from Star Trek: Waypoint by writer Mairghread Scott and artist Corin Howell and “The Swift Spoke” from Star Trek: Waypoint Special 2019 by Malachi Ward and Matt Sheehan.

Star Trek, Volume Five: When the Walls Fell

In its escape from the Delta Quadrant, the Theseus has landed in an unknown sector of space that appears safer—if 100 years younger—than their own. There, the crew receive a signal from an oncoming ship: the U.S.S. Enterprise. Captain James T. Kirk is hailing!
Benjamin Sisko is against a godkiller once again, but this time it’s up to him alone to save reality itself! Volume 5 collects Star Trek issues #25–30 by writers Collin Kelly & Jackson Lanzing with artists Liana Kangas, Angel Hernandez, Mike Feehan, Tess Fowler, and Travis Mercer.

UPC: $82771403430100331

Written by Christopher Cantwell.

It’s a race to the top as the anti-Federation spies and the Red Shirts summit the towering antenna on Arkonia 89. The spies seek to escape a transporter disrupter and make it back to their ship with their stolen data, and Raad, Grash, Vesta, and Miller will try to stop them by any means necessary. The climb is made all the more difficult by fire raining from above via a cloaked Warbird captained by a young Romulan and a mysterious Tal Shiar officer.
Meanwhile, on the ground, Lanier, Amiga, and DeMatrio realize a hidden secret about the deceased Cromarty’s base. It just might be their ticket out of this mess alive, but as more lives are senselessly lost, the Red Shirts start to wonder if Starfleet would even care if they made it back at all.

Are the comics constrained by the same rules post-coda as the novels? Or are the comics basically what the lit-verse was now?

 

[Christopher]

Are the comics constrained by the same rules post-coda as the novels? Or are the comics basically what the lit-verse was now?

I'm not sure what you mean. The only "rule" is that all Star Trek tie-ins are obligated to conform to the onscreen continuity as it exists at the time of their writing. They can conjecture about parts of the continuity undepicted by screen canon, as the novels were free to do during the years that little or no new canon was in production, but if new screen canon contradicts older tie-ins, then newer tie-ins must follow the new screen continuity. This has always been the case.

Did Red Shirts #3 come out Wednesday or is it next week?

 

[Adventerprise]

Wednesday, according to Amazon.

 

[Enterprise1701]

Huh. Quite the continuity link in Red Shirts #3

Spoiler

for the author to show what Commander Revo and Chairman Neral were up to a century before their deaths in Defiant #20 / #21.

But no QuchHa' Klingons!

UPC: $82771403368701211

Cover B by: Kendall Goode
MSRP: $4.99 USD

Written by Tim Sheridan.

The Lower Deckers and Cetacean Ops officers Kimolu and Matt continue their mission to replenish Earth’s population of humpback whales! The krill situation is getting out of control, and the songs they sing are just too good to let them die out. There’s also the pesky situation where Ronald (the last whale!) has to occasionally talk that uptight space probe (whenever it shows up) into sparing the Earth from doom and destruction. But Ronald’s getting on in age and won’t be around forever…so the crew needs to find him a love match, stat, or Earth might face its end.

I just read that one yesterday, and it was a fun conclusion to the story arc.
I'm reading Red Shirts #3 right now, and I'm really getting more hooked on this series than I thought I would. The story and writing are good, and I like the art a lot. I'm very curious to see which cast members will survive to the end.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that they said at the end of Lower Decks #12 that the next issue will start a new 6-issue story arc, which I believe will be longest story we've gotten in the Lower Decks comic yet.

Out now, another entry in the "Omnibus, but only sorta" series that IDW is doing:

Star Trek: Picard Omnibus

Standard Cover by: Sara Pitre-Durocher
MSRP: $24.99 USD


Can’t get enough of the Picard series? Read two graphic novel adventures that provide more context, with one story taking place before season one and the second taking place after season two!
Witness the events leading to the epic series Star Trek: Picard. Before he retired to his vineyard, Jean-Luc Picard was the most decorated admiral in Starfleet. Then one mission changed his life forever. After discovering that a looming supernova threatens the entirety of the Romulan Empire, the Federation launches a mission of unparalleled scale. Admiral Picard heads to the colony to plan the evacuation but makes a shocking discovery!
Then, following the climactic events of season two’s finale, Jean-Luc and Seven of Nine launch an unsanctioned mission that sets the stage for season three! When an offer comes in from the stars, Picard is once more compelled to leave his chateau and confront the shadows of his past. Before his days on the Enterprise, a young Picard and his crew aboard the U.S.S. Stargazer saved a thriving planet from resource-hungry Romulans…or so he thought. Now landing on a seemingly unrecognizable planet, he and his crew work to save the system—and their ship—from disaster.
Written by Star Trek: Picard co-creator and supervising producer Kirsten Beyer and fan favorite Mike Johnson with art by Angel Hernandez! This omnibus also contains an interview with Kirsten Beyer, discussing the development and creation of the TV series and how the comic fits into its world, and a special look into how the U.S.S. Verity was designed by Thomas Marrone, lead ship and UI artist for Star Trek Online.

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…

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: The Seeds of Salvation #3





Written by Robbie Thompson.

Aboard the Enterprise, chaos erupts as Poilant drones attack without warning. With the ship under fire, Ortegas must push her piloting skills to the limit to buy Uhura a narrow window—one last chance to reconnect with their stranded crew and unlock the deadly mystery hidden within Poilant’s strange, ancient symbols.
Meanwhile, on a desperate mission to locate a missing Starfleet research team—and their friend Jinare—Chapel, La’An, Una, Spock, Scotty, and their unlikely robotic ally D6 stumble into the clutches of a terrifying parasitic hive-mind known as the Seed. As the alien collective tightens its grip, one question looms: Is this the force behind Jinare’s vanishing…or just the beginning of something far worse?

But when the crew arrives on Laapeeria bearing gifts, Freeman and company are shocked to discover the entire planet has been abandoned!

MSRP: $4.99 USD
UPC: $82771403458500211

UPC: $82771403458500231

Written by Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing.

In the wake of the cataclysm known as the Burn, the dream of a united Federation stands on the brink of extinction. The only thing holding the Galaxy back from chaos is Captain Sato and the crew of the Borg-enhanced Omega—a ship fueled by transwarp technology and fraught with distrust.
No one on board trusts the Borg…and Captain Sato trusts their mysterious new passenger, bearing the face and name of James T. Kirk, even less. This so-called Kirk speaks of a dark future, but Sato refuses to be guided by fear or prophecy.
When a distress call from the Klingon Empire pierces the silence—urgent, cryptic, and unexpected—Sato doesn’t hesitate. Whatever the risk, he will answer. Because if Starfleet’s legacy is to survive, it won’t be through retreat. It’ll be through action.
