The Enterprise-G is on a desperate mission beyond the known Galaxy to relocate the dying Avuran people when its crew finds a perfect new home in a region of unknown space called the Epsilon Corridor. Three pristine Class-M worlds—the Trinity—await the refugees. No signs of civilization. No detectable threats. A colonist's dream. But the dream fractures fast. When Captain Seven of Nine and her divided, fast-tracked crew begin exploring the Trinity, they uncover disturbing contradictions: vanished structures, inexplicable artifacts, time skips, and evidence of a presence Starfleet's century-old probes never detected. Each world houses a different ecosystem, different physics problems, and different secrets—as if they've been curated…or quarantined. But from who? Or what? The first arc of Star Trek delivers a prestige, mystery-driven, high-stakes psychological thriller of an opening salvo—new worlds, new species, new existential threats—anchored by Seven, Jack, and Crash La Forge fighting to keep the mission together as the Galaxy's oldest ghosts awaken.

It's a good thing they made a new uniform for this series, it wouldn't be Star Trek unless they were changing their uniforms every couple of years! I probably shouldn't start off with a complaint, but TBH, I'm not really a fan of the new uniforms--assuming here that what's on that sample cover is an accurate representation of the uniforms used in the comic. They just give me the impression of "generic 1950s sci-fi uniform", and not in a good way. And putting the rank pips on the shoulder like that is a choice that I don't think we've seen before.

That said, the story itself sounds great (as long as I don't think too much about the "beyond the galaxy" bit), so I think I'm actually looking forward to this one a lot!

The initial promo image does make it look like the new image of the uniform is accurate.

Beyond the "known" galaxy. Even though in previous articles they seem to forget the Known.

Beyond the "known" galaxy. Even though in previous articles they seem to forget the Known.

OK, if it's just an unknown part of the galaxy, then that makes more sense. The sentence before that ("and this time, we're busting out of the four quadrants") seemed to imply they were going extragalactic.

I hope that's just some promotional artwork or just cover for the first issue, because I do not like it, and I'm not sure if I'd want to read a whole series that looks like this.
The more I'm seeing of the this, the more I'm wishing it was a novel series written by one someone like David Mack, Dayton Ward, Una McCormack, Christopher L. Bennett, ect..

I know it just wouldn't happen, but maaaaan...I'd love like a twelve issue maxi-series or something similar written by one of them.

Not much more than weve had before. First glimpse of our resident Bajoran, and is that a Reman and a Kazon?

STORY: CHRISTOPHER CANTWELL ART: DENNIS MENHEERE
COVER A: DENNIS MENHEERE
Their mission is new. Their legacy is not.
From the pen of fan-favorite writer Christopher Cantwell (Star Trek: Defiant, Star Trek: Red Shirts) and the brush of psychedelic standout Dennis Menheere (Etheres, Little Nightmares) comes the launch of an all-new flagship…and this time, we're busting out of the four quadrants.

OK, I know I'm not a marketer, so I may not be well-versed in the arcane arts, but...

That quote is so bland and generic, that one wonders why they even bothered with it.

"Crash"?

As a long practitioner of the arcane arts of comic book marketing...

I doubt CBR has seen anything more than IDW's press releases announcing the series, which CBR would turn into one of the slop... I mean, hype articles... and then IDW gets a pullquote from that.

I wrote hype articles like that for comics that I wouldn't see for three or four months, writing something that sounded knowledgeable without actually saying a damn thing. My favorite example of this was a Force Awakens comic, for which all I had to go on was the creative team, and I somehow spun that into three hundred words that io9 ran a feature on.

Comic book marketing is weird and incestuous, and greater minds than I have tried to make it better and failed. It's a broken system.

That's why I got paid the little bucks.

"Crash"?

Sidney La Forge's barely-touched-upon nickname from the streaming series into which the comic writers are leaning hard.

I'll take your word for it.

The uniform replicators/seamstresses were super busy after Nemesis!

Each ship/decade/year introduces a new design :P

 

[Extrocomp]

By the time of Star Trek Online, Starfleet has evidently decided to let captains wear any kind of uniform they want, even a mirror universe uniform.

Holy Schnikes ...

I think I'm in love.

It's a little creepy.

That is the coolest cover I have seen in awhile
