For those who are trying to count IDW Publishing out, the company seems to be doing okay, with the announcement it has renewed its license with Paramount for more Star Trek comics.
“STAR TREK is not just an iconic franchise, but a universe that celebrates diversity and creativity,” remarked Davidi Jonas, CEO of IDW Media Holdings. “The STAR TREK community is one that we’re proud to serve and be part of. The team at Paramount share our love of storytelling, universe expansion, and delighting fans. We are humbled and excited to renew our commitment, and plan on years of going boldly forward with our partners and fans.”
IDW Publisher Mark Doyle is honored to have the legacy of STAR TREK continue to expand under IDW. “I have always loved STAR TREK for its positive vision of the future. It’s been such a joy to watch and support the editorial and creative teams as they tell bold new stories in this universe that have really resonated with audiences old and new.” The Publisher continued, “From Eisner nominations to glowing fan praise, the STAR TREK community has really embraced the stories we’re telling and I cannot wait for them to see where we go next!”
Star Trek #500 is set to arrive on September 4, 2024, with a story co-written by Patton Oswalt, while Star Trek: Lower Decks – Warp Your Own Way arrives on October 22, 2024.
