IDW Publishing is continuing its Star Trek line with three new titles, with the first kicking off in July 2025.
First up is Star Trek: Red Shirts, a five-issue mini-series by Christopher Cantwell and Megan Levens. As the title implies, it follows those who don’t always make it back from away missions.
Featuring a brand-new team of characters, the Red Shirts are commonly known as Starfleet’s fearless and doomed crew members. Now, these intrepid and ill-fated red-uniformed individuals finally get their own story, and no one is safe… Who will survive their deadly mission?
“STAR TREK: RED SHIRTS is in honor of the nameless vaporized, incinerated, and otherwise blown apart, where they’re the main characters of a STAR TREK-style suicide mission unlike any other. We will get to know these ensigns and lieutenants intimately before they are likewise crushed, disrupter’d, and sucked into space. Who will survive? Will any? And what is the true nature of their planetside mission to hunt down mysterious spies? This is a major melody Original Series-era story in the key of Death, one I’ve wanted to tell for years, equal parts fun and harrowing, subversive and celebratory of the boldest tunic color one can wear in Starfleet—security red.” – Christopher Cantwell
Then, in August 2025, IDW Publishing will release Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – The Seeds of Destruction by Robbie Thompson and Travis Mercer.
This five-issue limited series puts beloved characters Chapel, Una, La’An, and Spock – plus a new adorable robot sidekick named D6 – on a classic adventure with plenty of twists and turns as they explore an ice-covered planet and the scary secrets that lurk deep beneath the surface…
“As a lifelong fan of STAR TREK (TOS forever!), I was absolutely thrilled to get the call from editor extraordinaire Heather Antos to pitch on a Strange New Worlds miniseries. Working on the fourth season of the Paramount+ series has been a dream come true and I’m so excited to play in this sandbox further and be a part of the amazing line of TREK comics IDW has created. I’ve been a fan of Travis Mercer’s storytelling from afar, and it’s been a blast working with him and the rest of the team. We’re taking the SNW crew to one of the scariest and coldest corners of the universe, and I can’t wait for TREK fans everywhere to see the cosmic horrors we’ve cooked up!” – Robbie Thompson
Finally, in September 2025, we get Star Trek: Voyager – Homecoming, a five-issue mini-series that offers the final resolution we’ve been waiting for for decades. The mini-series is written by Tilly and Susan Bridges, with art by Angel Hernandez.
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 for the determined Captain Janeway and her brave crew?
“We’re so incredibly excited to be writing STAR TREK: VOYAGER – HOMECOMING! As lifelong fans, we’re delighted to be part of Voyager’s thirtieth anniversary celebration. We can’t wait to give Janeway and crew one last adventure… will everything go smoothly? Well, this is Voyager… who’s to say (we are, but we’re not gonna spoil it, where’s the fun in that?). We all spent seven years getting to know and love this crew, and it’s an absolute honor to be part of the team that brings them home.” – Tilly and Susan Bridges
With the Star Trek and Star Trek: Defiant storylines coming to an end, it is good to see IDW Publishing will continue to bring us even more Star Trek going forward.
