‘STAR TREK’ Comics Launch Bold New Era to Celebrate 60th Anniversary
Fresh from their previous success and celebrating the 60th anniversary, IDW Publishing has announced two new Star Trek comics - Star Trek #1 and Star Trek: Zero Point#1 - as well as news on two new one-shots!
For 60 years, STAR TREK has captivated fans with its inspiring stories of exploration and discovery. To celebrate this year’s milestone anniversary, IDW Publishing is unveiling its biggest and boldest plans yet for the iconic science fiction franchise.
Beaming into comic shops this September is STAR TREK #1, the can’t-miss debut issue from the new blockbuster ongoing series. From Eisner-nominated writer Christopher Cantwell (Iron Man, Out of Alcatraz) and Ringo-nominated artist Dennis Menheere (Little Nightmares: Descent to Nowhere, Hello Darkness) comes the epic story about survival and legacy as a secret mission led by Captain Seven of Nine brings the Enterprise-G beyond the four quadrants of the galaxy for the first time ever. The Enterprise ventures into a hidden region of space where time fractures, minds unravel, and an unseen power manipulates fear itself—testing whether the Federation’s ideals of exploration are salvation… or the universe’s greatest mistake.
“As we look back on 60 years of Star Trek, we celebrate a story universe that has actually always been about looking forward — a shared dream swirling within the daunting wonder and awe of the stars. I discovered Star Trek at the age of 10 and my life was never the same. The worlds, the people, the stories that wrestled with the work it takes to build community and consensus, to establish and hold sacred values like peace and harmony, the tenuousness of truce amid a galaxy of agendas and perspectives. That is the magic of Star Trek — the kaleidoscopic wonder of its complex themes and notions.
In building a brand new Star Trek adventure, we seek to do just that: create something brand new, something that looks entirely forward into the hope of the complete — and at times frightening — unknown, all as our ensemble of characters stands shoulder to shoulder, facing the expanse of an adventure never dared before. There is an abundance of incredible mythos that Star Trek has given us over six decades, but with this launch we seek to shed that past even as we embrace its best qualities.
If you’ve never experienced Star Trek in your entire life, this adventure is for you. It is a clean slate; truly a strange new world full of new characters — some of whom speak to what has come before, yes, but whose entire mission and purpose concerns boldly going where literally no one has gone before… not even Star Trek itself.” - Christopher Cantwell
Landing in October is STAR TREK: ZERO POINT #1 from Hugo Award-winning writer Charlie Jane Anders (New Mutants, Women of Marvel). While the Enterprise vanishes beyond the galaxy, Captain Raffi Musiker commands a starship tasked with preventing tomorrow’s disasters today — guided by a powerful artificial intelligence wearing the face of a familiar ally that may know too much, and understand too little about hope.
“I’ve loved Star Trek for as long as I can remember — literally, some of my earliest memories are of wearing a homemade Starfleet uniform and waiting to get beamed up. I’m putting all my favorite Trek things into this comic: problem solving, ethical dilemmas, identity crises, and above all, chosen family.
At the same time, I’m determined to write a Trek comic that newbies can read with no homework required: there are no easter eggs, no callbacks to deep lore. Anyone who loves Becky Chambers or Martha Wells ought to be able to pick up this comic and get a fun science fiction story about artificial consciousness and exoplanets. Also, I’m talking to tons of physicists to get the most accurate science I can into this comic. I’m having the time of my life.” - Charlie Jane Anders
This year will also see the release of two exceptional one-shots that commemorate everything that makes Star Trek truly special. From an incredible lineup of LGBTQIA+ creators comes STAR TREK: CELEBRATIONS 2026 in May, starring the universe’s queer characters in tales of love and triumph, exemplifying Gene Roddenberry’s mission for us all to one day celebrate infinite diversity in infinite combinations.
This September, the 50-page comic STAR TREK: 60TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL is one big celebration of the compelling and beloved franchise. Featuring all-new stories by Dana Gould, Ryan North and Derek Charm, David Walker, Megan Camerena, and more! Plus, covers by Michael Cho, John Tyler Christopher, Chris Fenoglio, and more!
Also releasing this year is STAR TREK: STARFLEET ACADEMY - LOST CONTACT #1 (04/15/26), plus new issues of the hit titles STAR TREK: THE LAST STARSHIP and STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS. Even more new comics will be revealed later this year, too.
Contact a comic shop near you to pre-order STAR TREK #1 and other STAR TREK comics, it’s the only way to guarantee your copies.
