IDW Publishing is to launch a new Star Trek ongoing series in May 2026, named simply Star Trek , and with Seven Of Nine as the Captain of the USS Enterprise-G. Set after the events of Star Trek: Picard , the comic book series will be written by Christopher Cantwell , with art by Dennis Menheere and lettering by Jodie Troutman . Star Trek will see Seven Of Nine lead the Enterprise on a top-secret mission to a hidden region of space, beyond the four charted quadrants of the Star Trek galaxy as we know it, to investigate a mysterious power that threatens to unravel the Federation, for the 60th anniversary of the series.
« 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, » Cantwell said in a statement provided to io9. « 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, » Cantwell continued. « 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. »
