IDW Publishing releases Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – The Seeds of Salvation #3 on Wednesday, and we have the official preview of the issue for you below….
Aboard the Enterprise, chaos erupts as Poilant drones attack without warning. With the ship under fire, Ortegas must push her piloting skills to the limit to buy Uhura a narrow window — one last chance to reconnect with their stranded crew and unlock the deadly mystery hidden within Poilant’s strange, ancient symbols.
Meanwhile, on a desperate mission to locate a missing Starfleet research team — and their friend Jinare — Chapel, La’An, Una, Spock, Scotty, and their unlikely robotic ally D6 stumble into the clutches of a terrifying parasitic hive-mind known as the Seed. As the alien collective tightens its grip, one question looms: Is this the force behind Jinare’s vanishing… or just the beginning of something far worse?

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – The Seeds of Salvation #4
The Seed has taken hold — body, mind, and soul. Now under its control, Una and Jinare have become relentless drones, driven by vengeance. As Chapel struggles to untangle the lies binding them together, La’An, Spock, Scotty, and D6 fight to reconnect with the Enterprise… but first, they must survive the crushing abyss — and a colossal sentient squid guarding the way to the surface.
Aboard the Enterprise, Uhura intercepts a strange signal pulsing from Poilant’s surface — faint, fragmented, and impossible to trace. But Ortegas spots something else: a glowing red light spreading across the terrain, its shape disturbingly familiar. Is it… a ship? Or something far more dangerous?

IDW Publishing releases Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – The Seeds of Salvation #5 next week, and you can get yourself a sneak peek at the issue with the official preview below…
Make one last dive into the deep and tentacle-filled waters of the planet Poilant!
Lieutenant Commander Una Chin-Riley is no longer herself. Possessed by the ancient hivemind known as the Seed, she’s turned against her crew — and now, aboard a derelict alien ship, she’s raining destruction down on the Enterprise above Poilant. Captain Pike fights to hold the line, but the ship is slipping through his fingers.
Miles beneath the ice, Spock and D6 seek answers from leviathan squids, while Chapel and Jinare battle a blizzard to save what’s left of a shattered research team. The cold is merciless. The Seed is watching. And hope is fading.
But Chapel won’t back down. If death is coming for her crew… it’s going through her first.
