Star Trek Strange New Worlds – The High Country Review

Star Trek Comics Weekly #144 – IDW Publishing, 2019–2020

With Star Trek: Year Five, IDW offered something different than its usual line of miniseries, one-shots, and ongoing sagas: a 26-chapter arc spanning a year’s worth of storytelling, detailing the final year of James T. Kirk’s five-year mission commanding the USS Enterprise. Star Trek: The Animated Series occurred sometime following the three seasons of the 1960s show, and this week’s batch of issues indicates when.

Star Trek Book Club Episode 1: Ghost Ship

Star Trek TNG The Continuing Mission Book Review

Out Today: “Star Trek: Lower Decks #7”

Out today: “Star Trek: Lower Decks #7“, by Tim Sheridan.

There’s nothing quite like a mother-daughter relationship. There’s also nothing quite like finding out your monolith of a captain used to be a carefree ensign who accidentally vanished her whole crew in an experiment gone wrong. Lucky for Beckett Mariner, she gets to soak up both experiences all on the same day as her mother, Captain Freeman, regales her with a throwback tale of how she was “just like you when she was young,” and “mistakes help us grow, blah, blah.” Meanwhile, all Mariner wants to know is how could Freeman let Pulaski get away with hair like that?

New Star Trek Book: “The Modern Afterlives of Old Irish Travel Narratives: From Gulliver to Star Trek”

The Modern Afterlives of Old Irish Travel Narratives: From Gulliver to Star Trek by Natalia I Petrovskaia has been added to the Star Trek Book Club!

This book explores the reception of the medieval Irish tradition of fantastic journey tales in Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels, C.S. Lewis’s The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Umberto Eco’s Baudolino, and the science fiction television franchises Star Trek and Stargate. In doing so, the book opens the door to a new history of literary reception, using Old Irish genre categories to analyse post-medieval texts. It aims to show that there is a family of texts produced in the post-medieval period that are heirs of the medieval Irish literary tradition of fantastic voyage narratives and that using Old Irish genre categories to analyse post-medieval works can open up new perspectives in our understanding of these works.

The book is currently scheduled to be published on July 24, 2025

Epic Comic Book Wednesday: Star Trek Year Five!

Strange New Worlds: Toward the Night (Star Trek book)

Star Trek Comics Weekly #143: IDW Publishing, 2019–2020

Star Trek: Discovery debuted on television in 2017, and it wasn’t long before IDW offered spinoff tales, including the miniseries The Light of Kahless and Succession, and the one-shot Discovery Annual. The publisher then released a third miniseries, Aftermath, as well as another one-shot, Captain Saru. This week, we’ll examine how both titles provided prequels, sequels, and tie-ins to onscreen Star Trek, and we’ll look back at a quartet of non-Discovery specials: The Next Generation: IDW 20/20, Voyager: Mirrors & Smoke, Star Trek: Sky’s The Limit, and Star Trek: Hell’s Mirror.

Happy 2025 Birthday to Edward Gross!

Happy birthday to Edward Gross!

Edward Gross is an author and journalist. Gross is the (co-)author of several unauthorized Star Trek reference books. His first Trek work was as a contributing free-lance writer for Starlog Press, the former O’Quinn Studios, for whom he started working from 1986 onward, submitting numerous articles. His articles were published in their Starlog magazine as well as the 1986-1988 publications Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home – The Official Movie Magazine and several issues of The Official Star Trek: The Next Generation Magazine.

For Starlog, Gross specialized in tracking down and interviewing the more peripheral contributors to the franchise, such as guest actors, directors, and writers, as well as lesser known production staffers, that were rarely, if at all referred to in other, later publications covering the franchise. Building upon the knowledge and experience garnered there he started writing his unlicensed reference books, most of them in cooperation with Mark A. Altman. In them he expanded upon the interviews he had done with said contributors, resulting in point of view works that were somewhat outside the more “political correct” ones utilized in the officially licensed works of, for example, Pocket Books. Interviewees, long outside the purview of official studio policies, often felt free to proffer a more critical view on the production of Star Trek and the studio policies surrounding them.

Star Trek Comics Weekly #142 – Rich Handley

The Enterprise’s five-year mission under Captain James T. Kirk was cut short after three seasons and seventy-nine episodes. Following the cancelation of Star Trek: The Original Series, viewers gained two seasons more with The Animated Series, but at only twenty-two episodes, those stories were hardly enough to account for years four and five. The two years after “Turnabout Intruder” have been fleshed out by various publishers, including in IDW’s Star Trek: Year Four and Year Four: Enterprise Experiment, though the nature of Kirk’s final voyage as captain has depended on the source.

Happy birthday to John J. Ordover!

John J. Ordover is a former editor at Pocket Books, and for many years he was responsible for overseeing the company’s line of Star Trek books. He is partially responsible for the “rebirth” of Star Trek fiction in the 1990s, being the driving force behind series-bending concepts such as the Invasion! miniseries, the Eugenics Wars novels, and Star Trek: New Frontier, Trek’s first novel-only series. He also edited the first seven volumes of the Strange New Worlds anthologies.

In August of 2003, Ordover left Pocket books to start up a book packager (though he did continue to work on a few projects he had left at Pocket), but ended up a part-owner of Phobos Books where he holds the title of editor-in-chief. There, he was responsible for the development of the new Phobos Impact Science Fiction and Fantasy lines, presenting the forthcoming novels All Eve’s Hallows by Dean Wesley Smith (September, 2005) Dragon America by Mike Resnick (also September, 2005), Sword of Orion by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller (October, 2005), Blood and Roses by Ann Tonsor Zeddies (November, 2005), The Genesis Project by Dayton Ward (January, 2006) Luna City Special Investigations: Dead Man on the Moon by Stephen Harper (February, 2006) and Phobos Rising by L.A. Graf (March, 2006).

In 2000, Ordover won the Psi Phi Award for Lifetime Achievement. It was subsequently nicknamed “the Ordie” in his honor.

He runs the SoHo Gallery for Digital Art in Manhattan.

Let’s start things off right by examining a comic strip you might not even have known existed. It was published in Germany’s Bild+Funk magazine, and I’ve translated it into English so that you don’t have to. It’s a fair bet that most fans have never heard of it. In fact, I only found out about this series in the past couple of years, thanks to my friend and fellow completist Mark Martinez, the proprietor of the Star Trek Comics Checklist.

A thrilling new novel based on the Paramount+ TV series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds!

While patrolling the borders of the Klingon Empire, Captain Christopher Pike and the crew of the USS Enterprise detect a series of subspace echoes from a planet orbiting a volatile flare star — and when Lieutenant Spock and Commander Una Chin-Riley lead a landing party to learn more, they discover the ruins of a dead civilization and evidence of starship-grade metals…quite possibly a crash site.

As they continue to investigate the strange signals, Spock and Una find shocking signs of dangerous alien life and remnants of what can only be Federation hardware. The trail soon leads Pike and Enterprise’s helmswoman Lieutenant Erica Ortegas deep into the mystery of a lost Starfleet vessel, missing in action for over ninety years—and to a terrible dilemma that will challenge the crew to question their past…and their future.

BOOK REVIEW: Star Trek: New Frontier, by Peter David

Amid all of this, Peter David’s New Frontier remains something special. It’s protagonist, Mackenzie Calhoun, is an original literary character. Joining him on the U.S.S Excalibur are a collection of very minor Next Generation characters like Robin Lefler, Doctor Selar, and Elizabeth Shelby, but also more characters from David’s own imagination. A few familiar antagonists (notably Q and the Romulans) make an appearance, but much of the action takes place in a specially-crafted corner of the galaxy, with original power dynamics, threats, and a full roster of supporting players.

But not everything is as hopeless as it seems: There are allies hidden in the unlikeliest of places and assets-like the famous USS Phoenix-that escape even the all-seeing positronic eye of Lore.

Star Trek: Legacy Exists. You Just Have To Read It

As season three of Star Trek: Picard was coming to an end, showrunner Terry Matalas began talking about how he was using the season to set up a new show titled Star Trek: Legacy. This hypothetical spin off series would follow Seven of Nine as the new Captain of the Enterprise G and her crew, which consisted of various children of the Star Trek: The Next Generation characters. This idea resonated with many Star Trek fans who were watching the show so much that they launched various online campaigns to try and convince Paramount to greenlight Star Trek: Legacy. Since the almost 2 years since Star Trek: Picard season 3 ended, Paramount has cancelled Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Lower Decks, Star Trek: Prodigy, and only produced Star Trek: Section 31 and the upcoming Starfleet Academy. Despite the continued online desire for Star Trek: Legacy, Paramount doesn’t seem interested. But in a surprising twist of fate, Star Trek: Legacy does exist, just not in the way most fans would probably accept.

Star Trek: Lower Decks #8

In a moment of mother-daughter bonding, Captain Freeman continues the story of how she was once a nobody screw-up just like Mariner! Where she last left off, Dr. Katherine Pulaski had taken the helm of the U.S.S. Illinois in its clash with a Romulan warbird-but, as feared, Pulaski’s brilliant track record of crashing spacecraft isn’t doing her any favors in the encounter. Freeman and Durango are called upon to save the day. If the crew is to survive, the two ensigns need to rise to the challenge of command… and fast!

Star Trek: Omega #1

Two and a half years of comics spanning 60 years of Star Trek history, a fair few awards, and more than a few universe detonations, and it’s all been coming to this! Star Trek: Omega is the denouement of the critically acclaimed Star Trek and Star Trek: Defiant storylines, and the first glimpse at what comes after. The crews of the Theseus, Defiant, and Enterprise set to work restoring the universe to what it should be after the evil android Lore’s intervention. Each hero finds their peace in preordained or unexpected ways, with individual scenes depicted by one of Star Trek’s or Defiant’s mainline artists! This finale pays tribute to all those involved in the series Screen Rant calls “the gold standard for ambitious comic book storytelling.”

Out Today: “Star Trek: Lore War #1”

Out today: “Star Trek: Lore War #1“, by Christopher Cantwell and Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing.

The all-new crossover event between Star Trek and Defiant is here! From the Eisner-nominated writers of Star Trek, Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly; the critically acclaimed writer of Star Trek: Defiant, Christopher Cantwell; and artist Davide Tinto, Lore War #1 shows us a universe rebuilt in Lore’s image. The crews of the Theseus and the Defiant scattered across the universe with no memory of who they once were-some even worship Lore as their God. Lore has won; his rule is absolute. But The Sisko remains, and there are forces who wish to remind him of his power.
