Official synopsis:

Caleb, Genesis, Jay-Den, Kyle, and Tarima are all students of Starfleet Academy, the illustrious school responsible for the Federation's best. One day, they dream to serve as great leaders on board ships of their own, to study the cultural intricacies of sentient life amongst the Galaxy, or to go where no person has explored before. But today, their mission is simply to execute a survey simulation on a lifeless, low-oxygen planet. Or at least, it seems simple... until a huge storm cuts off their contact with their teachers aboard the Athena... and something impossible appears: an alien. Now, they'll have to work together and use everything they've learned in class about first contact to make it off the planet alive!

This special one-shot features Lieutenant Nyota Uhura. In the 23rd century, she explores far-flung star systems with her crew on the Enterprise as part of her mission to communicate and build bridges with life found across the Galaxy. But in the 20th century, humankind was working to build understanding among themselves, with African Americans on Earth championing the Civil Rights Movement and using their voices and acts of protest to end racial segregation and discrimination.

Now, by way of the Guardian of Forever, Uhura is yanked back through time to 1963. There, she’ll join all those fighting for equality and justice and reconnect to why her work as a communications officer is perhaps the most important work of all.

For 23 years, the delegates have been left to their own devices, to stew in their own machinations and to make new allegiances... and while the U.S.S. Omega may have brought them all together, the Burn has forced them apart. Not all want to broker peace, and someone who was once closest to Starfleet may become its greatest adversary...

Publisher's description:

From the humorous world of Lower Decks come two adventures featuring the U.S.S Cerritos’ security chief doing what he does best, fighting fascists, in these comics based on the hit series!

See the battle to stop the fascist, god-killing clone Kahless II from declaring war on nonfollowers across the galaxy through the eyes of the man, the myth, the legend, Lieutenant Junior Grade Shaxs! See the Bajoran’s beast-mode brawl showcasing all the behind-the-scenes Klingon-zealot butt-kicking in full animated glory!

Then, Shaxs had his best day, but now that the universe has been rewritten by the mad android Lore, he’s about to have his worst. Starfleet has been distorted into a machine of oppression antithetical to everything it once stood for, and Shaxs has been made into the one thing he despises most in the universe: a fascist. Once he's free of Lore’s hold over his mind, it will be up to Shaxs to revert everyone in Starfleet back to their old selves and save the cosmos.

For the first time, get both issues by writer Ryan North and artist Derek Charm in one collection! Shaxs’ Best Day was nominated for a 2024 Eisner Award for Best Single Issue/One-Shot and a 2024 Ringo Award for Best Single Issue or Story.

Official synopsis:

Only two red shirts remain. The other ten crewmembers on Mission Squawkbox have plummeted hundreds of feet to the ground, been eaten alive by giant alien insects, or been exploded into a million tiny bits by falling torpedoes. Each death has dealt a blow to Ensigns Raad’s and Miller’s morale... Is Starfleet really the paragon of cooperation it claims to be? Or is it willing to expend its members’ lives for the sake of peace? With both Klingons and Romulans breathing down their necks, Raad’s and Miller’s loyalty will be tested. Are they for Starfleet? Or themselves?

Publisher's description:

This all-new Star Trek novel celebrates the 60th anniversary of Star Trek: The Original Series—continuing the legacy of Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the USS Enterprise.

2269: The prospect of peace had seemed unattainable until the assistance of the Federation. Finally, countless ancient enemies have stopped their conflicts simply by listening to one another. On the planet Voyzr, Captain James T. Kirk and his crew aided the planet to realize peace.

2289: Invited to celebrate twenty years of peace, the crew of the USS Enterprise-A is returning to Voyzr as honored guests. Security Chief Pavel Chekov remembers his visit to the planet as a green ensign. He has always believed the negotiations were too easy, and he wondered if there are people on the planet who still long for war—and have been waiting for just the right moment to upend the peace. Unfortunately, Chekov discovers he is right when he finds himself in the middle of a dangerous ploy.

Official synopsis:

To save the Federation — and the entire Alpha Quadrant — Captain Janeway made the ultimate sacrifice: deleting Species 8472’s data on opening a singularity into normal space. Now, Voyager is stranded in fluidic space... and 8472 wants them dead.

Hunted by a relentless alien fleet, Janeway and her crew go on the run, weaving through planets and asteroid fields in a desperate bid to survive. But just as hope begins to fade, Voyager’s sensors detect something unexpected: the wreckage of a Borg cube.

Is it a lifeline back to the galaxy they call home... or the beginning of an even greater threat?

Star Trek: The Last Starship #2

The Last Starship continues with issue two, out today! The newly-resurrected James T. Kirk finds himself facing a universe in shambles. The Burn has nearly wiped out Starfleet, and the people around him are suspicious of his nature, having been brought to life by Anges Juratti's Borg Collective.

Official synopsis:

In the wake of the cataclysm known as the Burn, the dream of a united Federation stands on the brink of extinction. The only thing holding the Galaxy back from chaos is Captain Sato and the crew of the Borg-enhanced Omega — a ship fueled by transwarp technology and fraught with distrust.

No one on board trusts the Borg... and Captain Sato trusts their mysterious new passenger, bearing the face and name of James T. Kirk, even less. This so-called Kirk speaks of a dark future, but Sato refuses to be guided by fear or prophecy.

When a distress call from the Klingon Empire pierces the silence — urgent, cryptic, and unexpected — Sato doesn’t hesitate. Whatever the risk, he will answer. Because if Starfleet’s legacy is to survive, it won’t be through retreat. It’ll be through action.

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?

Ensigns Raad and Miller find themselves on a dark ship and face to face with... Klingons. The two red shirts are accused of being spies, and their captors brutalize and torture them for any information they can get on how the Romulans were able to access a Starfleet subspace antenna feed. Meanwhile, DeMatrio, Amiga, and Lanier engage in a tense starship battle with a Romulan Bird-of-Prey.

If all six remaining red shirts are going to make it off Arkonia 89 alive, someone is going to have to make a sacrifice — but for what? How many red shirts have died to ferret out the Romulans? There must be more to the story than Starfleet is letting on...
