IDW Publisher Mark Doyle added, “I have always loved Star Trek for its positive vision of the future. It’s been such a joy to watch and support the editorial and creative teams as they tell bold new stories in this universe that have really resonated with audiences old and new. From Eisner nominations to glowing fan praise, the Star Trek community has really embraced the stories we’re telling and I cannot wait for them to see where we go next!”
According to IDW, Star Trek #500 is a “massive milestone issue” that will include a prelude to the next major crossover event to the refreshed line of interconnected Star Trek comics the publisher launched in 2022, which has gone on to win the Star Trek franchise its first Eisner Awards attention (Star Trek #400 preceded that launch and had a similar story setting up Star Trek’s first comic book crossover event, ). Star Trek #500 also includes a short story co-written by Patton Oswalt and more.
IDW Publishing will release the interactive graphic novel Star Trek: Lower Decks – Warp Your Own Way in October. The Star Trek and Star Trek: Defiant ongoing series will continue for the foreseeable future, with the spinoff miniseries having recently concluded.
