This May, IDW will release Star Trek Annual 1, uniting every past series captain, including crewmembers from the Kelvin Timeline.
A new Star Trek special will bring together a number of franchise icons, such as Captains Picard, Kirk, Sisko, Janeway and Pike. This May, IDW Publishing will release Star Trek Annual #1, which spins out of the current flagship book, also titled Star Trek. In a first look at the cover, Captain Sisko is besieged by holograms resembling icons from across the Star Trek universe, including Picard, Pike and even characters from the Kelvin universe.
Star Trek co-writer Jackson Lanzing unveiled the cover to the annual in a post to Twitter. The cover, drawn by Rachael Stott, features Captain Benjamin Sisko, the protagonist of the new Star Trek comic, on what is clearly the Holodeck, being chased by holographic recreations of every captain who headlined a Trek show, including Jean-Luc Picard, James Kirk, Kathryn Janeway, Christopher Pike and Jonathan Archer.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Appropriately, Lanzing reveals the story’s title to be “The Photonic Man” and described it as “the mother of all Holodeck adventures.” Lanzing promised the annual would fulfill the cover’s promise and feature characters from across the Star Trek universe. IDW's Star Trek Comics Are Firing on All Thrusters This spring’s Star Trek Annual continues IDW’s renewed commitment to its line of comics inspired by the franchise, an initiative that began with last year’s Star Trek #400 and continued in a new series, launched last fall, that has seen Captain Benjamin Sisko and a crew of Starfleet’s best take on a powerful force which is slaughtering god-like beings.
The Annual Puts a Spin on a Classic Star Trek Trope Stott’s cover also continues a general trend in the franchise: episodes centered around Holodeck malfunctions. Many classic episodes have featured Holodeck mishaps as plot points, to the point where it almost became a cliché. Newer Trek shows have avoided this trope, but it remains synonymous with the franchise.
