IDW Publishing’s new flagship Star Trek (2026) #1 streets Wednesday, September 23, 2026 at $4.99 (Cover A), with Christopher Cantwell writing Captain Seven of Nine aboard the USS Enterprise-G and Dennis Menheere on art/colors. Jodie Troutman letters.
Captain Seven command
TrekMovie’s early review frames the book as the comic payoff to Picard’s series-finale tease — Seven finally gets her warp command, measuring herself against prior captains while Starfleet orders the Enterprise-G beyond the four known quadrants through a hidden corridor. AIPT’s Cantwell Q&A positions the debut arc as a psychological thriller into the Epsilon Corridor / Trinity worlds, with Picard-era carryovers (Jack, Sidney “Crash” La Forge, Raffi) alongside new senior staff.

Comic Crusaders’ Sep 23 premier-publisher shelf lists Cover A (Dennis Menheere) at $4.99, plus photo, foil, blank sketch, and other variants. Soft Picard continuity only as published framing — this is the licensed comics relaunch street, not a Paramount Legacy series announce.
