The miniseries will feature Jake Sisko and Alexander Rozhenko traveling to an alternate universe.

During this weekend’s New York Comic Con, IDW announced a new four-issue miniseries with ties to their current Star Trek and Star Trek: Defiant series.

Writer Morgan Hampton and artist Angel Hernandez will tell a story about Jake Sisko and Alexander Rozhenko landing in an alternate universe, where they encounter the children of various Starfleet legends.

“Star Trek is a franchise that has rewired my DNA and provided me a sense of comfort amongst its characters and stories,” Hampton said. “I’m so excited to pour some of that energy back into this world. Angel and I are creating a story full of shock, excitement, and wonder led by characters not usually in the spotlight. Fans new and old will find that familiar Star Trek charm at the heart. It’s a dream come true to be able to add a wrinkle in the fabric of this incredible universe!”

Dawn of DC continues in May.

DC has revealed three more titles and their creative teams for their 2023 Dawn of DC publishing initiative, which Publisher Jim Lee called “one of our most ambitious initiatives ever” and “a chance for us to tell bigger and bolder stories across our line” when it was announced back in November.

Today brings news of three new titles featuring some old favorites, all of which will kick off in May:

  • Titans by Tom Taylor and Nicola Scott, which is not surprising given the end of Nightwing #100 earlier this month
  • Green Lantern by Jeremy Adams and Xermánico, which will feature a main story focus on Hal Jordan, with a back-up by Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Osvaldo Montos focusing on John Stewart.
