There’s an argument that can be made that the last few years of the Star Trek fandom are some of its best or at least some of it’s most diverse. The year began with five ongoing shows streaming, sadly two were/ will be their last season and one was unexpectedly ended. But never fear Trek fans shows aren’t the only place you can fine a variety of new Trekkie goodness to fill your needs. IDW is bringing Trek comics back to the forefront with plenty of tales for fans of all generations with all of our favorite characters. Here’s a highlight of all the Trek books on shelves now/ coming soon.

Federation starships aren’t run by a party of one, after all. Series Starts 9/13
