Seven of Nine Commands Enterprise-G in Bold New Star Trek #1 from IDW

IDW Publishing just dropped its September 2026 solicitations, and a truly surprising new Star Trek #1 from Christopher Cantwell and Dennis Menheere leads the charge. This isn't just another Starfleet adventure; it's an all-new flagship series. Fans will be thrilled: Captain Seven of Nine takes the helm of the Enterprise-G, venturing beyond the known Galaxy on a desperate mission. Expect a prestige, mystery-driven psychological thriller packed with new worlds and existential threats, focusing on Seven, Jack, and Crash La Forge. This is a bold, significant leap for the Trek universe at IDW.

But the Starfleet action doesn't stop with a new flagship. Alex Segura and Bailie Rosenlund dive into a Deep Space 9 Halloween mini-series, Holo-Ween II. This locked-station thriller plunges Worf, Dax, Odo, and Bashir into chaos amid a diplomatic summit and unsettling incidents. Plus, classic Trek fans can look forward to new trade paperbacks like The Last Starship Vol. 1 and various Lower Decks collections.

Beyond the final frontier, IDW is rolling out more exciting new series. Stephanie Williams and Pablo M. Collar adapt the critically acclaimed "Smile" film franchise into "Smile: Any Given Smile #1," a horror story of a football championship gone wrong, tangled with gambling underworld drama and a mind-bending entity. Amy Chase and Savanna Mayer launch "Fixation #1," a true-crime thriller dissecting toxic fandom and murder at an iconic film location. And for fans of classic action, Andrew Joustra and Louie Joyce bring a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, "Coastal Chaos #1," sending the Turtles to the Jersey Shore for a monstrous hunt.
