There are three new comic releases today, including a celebration of the 60th Anniversary of Star Trek, thanks to a week-long delay due to an unfortunate traffic accident.
Star Trek 60th Anniversary Special
This 10-story special one-shot was original due to come out last week, on September 2nd. Unfortunately, there was an accident involving the truck delivering the issues to distributors. Thankfully, there were reportedly no injuries, but it did mean a one-week delay in the delivery of this special celebration.
The collection features stories from various creators from both within the Star Trek universe and from the wider comics community. Writers such as Brian Michael Bendis, David Gerrold, Dana Gould, and Mike McMahan lend their voices to ten stories from across the entire history of the Star Trek universe!

Official synopsis:Harry Deubert wasn’t always an “upstanding” member of the Federation. Once upon a time, he was a thief. And a damn good one. Today, he’s a haunted man, spiraling—and all it takes is one good drink and the ripped-open body of his buddy, stuffed with contraband, for him to decide his life as an indentured servant to Section Null is over.
He’s gonna blow whatever this cadaver conspiracy is wide open. Step one? Confronting Chief Officer Miller.

Dr. M’Benga’s daughter, Rukiya, has always loved a good bedtime story—especially if that story contains a raven, a beating heart beneath the floorboards, or a deadly plague. But now, on what seems like a night like any other, she’s whisked away by the very fantasies she once delighted in. It’s up to her loving father to beat back the dark and rescue her from a dream within a dream…
