It All Comes Down to This! Star Trek: Omega is Out Today

Star Trek: Omega #1
Star Trek & Star Trek: Defiant Finale


After over 60 interconnected issues between Star Trek, Star Trek: Defiant, and the various crossovers and spin-offs, the ongoing adventures of Sisko and his crew, and Worf and his crew, are coming to an end.

Sisko has led the good guys to victory over Lore and his twisted version of reality. But what comes next? In this issue that wraps up the ongoing storylines from IDW since 2022, Star Trek: Omega attempts to answer that question.

Official synopsis:
Two and a half years of comics spanning 60 years of Star Trek history, a fair few awards, and more than a few universe detonations, and it’s all been coming to this… Star Trek: Omega is the denouement of the critically acclaimed Star Trek and Star Trek: Defiant storylines, and the first glimpse at all that comes next. The crews of the Theseus, Defiant, and Enterprise set to work restoring the universe to what it should be after the evil android Lore’s intervention. Each hero finds their peace in preordained or unexpected ways, with individual scenes depicted by one of Star Trek’s or Defiant’s mainline artists! This finale pays tribute to all those involved in the series Screen Rant calls “the gold standard for ambitious comic book storytelling.”

Official synopsis:
In a moment of mother-daughter bonding, Captain Freeman continues the story of how she was once a nobody screw-up just like Mariner!
Where she last left off, Dr. Katherine Pulaski had taken the helm of the U.S.S. Illinois in its clash with a Romulan warbird — but, as feared, Pulaski's brilliant track record of crashing spacecraft isn't doing her any favors in the encounter. Freeman and Durango are called upon to save the day. If the crew is to survive, the two ensigns need to rise to the challenge of command, and fast.

Out Today: It Rhymes With Takei!

It Rhymes With Takei
by George Takei, Steven Scott, & Justin Eisinger
Art by Harmony Becker


George Takei has teamed up with his writing partners for They Called Us Enemy for a new graphic novel. Autobiographical in nature, It Rhymes With Takei tells George's life story coming to terms with his sexuality, and his journey over the past 8 decades learning about himself and teaching the world about what it means to be a gay man.

It Rhymes With Takei is out today! 

Check out the back-cover blurb and links to purchase from Amazon below.









Publisher's description:
Following the award-winning bestseller They Called Us Enemy, George Takei’s new full-color graphic memoir reveals his most personal story of all—told in full for the first time anywhere! George Takei has shown the world many faces: actor, author, outspoken activist, helmsman of the starship Enterprise, living witness to the internment of Japanese Americans, and king of social media. But until October 27, 2005, there was always one piece missing—one face he did not show the world. There was one very intimate fact about George that he never shared…and it rhymes with Takei. Now, for the first time ever, George shares the full story of his life in the closet, his decision to come out as gay at the age of 68, and the way that moment transformed everything. Following the phenomenal success of his first graphic memoir, They Called Us Enemy, George Takei reunites with the team of Harmony Becker, Steven Scott, and Justin Eisinger for a jaw-dropping new testament. From his earliest childhood crushes and youthful experiments in the rigidly conformist 1950s, to global fame as an actor and the terrible fear of exposure, to the watershed moment of speaking his truth and becoming one of the most high-profile gay men on the planet, It Rhymes with Takei offers a sweeping portrait of one iconic American navigating the tides of LGBTQ+ history. Combining historical context with intimate subjectivity, It Rhymes with Takei shows how the personal and the political have always been intertwined. Its richly emotional words and images depict the terror of entrapment even in gay community spaces, the anguish of speaking up for so many issues while remaining silent on his most personal issue, the grief of losing friends to AIDS, the joy of finding true love with Brad Altman, and the determination to declare that love openly—and legally—before the whole world. Looking back on his astonishing life on both sides of the closet door, George Takei presents a charismatic and candid account of how far America has come…and how precious that progress is.
