IDW’s acclaimed Star Trek: Red Shirts returns for a new run next week with the release of Star Trek: Red Shirts – Ghost of the 21st Century #1, and you can get yourself a sneak peek at the issue with the official preview below…
On the Federation’s farthest frontier, red shirts don’t just die — they’re used. When conscripted security grunt Harry Deubert finds contraband hidden inside a fallen comrade’s body, he uncovers Section Null — a secret Starfleet directorate turning disposable red shirts into assets in a sprawling criminal conspiracy. Teaming with Lyna Taval, an Andorian officer with her own covert agenda, Deubert digs too deep… and becomes a target.
Someone inside Starfleet Security is selling out the Federation. And once Deubert and Taval learn what red shirts are really for, there’s no going back.
Star Trek: Red Shirts – Ghost of the 21st Century #1 is out on Wednesday, July 22nd 2026.
