A Lovecraftian horror awaits the crew of the Enterprise as IDW Publishing launches Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – The Seeds of Salvation, a new limited series from Strange New Worlds season 4 writer Robbie Thompson and Star Trek knockout artist Travis Mercer, and you can get yourself a sneak peek at the first issue below with the official preview…
After plodding through uneventful mission after uneventful mission, Christine Chapel is itching for a real adventure. So, when an opportunity to reunite with her old scientist friend Jinare for research on the planet Poilant crops up, Chapel is excited to finally do what Starfleet does best: explore strange new worlds. However, when the Enterprise arrives in Poilant’s space, the crew cannot get into contact with Jinare or any of her researchers. Chapel, Una, Spock, La’An, and Scotty beam down, and they are greeted by… nothing… no one… and no signs of what caused their disappearance, only a robot named D6 who urges them to descend into the planet’s depths in search of his friends. But there’s more than scientists lurking in the watery abyss. Ancient life-forms and behemoths await — and they might mean more adventure than even Chapel can handle.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – The Seeds of Salvation #1 is out on Wednesday, August 27th 2025.
