At this past weekend’s Destination Star Trek Birmingham convention in England, Star Trek comic publisher IDW announced the next Discovery graphic adventure, coming in February: Captain Saru.
With cover art by Paul Shipper, who shared the preview image on his social media feed as the announcement was being made at DST Birmingham, the 42-page ‘one-shot’ comic comes from ongoing Discovery comic writers Kirsten Beyer and Mike Johnson. The tale will also feature interior artwork from longtime IDW illustrator Angel Hernandez.
The exact details of the story aren’t yet known — though based on the title alone, it’s likely to be set sometime between the Discovery crew’s return from the Mirror Universe in Season 1, and before the ship’s encounter with Captain Pike and the Enterprise which kicks off the upcoming Season 2 storyline.
We’ll bring you more on this upcoming comic, including finalized cover artwork and story synopsis, as it becomes available — and watch for our review when Star Trek: Discovery — Captain Saru beams down in February 2019!
