While all of this year’s in-person Star Trek: Voyager celebrations have been tentatively postponed or cancelled, this fall, the print world is doing its part to give the fourth live-action Trek series its due for it’s silver anniversary!
Starting in November, a one-two punch of in-universe comic storytelling and in-depth behind-the-scenes insight comes from IDW Publishing and Hero Collector, beginning with a four-issue comic series set during the show’s fourth season.
Star Trek: Voyager — Seven’s Reckoning tells a new tale set in 2374, just after Seven of Nine joined the crew in “Scorpion, Part II” and “The Gift,” in the earliest days of her journey into humanity after being liberated from the Borg.
Here’s the announcement from IDW:
The Humanity of Voyager’s Beloved Borg Survivor is
Put to the Test in ‘Seven’s Reckoning’‘Seven’s Reckoning’ opens with the USS Voyager encountering a damaged alien ship deep in the Delta Quadrant. What at first seems to be a simple repair mission becomes much more complicated for Seven of Nine as she becomes ensnared by an ancient conflict, one that puts her newfound humanity to the test.
“As a lifelong ‘Star Trek’ fan, being able to play my small part in advancing the ideals of a better tomorrow means the world to me,” says Baker. “This plays directly into why I wanted to write the book to begin with. To put it simply, the stories we tell one another matter… and the stories we tell ourselves matter most of all.”
“After the amazing response to our ‘Voyager’ one-shot set in the Mirror Universe, we’re thrilled to return to the Delta Quadrant for a full four issues,” says editor Chase Marotz. “Dave Baker is a talented writer and huge ‘Trek’ fan with a great understanding of the characters. Angel Hernandez, who has wowed fans with his work on ‘Star Trek / Green Lantern’ and ‘Picard — Countdown,’ keeps getting better and better, and Ronda Pattison will bring her unique palette to an all-new alien species that we think fans are going to love. We have a great crew and can’t wait for people to see where we’re going!”
Seven’s Reckoning is a four-issue monthly comic book miniseries written by Dave Baker (Star Trek: Waypoint, Action Hospital), illustrated by Angel Hernandez (Star Trek: Picard — Countdown, Transformers), and colored by Ronda Pattison (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).
The first issue, Star Trek: Voyager – Seven’s Reckoning #1, will be available in November with multiple cover variants, including Cover A by Angel Hernandez, Cover B featuring a cast photo of Seven of Nine as portrayed by Jeri Ryan, and a Retailer Incentive edition by Jeffrey Veregge (G.I. Joe, Red Wolf).
Following the comic launch is the November 17 arrival of Star Trek: Voyager — A Celebration, an all-new hardcover from our friend Ben Robinson over at Hero Collector, with in-depth insight into the creation of the series, along with production secrets that brought the show to life and a number of new interviews from the cast and creative team behind the Voyager story.
Here’s the official synopsis:
STAR TREK: VOYAGER was groundbreaking. It was the first STAR TREK show with a female captain and had the franchise’s most diverse cast. It pushed the boundaries of visual effects and makeup further than ever before, and literally took the show into new territory when Voyager was stranded in the Delta Quadrant, home of the Borg Collective.
STAR TREK: VOYAGER – A CELEBRATION tells the behind-the-scenes story of Voyager’s epic journey, from its earliest origins and pivotal episodes to in- depth features on writing, directing, visual effects, production art and more.
This is the ultimate guide to the making of a television classic. It is based on more than 30 new interviews, featuring the nine principal cast members, including Kate Mulgrew, Jeri Ryan, and Robert Picardo, and key behind-the-scenes personnel who reveal the stories and secrets behind the show.
STAR TREK: VOYAGER first appeared on TV on 16 January 1995, running for 172 episodes over seven seasons. Charting the adventures of the 24th Century Starfleet Vessel U.S.S. Voyager, this multi award-winning series followed the starship and its crew to the distant side of the galaxy. Celebrating 25 years since its first broadcast episode, this book explores the very best of STAR TREK: VOYAGER, with chapters looking at the greatest episodes, alien characters, visual effects, hair and makeup, costumes and guest stars. Plus the actors talk of their memories of the show, and recall their personal highlights over its six-and-a-half year run.
There are also a few preview pages of this 216-page hardcover, thanks to online retailer listings.
Star Trek: Voyager — A Celebration will arrive on November 17, and is available for preorder now. Watch for more coverage of this anniversary publication as we get close to the release date!
