After announcing a run of alien species one-shot Star Trek comics last month, IDW Publishing today shared news of another mini-series from the final frontier — this time focused around the super-futuristic world of Star Trek: Discovery.

Star Trek: Discovery — Adventures in the 32nd Century will be a four-issue mini-series shining the spotlight on four members of the USS Discovery crew; the first issue will focus on Cleveland Booker’s cat Grudge with subsequent tales centered around helm officer Keyla Detmer, science Saurian Linus, and newly-minted Ensign Adira Tal.

The publisher also released the first artwork from the upcoming series today, a pair of covers to Grudge’s feature issue by artists Angel Hernandez and Aaron Harvey.

Here’s the official announcement from IDW:

IDW’s New Star Trek: Discovery Comic Book Series Spotlights a Crew Marooned in the Distant Future — Kirsten Beyer and Mike Johnson, Key Architects of Star Trek Lore in Television and Comics, Reunite for Adventures in the 32nd Century

SAN DIEGO, CA (December 20, 2021) – Comic book and graphic novel publisher IDW today announces that The United Federation of Planet’s far-flung future will be further explored in a new four-issue miniseries, Star Trek: Discovery – Adventures in the 32nd Century, based on the wildly popular series streaming on Paramount Plus.

The new series reunites co-writers Kirsten Beyer and Mike Johnson, whose previous collaboration on Star Trek: Discovery comics included The Light of Kahless, Succession, and Aftermath. The authors are joined by artist Angel Hernandez, celebrated by fans for his work on Star Trek / Green Lantern: The Spectrum War and, most recently, Star Trek: Manifest Destiny.

Each issue of Adventures in the 32nd Century will spotlight a different cast member, and the first issue’s focus promises a unique perspective from the Star Trek franchise as it reveals the secret history of the queen herself: Grudge the Cat! A flashback tale of her first meeting with Cleveland “Book” Booker sets the stage for a trajectory establishing Grudge as the greatest feline spacefarer of all. Subsequent issues will focus on ensign Adira Tal, Lieutenant Keyla Detmer, and science officer Linus.

“Discovery’s arrival in the 32nd century opens up a whole new universe of adventure for the crew, from the feline to the Saurian. It’s a blast telling stories eight hundred years in the future of Star Trek, where we really have never been before, exploring different facets of their lives,” says Johnson.

“It’s no secret that Star Trek: Discovery’s television series has an amazing cast of characters, and being able to translate those characters and their stories into the comics is a real treat for not only the fans, but also us as well,” says editor Heather Antos. “Diving deeper into Queen Grudge’s mind, to Adira’s relationship with Gray and more, Star Trek: Discovery – Adventures in the 32nd Century gives readers an incredibly detailed perspective of these fan favorite characters.”

Star Trek: Discovery – Adventures in the 32nd Century will be available with two cover variants for retailers and fans to enjoy, including Cover A by interior artist Angel Hernandez and a Retailer Incentive edition by Aaron Harvey.

IDW didn’t announce a specific release date for the beginning of this comic series, but it’s probably safe to assume we’ll see Star Trek: Discovery — Adventures in the 32nd Century in the first half of 2022.
