Take a look at Paulina Ganucheau’s gorgeous cover for Star Trek: Celebrations #1 below:
“What is Star Trek, if not the idea of celebrating the best of us, right?” says Star Trek editor Heather Antos. “The best of humanity, and coming together. There’s a really great quote from Gene Roddenberry that that’s the future he wants to see: a future where we are all not just tolerating one another, but celebrating one another.”
“That is the intention behind Celebrations, and where we get the title from. It’s wanting to celebrate the badasses of the Star Trek universe, whether that’s Culber and Stamets, whether that’s Mariner, whether that’s Seven and Raffi… there’s so many characters that we’re going to get to see explored here by some incredible, incredible writers.”
Grab your copy of Star Trek: Celebrations on May 29th, 2024 from IDW Comics.
