IDW have released their solicitations for April, which include two new Star Trek comics, plus an omnibus book. Continue below for all the details, on those, and other Star Trek comic updates.

The big news is start of IDW's second Discovery miniseries:

Succession #1

In this, the second Discovery miniseries from IDW Publishing, your favorite characters from the hit CBS All Access series dive into an adventure tied directly into the second half of the first season! 
If the blurb wasn't hinting clearly enough, editor Sarah Gaydos has confirmed this is a mirror universe story.

This first issue will come in at least four covers, with the A cover by issue artist Angel Hernandez, and a photo B cover. George Caltsoudas will also be providing a variant cover, and Declan Shalvey and Jordie Bellaire will be continuing their ships of the line cover series from the first Discovery miniseries into this series too.

Discovery: The Light of Kahless #2 preview

Out this week is the issue two of the first Star Trek: Discovery comic series, The Light of Kahless. Picking up a few years after the previous issue, the book continues to dig deep into the history of the Klingon messiah, T'Kuvma.

The book is written by Kirsten Beyer and Mike Johnson, with art from Tony Shasteen, who also provides the A cover featuring Voq. Three other covers are available, with the B cover being a photo of L'Rel. The remaining covers are retail incentive, with tattoo-esque T'Kuvma design by Aaron Harvey, and the second of Declan Shavley, and Jordie Bellaire (colours)'s ship covers for the series, this time featuring the most appropriate ship to adorn this Klingon series, the Sarcophagus ship.

You can check out all the covers and a five page preview from this issue below, plus a couple of other bits of new from the series.

Discovery ships come to Star Trek Online

Star Trek Online introduced uniforms from Star Trek Discovery to the game as soon as the series began, but players have had to wait until now to enjoy the first new ships becoming playable. Available from today, the Discovery Lock Box introduces several key ships from the series, plus some new costumes and equipment. Continue below for the details.

The top prize for Federation players from this lock box is the Crossfield class (USS Discovery), which STO has designated a "science vanguard".

Fanset's latest Discovery Episode Pins, and DS9 and Voyager character designs

FanSets have got up to speed with their Discovery Episode Pins, with the reveal of three new pins based on the most recent episodes. But that's not all, they've also released and previewed several new DS9 and Voyager pins. Continue below to check them all out:

The latest batch of Episode Pins, previewed by StarTrek.com, start with Into the Forest I Go, which wasn't included in the first chapter block of releases due to the mid-season break being shifted an episode later. This busy design features Kol and Burnham, with the Discovery and the Sarcophagus ship doing battle behind them, and Captain Georgiou's insignia badge and a mak'leth in front of them!


New images from Discovery #12: Vaulting Ambition

Ahead of the release of the next episode of Discovery, episode twelve: Vaulting Ambition, CBS have released a batch of stills. A very golden collection of images, most of them feature Emperor Georgiou and here magnificent golden coat, sword, and remarkable heels! There's also plenty of Burnham, and Lorca, and a little Tilly, Saru, and Stamets too. Continue below to check them out.

We've also got the name of the Emperor's ship via a new blurb for the episode:
Burnham heads to the ISS Charon with a special 'gift' for the Emperor. With the help of an unexpected source, Stamets gains clarity while trapped inside the mycelial network. Saru asks for L'Rell's help.

Ship bits: DST Reliant, Eaglemoss concept Enterprise-C, and Moebius Franklin

I've got a few different starship models updates today, including new images of Eaglemoss' concept art Enterprise-C, and an update on Moebius Models' USS Franklin.

But first, something we've been waiting for a long time... We have our first look at Diamond Select Toys' next Starships Legends release, the USS Reliant.


The Reliant is the next ship in DST's range of models with lights and sounds, and was announced almost two years ago now. Since then we've not had so much as a tease, and we still don't know when it's actually coming! This image is a "resin prototype" (which doesn't fill one with hope at an imminent release!), and was revealed by the Facebook page of The Toys That Made Us, a new Netflix documentary series about toys, which has a Star Trek episode coming up later in the year.

Discovery 1x12: Vaulting Ambition preview

CBS have released a trailer for the next episode of Discovery, Vaulting Ambition, giving us a good look at a certain Emperor in action. Continue below to check it out in detail, plus all the latest stills and clips from the previous episode:

Voyager: Architects of Infinity cover, and other new Trek-novel covers

With a thin release schedule of Star Trek novels this year (due to a still pending license renewal), there aren't so many book cover reveals lately. So this should be exciting day! Simon and Schuster have now released the cover for the next book in Kirsten Beyer's Voyager relaunch series, Architects of Infinity. The cover features Voyager and a Vesta class ship (presumably the USS Vesta) both firing off phasers and torpedoes!
