It’s still Fall 2018, but IDW Publishing is looking to the future, January 2019, to be precise, by announcing its Star Trek titles for that month. StarTrek.com has details and cover art to share…

First up is Star Trek: IDW 20/20. Written by Peter David, with J.K. Woodward handling the art and cover, IDW 20/20 kicks off IDW’s year-long 20th anniversary celebration: an all-new weekly event giving a glimpse of your favorite characters 20 years into the future -- or past. In this tale, it’s 20 before Jean-Luc Picard took command of the U.S.S. Enterprise-D, and he’s sitting in the captain’s chair of the U.S.S. Stargazer. Picard served with distinction aboard the Stargazer for many years on his way to becoming the most respected captain in Starfleet, but in this early mission, Picard showed that even he is merely a man.

Up next is Star Trek vs. Transformers #5, written by John Barber & Mike Johnson, with art and cover by Philip Murphy.
