This week IDW’s ongoing Star Trek series begins the brand new 6-issue “Pleroma” storyline. The new arc delves into the issues of divinity that have arisen since Sisko’s return from the celestial temple. Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing co-write the series with art by Megan Levens (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Starsigns). We have covers and a preview of issue 19.
Star Trek #19
Synopsis:
Benjamin Sisko has begun imagining an end to his journey and is looking forward to establishing a normal, human life. But unfortunately for Captain Sisko, his next test has been a member of his crew this whole time…
T’Lir, the crew’s former science officer, has returned to the U.S.S. Theseus bridge with a shocking revelation and a plea. Kahless’ attempted war with the gods has altered the very fabric of spacetime, threatening the destruction of several godlike species. Already, anomalies are beginning to form across the galaxy. Their only hope: the Emissary of the Prophets, Benjamin Sisko, and his valiant crew of Starfleet’s finest.

Don’t give Terry Matalas any ideas, the first season of the Picard spinoff would feature the Organians, Douwd, and Metrons, oh my!
the Titan book that followed up on the Douwd / Husnock story was great. I wish they would just adapt the already great stories that have in the books, but that would be too easy and make too much sense….
I’d personally be okay with that haha.
Is that Nicholas Cage!? Looks like Nicholas Cage.

Exactly.
100% had to check that I was on a Trek site when I first saw that headline and image. I thought…that looks nothing like Jimmy Smitts
