IDW is releasing a one shot comic book titled ‘Star Trek: Celebrations’ on May 29 just in time for Pride Month in June. The anthology has five brand-new stories celebrating LGBTQIA+ characters from across the Star Trek universe. Today TrekMovie has an exclusive first look at the artwork for pages from three of those stories.
From the Lower Decks story
The first story in Celebrations focuses on Mariner and Jennifer from Star Trek: Lower Decks, written by Hannah Rose May with art by Jack Lawrence. We have three inked pages.
From the Kelvin Universe story
The fourth story in Celebrations focuses on Kelvin Universe Sulu, written by Steve Olrando with art by Denny More. We have three colored pages.
From the Discovery story
The fifth story focuses on Jett Reno, Paul Stamets, and Hugh Culber from Star Trek: Discovery, written by Stephanie Williams with art by Denny Minonne. We have three inked pages.
Celebrations also includes a story focused on Christine Chapel from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, written by Mags Visaggio with art by Trench. And there is also a story focused on Seven and Raffi from Star Trek: Picard, written by Vita Ayala with art by Liana Kangas.
Here is the official synopsis for Celebrations:
And here is the cover by artist Paulina Ganucheau…

It’s amazing how many LGBT people are on Star Trek now. Love it.
Yeah, but unfortunately, the cover is missing the very first one: Jadzia Dax.
The cover is “missing” a character that doesn’t seem to be appearing in the comic? I don’t think it’s a problem NOT to falsely advertise her appearance. I’m hopeful they’ll do more of these in the future and include her.
Great art all around! Looking forward to it.
I know I shouldn’t be objectifying shirtless cartoon Sulu, but holy.
Yeah, they made him look ripped.
George looked like that in the original ep ‘naked time’
One can appreciate without objectification. We know he’s a upstanding officer and husband, he can be fit as well ;)
Happy birthday to O G ‘hikaru sulu’
So excited for this I preordered the regular cover and the variant with Mariner and Jennifer! I hope they do this again next year. I love the DC Pride collection that comes out every year and the Star Wars Pride covers… Love to see Trek continue to expand this kind of anthology and include more characters as well (like Jadzia Dax.)
