Out today: “Star Trek: Sons of Star Trek #1“, by Morgan Hampton.

From the pen of acclaimed Cyborg writer Morgan Hampton comes a new four-part miniseries spinning out of IDW’s Eisner-nominated Star Trek series and fan favorite Star Trek: Defiant series! In the aftermath of Kahless’ harrowing Day of Blood, Jake Sisko struggles to find his place in the universe now that his family has been reunited and his father, Benjamin Sisko, has once again saved the galaxy. Meanwhile, Alexander Rozhenko is recovering mentally and emotionally from his time as one of Kahless’ devout followers. Though his father, Worf, was able to break him away from the Red Path cult, Alexander is haunted by his actions during the bloody coup and is unsure of his ability to atone for the devastation he caused. Jake and Alexander find their stories intertwined as they’re thrust into an alternate universe where they followed their father’s footsteps into Starfleet stardom. As officers aboard the U.S.S. Avery, Jake and Alexander encounter alternate versions of other children of Starfleet legends who show them they all may have a bit more in common than it would seem.

Out Today: “Star Trek: Day of Blood”

Out today: “Star Trek: Day of Blood“, by Christopher Cantwell.

Blood will flow in this first-ever Federation crossover event which pulls from the ongoing Star Trek space saga and the Defiant spin off graphic novel series!

As emperor of the Klingon Empire, Kahless II has consolidated power, raided ancient tombs and secret bunkers, taken the power of gods for himself, stolen the Bajoran Orb of Destruction, and has begun a slaughter across the stars.

But this genocide of gods was just the beginning. For with the power he has stolen, Kahless is about to declare war on all those who do not follow the Red Path. To prevent genocide unlike any since the ancient days of Qo’noS, the crew of icons led by the emissary known as Benjamin Sisko (Star Trek ongoing series) and the renegades who follow a desperate and violent Worf (Star Trek: Defiant) must unite for a common cause. Only they can hope to stop the DAY OF BLOOD.

Join creators Jackson Lanzing & Collin Kelly (Captain America and Guardians of the Galaxy), Christopher Cantwell (Namor and Star Wars: Obi-Wan), and Ramon Rosanas (Star Trek, Marvel’s Star Wars, and The Astonishing Ant-Man) in this monumental crossover event of epic proportions. Collects Star Trek: Day of Blood, Star Trek: Day of Blood–Shax’s Best Day, Star Trek 2023 Free Comic Book Day issue, Star Trek issues #11–12, and Star Trek: Defiant issues #6–7.

Star Trek: Resurgence

Take on the role of Jara Rydek and Carter Diaz, two crew members of the USS Resolute on a diplomatic mission to broker peace between alien factions. While attempting to prevent war, you’ll discover a far greater danger: an eons-old and powerful force that threatens to engulf the galaxy! Set soon after the events of Star Trek: The Next Generation and featuring appearances by Ambassador Spock and Captain William T. Riker (voiced by Jonathan Frakes), Star Trek: Resurgence expands on a story from season one of The Next Generation television series. Your choices will define the outcome of an adventure that has been called “The Star Trek game we needed” by Trek Central and “the best Star Trek game I’ve played in over a decade” by Gaming Trend. Created by Dramatic Labs, a new studio comprised of former members of Telltale Games, Star Trek: Resurgence is a narrative-driven adventure game that delivers all the excitement and wonder of the Star Trek universe. With immersive gameplay, and a gripping story, Star Trek: Resurgence is a must-play for any fan of the franchise.

The first real Trek release since 2022’s “Star Trek Prodigy Supernova”, this one is a walking simulator with some quick time events thrown in every now and then with a story that feels like it’s fit in during the TNG / VOY era of gaming. I think it’s specifically set after Nemesis with Captain Riker and Ambassador Spock making appearances. There’s a large number of deep cut references for TNG fans to enjoy, including a deuridium addicted first officer and a gorgeous Centaur class ship for the story to take place on.

The story is well done, but some of the graphics ranged from gorgeous to terrifyingly bad, particularly during transporter scenes in which eyeballs would materialize first, so for a few moments you’d have floating eyeballs in the matter stream. Oddly, the best scene graphically speaking is a close up of a character’s face when they’re making some hard decisions a the end of the game, and it’s the eyes that really popped out, this time in a beautiful way. The gameplay sadly got old really quick, with minimal interactions in the world around you and a completely linear environment for each scene with no opportunities to really explore the spaces. That being said, I enjoyed my time with the game, but I’m going to let it rest a while before I play it again to achievement hunt, I’m told that to get a 100% I’ll need to do at least 2 more play throughs 🙁
