Star Trek fans wanted Legacy, and now they’re getting that as a comic
Seven of Nine returns in a Star Trek series built for the future.
The Popverse coverage of the ComicsPRO Annual Meeting 2026 is brought to you by Lunar Distribution. Commited to Retailers. Focused on the Future of Comics.
A new Star Trek series was announced this week, calling to mind one of the most anticipated possible spinoffs in recent memory in the Star Trek universe. While synergy might say it's the same thing, it's not. But for many of us, it's close enough.
A new Star Trek ongoing series was announced during the ComicsPRO Industry Conference 2026 here in California, with Halt & Catch Fire co-creator Christopher Cantwell and artist Dennis Menheere helming the continuing adventures of Jeri Ryan's Seven of Nine, picking up after her return in Paramount+'s Star Trek: Picard series.
Seven and her own USS Enterprise-G is a storyline that Picard season 3 showrunner Terry Matalas had been openly pitching to Paramount+ in interviews, with fans dubbing it 'Star Trek: Legacy' and amassing over 65,000 signatures on a Change.org fan petition to encourage the show idea to be greenlit. While Star Trek: Legacy has yet to happen as a television series, this new comic seems to be picking up the proverbial torch.
"In building a brand new Star Trek adventure, we seek to do just that: create something brand new, something that looks entirely forward into the hope of the complete—and at times frightening—unknown, all as our ensemble of characters stands shoulder to shoulder, facing the expanse of an adventure never dared before," Cantwell tells io9's James Whitbrook. "There is an abundance of incredible mythos that Star Trek has given us over six decades, but with this launch we seek to shed that past even as we embrace its best qualities."
If you wanted Star Trek: Legacy, this comic book is for you.
Star Trek #1 will be available this October at your local comic store (and online).
Space may be the final frontier, but there's no end to Popverse's love of the Star Trek universe. Hop aboard the starship Enterprise with our Star Trek watch order, explore strange new worlds with our upcoming Star Trek TV shows and movies list, seek out the new life of the franchise, and boldly go where no Star Trek film has ever gone before - with Quentin Tarantino?
