SEPTEMBER 22, 2022 - Star Trek: Strange New Worlds fans certainly went on a ride in season one. In addition to the return of an episodic format, we saw our heroes’ rise, fall, and redemption. Just when our stalwart Captain Pike came to terms with his future and decided to move forward ‘boldly’, we were left with the arrest of Number One for her genetic modifications.

It’s still going to be a long wait for season two to land back on our streaming devices, however, the creative team at IDW Publishing has something special in store for us that will not only hold us over but help us get the answers we seek. A new comic, The Illyrian Enigma, will see Pike on a crusade to prove Una’s innocence.

The creative team consists of Kristen Beyer and Mike Johnson who will write the series and will be joined by artist Megan Levens. The team has been responsible for the previous tie-in comics with the Trek series.Here is the official announcement for the upcoming books:

Journey to new reaches in this exclusive comic tie-in set between seasons one and two of fan-favorite Paramount+ series Strange New Worlds! With Una accused of unlawful genetic modification by Starfleet, Captain Pike sets out in search of evidence that could prove her innocence.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds – The Illyrian Enigma will be in shops on December 21, 2022. For more information, set a course over to ComicBook.com and read more.
