IDW Publishing introduces a legendary Klingon in Star Trek aliens

IDW Publishing is bringing the Star Trek aliens to its pages

Since 1999 IDW Publishing has been delivering stand-out comic books with more than 80 of its titles appearing on The New York Times Best Sellers list. Another 48 have won Eisner Awards, which is the highest honor in comic book publishing, and 27 titles have won Harvey Awards. So, suffice it to say, IDW knows what it’s doing when it comes to publishing comic books which is why its upcoming series on the aliens of Star Trek should be especially exciting to Star Trek fans.

With Star Trek aliens being the publisher’s first foray into books fully focused on some of the best species in the franchise lore, it’s only fitting that the ultimate Klingon Kahless helms the first story. According to GamesRadar, the newest comic book will focus on the greatest warrior of the Klingon Empire as it tells Kahless the Unforgettable’s story “from the death of his coward brother Morath to his victory at Three Turn Bridge.”

Kahless launches the first of in many comic books that highlight the aliens encountered in Star Trek. Coming up next is Star Trek Ferengi in April, and editor Heather Antos revealed in a statement that it was exciting to delve into their worlds.

"“There is no Star Trek without the vast population of alien species calling the universe home. From Klingons to Ferengi, Vulcans to Trill and beyond, it’s so exciting to delve deep into what makes each of the species a unique addition to the world of Trek, Mirrorverse, or otherwise!”"

Kahless’ story is written by  Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly, known for the publisher’s Star Trek: Year Five series, and illustrated by Timothy Green II. Lanzing shares his excitement at the release of the upcoming feature.

"“I was, in large part, raised by Star Trek… and no culture helped me come to terms with my masculinity, my anger, and my personal code of honor more than the Klingons. So when I tell you the only thing more exciting to me than taking the Enterprise crew on their final journey in Star Trek: Year Five is getting to show the man behind the myth of Kahless The Unforgettable, you can believe it.”"
