IDW Publishing is kicking off a whole new chapter of Star Trek: Voyager, and fans will barely have to wait a week to dive into it for themselves.

IDW Publishing's upcoming Star Trek: Voyager - Homecoming #1 from writers Susan and Tilly Bridges and artist Ángel Hernandez is officially set to make its way into comic book stores everywhere next week. The first issue of Star Trek: Voyager - Homecoming will be available on September 3, giving readers plenty of time to catch up on the original series' most important moments before it arrives.

Star Trek: Voyager - Homecoming #1 stands as the first of five issues in a new limited series that will pick up shortly after the events of the original 1995 television series. Per the official synopsis for Star Trek: Voyager - Homecoming from IDW, "Voyager has just returned to Earth. Everyone is looking forward to reuniting with their friends and family after the crucibles they've faced — but there is a deadly secret in store, one that takes the crew far from home. Voyager delves back into the breach, all those aboard determined to make it back to their loved ones no matter what, even if there's hell to pay."

When the series was announced back in May, IDW Publishing editor Heather Anto discussed artist David Nakayama's stunning variant cover art for the first issue of Star Trek: Voyager - Homecoming, which prominently features Jeri Ryan's iconic Seven of Nine. "Seeing David Nakayama bring Janeway and Seven of Nine to life like this is an absolute thrill," Anto said at the time. "His cover for Star Trek: Voyager – Homecoming perfectly captures the legacy of these iconic characters. This is Voyager like you've never seen it before, and I couldn’t be more excited for fans to join us on this bold new journey."

Star Trek: Voyager - Homecoming is just one of several new Star Trek comic book series from IDW Publishing this year. In July, the first issue of Star Trek: Red Shirts from writer Christopher Cantwell and artist Megan Levens was released, giving readers a more gruesome kind of Star Trek story than they have grown accustomed to over the franchise's decades-long history. Writer Robbie Thompson and artist Travis Mercer have also teamed up to bring readers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - The Seeds of Destruction, which will see USS Enterprise nurse Christine Chapel embark upon a mission unlike any she could have imagined.
