Star Trek: Defiant

Star Trek is a ongoing comic series from IDW Publishing that ran from March 2023 to May 2025 as a spin-off companion series to Star Trek. Set between Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek Nemesis, it details Worf being forced to lead a crew on black-ops missions for the Federation.

Summary

Blurb

A brand-new series comes spinning directly out of the hit Star Trek comic book!

Someone is killing the gods. But Benjamin Sisko's Prophets-guided dealings of the higher cosmos has led him to forget about the very real casualties on lower ground.

The enemy is a MAN, not a god. And Worf of House Martok has put together his own crew aboard the USS Defiant in hopes of defeating the dangerous messiah behind this genocidal cult.

The Dirty Dozen meets Star Trek in this new series from the creative mind of Chris Cantwell (Iron Man, Namor, Star Wars: Obi-Wan) and drawn by Angel Unzueta (Iron Man, Star Wars: Poe Dameron, the Flash)! Star Trek: Defiant is the first expansion of IDW's exciting new Star Trek initiative that started with the 400th issue and carries on into a bold new storytelling future!
