May 19, 2026byadmin

This September heralds the 60th anniversary of *Star Trek*, a momentous occasion celebrated with the launch of *Star Trek: The 60th Anniversary Special*, a large one-shot comic book arriving in stores on September 2. This 68-page compilation, brought to life by Paramount and IDW, showcases contributions from a remarkable roster of writers, including David Gerrold, renowned for his work on the original television series and for inventing the beloved Tribbles.

The comic presents a varied collection of tales that pay tribute to the *Star Trek* heritage. Among those contributing are comic book icon Brian Michael Bendis, acclaimed for co-creating Miles Morales; Mike McMahan, the showrunner of *Lower Decks*; Ryan North, known for *Squirrel Girl* and *Lost in Random*; and comedian Dana Gould. Each author injects their distinctive style into the anthology, broadening the *Star Trek* universe through different narratives.

David Gerrold’s participation is especially noteworthy as he is among the few remaining writers from the original series. His story focuses on Harry Mudd, the notorious trickster from the *Star Trek* universe. Gerrold reflects on the lasting impact of *Star Trek* by stating, “The reason why *Star Trek* has been an enduring part of our culture is that at its heart, *Star Trek* has never been about finding enemies to defeat; it was always about finding allies and friends against the vast darkness of the universe.” His views emphasize the show’s overarching themes of unity and camaraderie, which have struck a chord with audiences for sixty years.

In addition to Gerrold’s narrative, the anthology promises a selection of captivating content. Readers can anticipate a one-page humor piece featuring the *Enterprise*, a story about Scotty by Gould, a *Next Generation*-era tale centering on Beverly Crusher, and a tie-in narrative from Starfleet Academy. The special will also provide a glimpse of upcoming *Star Trek* comics from IDW, ensuring that fans have even more to be excited about in the *Star Trek* cosmos.

As part of a year-long tribute to this cherished sci-fi series, *Star Trek: The 60th Anniversary Special* not only honors its legacy but also sets the stage for future tales, reinforcing *Star Trek*’s significance in the hearts of fans and its impact on popular culture.

Wartales DLC Expansion to Introduce a Complex, Interactive Capital City for Players to Save or Destroy

Sordid, flesh-eating medieval tactics RPG Wartales is getting a new Fires in the Capital DLC expansion in April. It adds a wartorn metropolis to the game – Isandrin, crown jewel of Edoran and home of the Legion. As such, it’s a departure from the mucky outland gigwork you may be accustomed to, offering what Shiro game director Quentin Lapeyre calls “a dense, reactive capital, where the Chaos system ensures that every decision can impact the entire city”.

As the boss murderer of a troupe of thugs, you are under no obligation to save Isandrin from escalating factional tensions. You can work to restore order, or you can hasten the proud burg’s demise, with dastardly methods ranging from the shanking of bandits to outbreaks of public singing. How horrible!
