Star Trek: The Kelvin Era Collection Arrives November 17
A new Star Trek collection revisits the Kelvin Timeline, the world introduced by the 2009 film.
The paperback brings together three comic stories: the film prequel Star Trek: Countdown, Star Trek: Nero and an adaptation of the movie.
The collection expands on the film’s story, including Nero’s origins and the events around him.
It also retells the movie and includes work by some of its screenwriters, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci.
It is a comics return, not a live-action comeback, and the original actors will not reprise their roles.
The 344-page paperback goes on sale November 17, 2026, priced at $13.99.
