Star Trek: Sons of Star Trek sees Jake Sisko, the son of recently returned Benjamin Sisko, feeling unmoored in the aftermath of the Day of Blood. At the same time, Alexander Rozhenko, son of Worf, is recovering from his indoctrination by Klingon Emperor Kahless II and subsequent death and resurrection while reckoning with his actions on behalf of the Red Path.
Their paths become entangled when they find themselves in an alternate universe where they both follow more explicitly in their fathers’ footsteps, each joining Starfleet and serving aboard the U.S.S. Burton. During their time in that universe, they meet other offspring of Star Trek characters, including, based on the cover, both Nog and Q Junior. Could Jean-Luc Picard and Beverly Crusher’s recently revealed son, Jack, make his comic book debut?
“Star Trek is a franchise that has rewired my DNA and provided me a sense of comfort amongst its characters and stories,” said Morgan Hampton in a statement. “I’m so excited to pour some of that energy back into this world. Angel and I are creating a story full of shock, excitement, and wonder led by characters not usually in the spotlight. Fans new and old will find that familiar Star Trek charm at the heart. It’s a dream come true to be able to add a wrinkle in the fabric of this incredible universe!”
“Having the possibility of creating everything practically from scratch is an exciting challenge,” adds Angel Hernandez. “Defining new personalities and making the characters face completely new situations is incredible. It’s all new but it’s all Trek.”
