Star Trek's Alien Spotlight is a series of one-shot issues telling tales of the Star Trek iconic alien species. Star Trek: Klingons kicked things off in February. Star Trek: Ferengi followed in April.

"There is no Star Trek without the vast population of alien species calling the universe home," editor Heather Antos said in the press release announcing the project. "From Klingons to Ferengi, Vulcans to Trill and beyond, it's so exciting to delve deep into what makes each of the species a unique addition to the world of Trek, Mirrorverse, or otherwise!"

The Alien Spotlight series offers classic Star Trek storytelling in IDW"s current line of Star Trek offerings. The publisher's biggest current Star Trek project is Star Trek: The Mirror War. The year-long event follows the Enterprise crew of the Mirror Universe and is set to conclude in August. Modern Star Trek fans have had Star Trek: Discovery -- Adventures in the 32nd Century, which will wrap in June. A new Star Trek: Picard series bridging the gap between the Paramount+ show's second and third seasons will launch in August.
