Warning: contains potential spoilers for Star Trek: Voyager: Homecoming #2!
Star Trek: Voyager’s final battle officially begins in an exciting new sequel. IDW Publishing’s Star Trek: Voyager: Homecoming, released to celebrate the show’s 30th anniversary, gives Captain Janeway one last adventure. In a preview for issue two, she must rally the crew to take Voyager back from Species 8472, who have declared war on Janeway and the Federation.
Star Trek: Voyager: Homecoming #2 is written by Susan Bridges and Tilly Bridges and drawn by Angel Hernandez. Species 8472, believing the technology future Janeway gave Voyager makes the Federation a threat, have commandeered the ship and declared war.
Janeway must now not only stop the invasion, but also ensure Tuvok gets necessary medical treatment.
Homecoming Is Giving Star Trek: Voyager Fans the Closure They Have Waited For
Voyager’s Final Battle Is Against Their Most Powerful Foe: Species 8472
Airing on the now-defunct United Paramount Network from 1995 to 2001, Star Trek: Voyager expanded the franchise in exciting ways by exploring the Delta Quadrant. In its seven seasons, Voyager faced down threats such as the Kazon, the Krenim and the Borg. Voyager returned to the Alpha Quadrant, but left a lot of loose ends in the process.
Now, IDW Publishing is giving Voyager fans the closure they have waited 24 years for with Homecoming. The first issue picked up where the finale left off, with Voyager being escorted to Earth by a fleet of starships. The celebratory mood quickly turns sour when Species 8472, another hostile race encountered by Voyager, attacks the ship.
Star Trek: Voyager: Homecoming #1’s first issue not only explored the ramifications of the show’s finale, but also some of its other dangling plotlines. For example, Tuvok had a condition that was causing his mind to deteriorate, and only a mind meld from a family member could save him. Yet with 8472 attacking, Tuvok may not get the help he needs.
Captain Janeway and Voyager Beat Species 8472 Once, But Can They Do It Again?
Janeway and Voyager Are In For the Fight of Their Lives Before They Make it Home
Between the invasion and Tuvok’s rapidly worsening condition, Captain Janeway has her hands full in the preview for Star Trek: Voyager: Homecoming #2. Species 8472’s scheme to destroy the Federation is proceeding full steam ahead as they planned. The odds may seem in 8472’s favor, but Janeway and company beat them once before, and they can do so again.
While Janeway’s victory over Species 8472 is assured, it will not be an easy battle, as lives have already been lost. 8472 is an extremely powerful species, one that sends even the Borg into panic mode, and as seen in the preview for Star Trek: Voyager: Homecoming #2, it will be an epic battle between them and Starfleet.
