STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION TERRA INCOGNITA #1

NEXT Gen comics are coming thick and fast this year, as writers seize on the popularity of the Mirror Universe to create some outstanding storylines.

This new six-issue mini-series comes almost straight off the back of Through The Mirror, and sees the crew of the Enterprise facing a threat from one of their own.

But why has Mirror Reg Barclay stolen aboard the Enterprise D, and what has become of his Prime-universe counterpart?

Written by David and Scott Tipton, with art by Tony Shasteen, Terra Incognita #1 is out July 25, priced £3.35.

X-FILES: CASE FILES HOOT GOES THERE #1

STICKING with another 90s sci-fi classic, next week sees the release of a special X-Files mini-series.

To mark the 25th anniversary of Mulder and Scully gracing the small screen, IDW Publishing is releasing X-Files: Case Files, featuring stories which explore X-Files of the past and present.

Hoot Goes There sees Scully and Mulder in a small east-Texas town, investigating the disappearance of a woman said to have been carried away by a creature fitting the description of a harpy from Greek myth.

From the pens of legendary authors Joe R Lansdale, Keith Lansdale, with art by Menton3, Hoot Goes There #1 is out July 25, priced £3.35.

LIFE OF CAPTAIN MARVEL #1

SHE’S the newest ‘old’ superhero on everyone’s lips, as shooting on the Captain Marvel movie has just wrapped.

But who is Carol Danvers, and what is her back story?

Life of Captain Marvel gives the definitive account of Danvers, a girl from the suburbs of Boston who gains incredible superpowers after a chance encounter with a Kree hero.

Written by best-selling author Margaret Stohl and drawn by fan-favourite comics veteran Carlos Pacheco, this should keep you ticking over until Brie Larson brings her to life on the big screen next year.

Out now, priced £4.25.
