Series editor Rich Handley announced the news on the Star Trek COMICS : Across Generations Facebook group, and gave details of the first few books in the extended run, up to issue 124. Continue below for the details of each issue (working backwards from 124, which is due in August):
- Marvel Voyager miniseries Splashdown
- Written by Laurie Sutton, with art by Terry Pallot and Al Milgrom.
- A four-part underwater adventure notable as the only time we see the aeroshuttle in action.
- Gold Key #62: Trial By Fire
- Written by John Warner, with art by Frank Bolle.
- A cancelled issue brought to print thanks to Mark Martinez of The Star Trek Comics Checklist.
As a special bonus, this volume will present the unpublished 62nd issue of Gold Key Comics' Star Trek run. Writer John Warner had turned in a script for this issue, titled "Trial By Fire," but it remained in limbo for decades once Gold Key parent company Western Publishing dropped the Star Trek license. Scans of Warner's script, and of nineteen lightly penciled pages from artist Frank Bolle, have been shared informally among collectors, but thanks to Star Trek comics expert Mark Martinez, Eaglemoss has gained access to the actual script and original art pages for high-quality reproduction purposes. At last, this lost Gold Key tale is being presented to fans in an official capacity.
- Malibu DS9 miniseries The Maquis, Soldier of Peace
- Written by Mark A. Altman, with art by Rob Davis and Terry Pallot.
- As the title implies, features the Maquis, and an adventure for Doctor Bashir.
- IDW one-shot Flesh and Stone.
- Written by Scott and David Tipton, with art by Rob and Joe Sharp.
- A medical crossover, featuring the doctors of TOS, TNG, DS9, and Voyager!
- DC TOS (second series) Special #1, which contained two stories:

- The return of the comics character R.J. Blaise in an Enterprise-A era story.

- Written by Mike Collins, with art by Collins and Terry Pallot.
- A Spock focused story set between The Search For Spock and The Voyage Home.
- DC TOS Who's Who in Star Trek
- Written by Allan Asherman, with more artists than is reasonable to list illustrating!
- An illustrated encyclopedia of Star Trek, originally published in two issues. Each spread covers a different subject, with extensive illustrations, each handed by a different artist.
- The final volume collecting the UK TOS comics, originally published as weekly serials and one off stories in various UK childrens magazines.
This volume will feature the storylines from Valiant and TV21 issues #43-118, as well as the 1972 and 1973 TV21 Annuals, the 1972 Valiant Summer Special, the 1978 Mighty TV Comic Annual, and the 1979 TV Comic Annual. Also included will be a one-page Trek strip from a 1970 issue of Radio Times magazine, plus a gorgeous gallery of Star Trek-themed covers. The Enterprise crew sometimes speak out of character in these stories, and the terminology and technology vary from what you might be used to onscreen, but the strips have a uniquely British feel that makes them undeniably enjoyable.

Many of these comics, have never been reprinted before; the series is doing a fantastic job bring books back into print, and digging up those really obscure titles. Handley expects they could finish the job if the series is granted another 20-issue extension. But that all depends on sales, so keep buying!
Finally, in addition to the regular issues, Rich Handley also announced, again on the Star Trek COMICS : Across Generations Facebook group, the latest of the subscriber bonus books, which collect John Byrne's New Visions series. This fifth collection in the series will include the final two regular issues, and some additional stories:
