Star Trek: Defiant #5

Subtitled "No Old Warriors," this 2025 IDW collection finds the Star Trek: Defiant series in striking form, as the cover — rendered in a moody, ink-washed style by Christopher Cantwell and Angel Unzueta — presents a towering, battle-armored Klingon warrior bearing a bat'leth and a tattered crimson banner looming over a second figure clad in what appears to be feudal samurai-style armor and a straw hat. The collision of Klingon warrior culture with feudal imagery gives the cover an immediately arresting quality, hinting at conflicts where honor and survival are weighed in equal measure. It's a bold, visually distinctive entry in the series that any Star Trek fan will want on their shelf.
