Some of the most exciting partnerships in anime are just as captivating as intense rival battles.

IDW Publishing revealed a new Star Trek comic series on Wednesday, written by Christopher Cantwell and illustrated by Dennis Menheere. Following the conclusion of their previous Star Trek series, this one will finally show fans the adventures of the USS Enterprise-G, captained by Seven of Nine.

The final season of Game of Thrones remains a notorious disappointment for many TV viewers. After seven seasons widely considered to be brilliant, the show ran out of source material from George R.R. Martin, and he hadn’t been actively involved for years. Season 8 was almost universally criticized, bringing a once-great and highly successful series to an underwhelming end. Interestingly, around the same time, Star Wars saw a resurgence in popularity, but its finale proved to be just as problematic. Now, in 2026, Star Wars is showing signs of a successful recovery – something Game of Thrones hasn’t yet managed.
This is particularly noticeable in the original Game of Thrones, which featured increasingly impressive and large-scale battles over its eight seasons. However, House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms are also delivering fantastic conflicts. Across all three shows, these powerful battles are truly memorable, proving what fantasy television can achieve and making all the preceding political intrigue and character development worthwhile.
