IDW Publishing released Star Trek Deviations: Threads of Destiny #1 today. The cover features Uhura as played by Nichelle Nicols on the original tv series. The story is a great read for Black History Month and this week's Women Wednesday. There is a very special guest star that appears in the story too. Here is the official summary:
"This special one-shot features Lieutenant Nyota Uhura. In the 23rd century, she explores far-flung star systems with her crew on the Enterprise as part of her mission to communicate and build bridges with life found across the Galaxy. But in the 20th century, humankind was working to build understanding among themselves, with African Americans on Earth championing the Civil Rights Movement and using their voices and acts of protest to end racial segregation and discrimination. Now, by way of the Guardian of Forever, Uhura is yanked back through time to 1963. There, she’ll join all those fighting for equality and justice and reconnect to why her work as a communications officer is perhaps the most important work of all."
