Issue 8 of Star Trek Explorer was the 8th issue.

Synopsis[]

Star Trek Explorer #8 is here, ensuring Star Trek Day celebrations carry on long after September 8!
In the unmissable 100-page issue you'll find... Ed Speleers, who played Jack Crusher in Star Trek: Picard on whether he'll be returning to Star Trek; Celia Rose Gooding reflects on playing Nyota Uhura in the first and second seasons of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds; and there's the second half of our 2-part interview with Jonathan Frakes.
Behind-the-scenes we meet composer Nami Melumad to learn about creating the music for Star Trek: Prodigy and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds; and Star Trek: Picard Production Designer Dave Blass tells us about developing the vision for the Federation's 25th century aesthetic.
There are TWO all-new and exclusive short stories in this issue – Tuvok comes to the rescue in Keith R.A. DeCandido's "The Kellidian Kidnapping", and in David Mack's "Lost and Founder" we find Odo in a reflective mood.
PLUS... your definitive guide to Star Trek engineers; how comics have expanded Star Trek; Larry Nemecek; and Inside Trek recalls memorable alien encounters!
