IDW December 2024 Solicits, TMNT, Naruto, Sonic, Star Trek, No Ponies

Star Trek: Next Gen, DS9, Voyager and TOS Teach Lower Decks in IDW December 2024 Solicits, with TMNT, Naruto & Sonic but no My Little Pony

Quite the week for IDW news and gossip, and now the IDW's December (and a bit of January) solicits and solicitations are dropping on Bleeding Cool. No launches (yet) but much to continue, including a Star Trek Lower Decks confrontation with Next Generation, DS9, Voyager and TOS, as Jadzia Dax, Montgomery Scott, Kathyrn Janeway, T'Pol, and Jean-Luc Picard mentor the Lowe Decks,  a new Sonic The Hedgehog arc, Scattered Pieces by Ian Flynn and Aaron Hammerstrom, a lead up to Lore War in Star Trek #27, as "Lore's destruction has consumed everything in the universe except the U.S.S. Theseus and the Celestial Temple",

Notably, there are no solicits for My Little Pony titles for the first time since IDW picked up the Hasbro franchise, leading credence to earlier gossip regarding the license.
