Star Trek Voyager made some weird choices in its final season. The finale turned into a big time travel mess involving the Borg and ultimately ended just as they entered the Alpha Quadrant and made it home, giving the audience no catharsis at all. It also did weird things like pair up Chakotay and Seven of Nine both of whom had popular ships among the fans that the other was not part of. It was an impressive method of irritating everyone. Another weird choice it made all the way back in season 5 was trying to humanize Species 8472, the least human species and an actual threat up to that point. The only positive choice they made was ditching Neelix so he was only in one scene of the finale. In my opinion, season 6 should have ended on a cliffhanger of Voyager about to make it home and then season 7 should have shocked everyone by having it work. Then we could have had a full season to see the characters adjust to life back at home while introducing some threat they brought with them that only they could stop. But that's basically fanfiction at this point, much like this comic.
This is a fix-it fanfic essentially. A fix-it is a type of fanfiction focused entirely on fixing something the writer doesn't like. These can be put into two categories: Bringing back a dead character (Tara from Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a favourite for this), or fixing a bad ending (The finale of Game of Thrones. Actually almost any tv series finale.) This is the second type. The writer correctly doesn't like the ending of Voyager and wrote a 4 issue comic to try to fix it.
The Voyager arrives at home and is boarded by the Pathfinder team, a group dedicated to bringing Voyager home, led by Admiral Paris. Immediately they are revealed to be 8472 in disguise and send the Voyager to fluidic space. It turned out the 8472 that the Voyager allied with back in season 5 were actually a rebel group and were rejected. Voyager is beat up and looks like they can't win until they find a borg cube with borg cut of from the collective. In the space of two panels Seven of Nine falls in love with the female borg Nine. The crew find the rebel 8472 who help them escape Fluidic Space (they also find Admiral Paris who was replaced by an alien back in season 4 apparently, meaning pretty all his appearances in the show were fake. It's a weird choice.) They manage to escape and Chakotay and 7 basically decide they never should have been dating anyway.
And then we get just the worst homecoming which is so dedicated to fixing all the relationships and making everyone happy that I briefly thought it was a trap made by some telepathic enemy. Torres reunites with her estranged father who wants a relationship with her now. Kim sees his family and learns Libby did wait seven years for him. The Doctor meets his creator who tells him he's so proud. Seven gets into starfleet and starts dating that borg. Tom makes peace with his dad and they both admit they were wrong all along. Chakotay's sister, only ever mentioned in passing, greets him and reveals he's a transman. It's all very fanfic-y and unconvincing. A return like this should be bitter sweet. Everyone thought the Voyager was lost for 4 years, and even when they found out it wasn't, nobody really thought they'd make it home. There should be conflicted confusing emotions. Some drama maybe. But instead we get a dream.
Anyway, this is bad. I'm not necessarily against anything that happens specifically, but it reads less like a story and more like the author's list of grievances. I haven't read the other attempt at this (Christie Golden's Homecoming), but the word is it's pretty bad too. I'm really disappointed because a comic that takes up a second after voyager ended is a genuinely good idea. It should probably be ongoing though, and better written. There's a lot of other problems I haven't gotten into. The pacing is atrocious, the characterization is atrocious, and Voyager seems to have a crew compliment of 8 people; I assume the entire crew died in the transwarp conduit.
I think Voyager was a show that always took the easy safe choice and was pretty bad as a result. I only mention this so that you understand what I mean when I say this is way worse than Voyager.

A Wonderful Return to Voyager
Star Trek: Voyager: Homecoming feels like the continuation many Voyager fans have been waiting for.
Tilly and Susan Bridges pick up at an irresistible moment, with Voyager finally reaching Earth after seven years in the Delta Quadrant, and then explore what “coming home” actually means for a crew that has been through so much together.
What I loved most is how well the story captures the characters and relationships that made Voyager special. Janeway feels like Janeway. Seven, the Doctor, Tuvok, B’Elanna, Tom, Harry, Chakotay and the rest of the crew feel familiar without the story simply relying on nostalgia. There are meaningful character moments alongside a genuinely engaging Star Trek adventure.
The Bridges clearly understand that Voyager was always about more than getting from the Delta Quadrant back to Earth. It was about the family that formed along the way, and Homecoming embraces that beautifully.
Ángel Hernández’s artwork brings the story to life and makes returning to Voyager feel even more special.
Hopeful, heartfelt, fun and unmistakably Trek. As a Voyager fan, this was an absolute pleasure to read.
At this point, if Tilly and Susan Bridges are writing it, I’ll be reading it. They have a wonderful understanding of Star Trek, its characters and the heart of what makes these stories matter.
Five stars. 🖖

Review of advance copy
HOMECOMING is a sequel to Star Trek Voyager as our protagonists have managed to finally make it to Earth before almost immediately being grabbed by Species 4658 (or whatever their number) and being forced into fluidic space. I have to say that I've always felt that species was underutilized and I'm happy to see them as enemies again outside of Star Trek Online. The book is a bit dark and it's a shame some of the crew are killed (red shirts or not) when they were so close to home. We also get some twists like one of Chakotay's family being trans and new love interests for members of the crew.

Set between continuity raindrops during the last episode of Voyager, Homecoming is meant to be 'one final adventure', but it's mostly just messy. There's a lot going on, a return for multiple villains all at the same time, and the artwork really isn't good enough to keep up with all the insanity that the plotlines throw at us. I applaud the ambition, but I think this one misses the mark.
Not the best Star Trek comic IDW have put out, sadly, and I was very excited to see these characters again.

That was fun (especially the first issue) but didn't utilize the Borg nearly as much as the individual issue covers seemed to promise, which was a bummer.

un buen viaje a la nostalgia

based on individual issues.
Where did the rest of crew go? bothers me throughout the book.

The ending we never got. It wasn’t perfect but it was a lot of fun! And honestly, I will read anything with Kathryn Janeway in it.

I don’t usually read graphic novels but really enjoyed this one. It finished off the story of Voyager’s homecoming quite nicely.
