Popverse's top stories of the day

• Netflix's One Piece has chosen the anime's first great arc as the climax for season 2
• Popverse convention panel archive: Watch panels from NYCC, MCM, C2E2, ECCC, and more on-demand!
• Our Flag Means Death's Kristian Nairn says season 3 is "down to the fans," and that "they're doing exactly the right thing"

Emerald City Comic Con is being bold, being brave, and being courageous (to borrow a line from a certain Star Trek captain) in its first guest announcements for its 2025 event. Four of the stars of Paramount+'s Star Trek: Strange New Worlds cast are scheduling an away mission to Seattle... and want to meet you.

Anson Mount (Christopher Pike), Ethan Peck (Spock), Celia Rose Gooding (Nyota Uhura), and Melissa Navia (Erica Ortegas) are plotting a course to Emerald City Comic Con 2025 to do very much what they do in the show: explore strange new worlds (Have you seen the ECCC Tavern?!), seek out new life and new civilizations (the meet-ups!), and boldy go where no one has gone before. Well... maybe some of us have been in previous years, but let's not make a big deal out of that last one.

The Star Trek: Strange New Worlds quartet is scheduled to be at ECCC 2025 on Saturday and Sunday, doing Photo Ops, Autographs, and a panel. Popverse Superfans will have first access to those opportunities, as well as to tickets to the entire four-day event. Sign up now so you don't miss out!

Emerald City Comic Con Con returns to the Seattle Convention Center March 6 through March 9, 2025.

Space may be the final frontier, but there's no end to Popverse's love of the Star Trek universe. Hop aboard the starship Enterprise with our Star Trek watch order, explore strange new worlds with our upcoming Star Trek TV shows and movies list, seek out the new life of the franchise, and boldly go where no Star Trek film has ever gone before - with Quentin Tarantino?
