Captain Kirk returns from the dead in a new Star Trek comic titled The Last Starship, set in one of the most chaotic and least explored eras of the venerable sci-fi franchise, The Burn. As many Trekkers will know, The Burn is the cataclysmic era in which all active warp cores around the galaxy suddenly ignited, killing literal trillions of people and effectively ending the Federation.
As Trekkers will also know, Captain James Tiberius Kirk (first played by William Shatner, then Chris Pine, and currently Paul Wesley) was the captain of the Enterprise in the original Star Trek series, dying in 1994's film Star Trek: Generations - though it's a bit more complex than just that.
