IDW PUBLISHING'S STAR TREK
IDW Publishing has released the first image from January's Star Trek: Countdown #1
IDW has joined with Paramount Pictures, J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot Productions, Kurtzman/Orci Productions and CBS Consumer Products to publish a four-issue comic-book series tied to the new Star Trek movie, which will be released on May 8.
Star Trek: Countdown #1 is presented by Abrams and plotted by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman. It is written by Mike Johnson and Tim Jones, and features art by David Messina, who also provides covers.
"There was a lot of back and forth about doing this project, how to do it, what it would be about, but what all parties agreed on was that we needed the right story and that it needed to matter," editor Andy Schmidt said. "It had to count both on its own merits and when read in conjunction with the new movie."
"Star Trek: Countdown lays the groundwork for what happens in the movie," said Orci. "It's our way of passing the baton from the Next Generation characters and their movies to the new film."
