IDW Publishing has joined with Paramount Pictures, J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions, Kurtzman/Orci Productions and CBS Consumer Products to publish a four-issue limited comic book series that will be a prequel to next summer’s new Star Trek movie, which will be released in theaters on May 8, 2009.
Editor and Chief Chris Ryall said, "This leads right into the movie setting up who the villain is, and featuring major developments with characters like Picard, Data, Worf and Spock. It's a pretty epic story".
Star Trek: Countdown #1, will be released in January 2009.
The story is presented by Abrams and plotted by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman. It is written by Mike Johnson (Superman/Batman) and Tim Jones, and features stunning art by David Messina (Star Trek: Mirror Images). Messina also provides covers for the series.
"Star Trek: Countdown lays the groundwork for what happens in the movie," said Roberto Orci. "It's our way of passing the baton from the Next Generation characters and their movies to the new film."
