IDW Launches Peter David's Star Trek New Frontier Comic Book Mini-Series in 2008

Features

By GustavoLeao / 12:33, 18 December 2007 / Trek Books

The latest issue of Star Trek Magazine, just out in the US and UK, has a short run down of what Star Trek comic books are coming next year from IDW:

The first issue of fan-favorite TOS writer D.C Fontana's Year Four miniseries will be called "The Enterprise Experiment" and is a sequel to her third season episode "The Enterprise Incident", and the series is to be illustrated by Gordon Purcell.

Peter David will be writing a Star Trek New Frontier miniseries, with art by Stephen Thompson, based on David's best selling novels, featuring the adventures of Captain Mackenzie Calhoun and the crew of the Galaxy-Class U.S.S. Excalibur. See the first cover above. 

Comic book legend John Byrne (X-Men, Fantastic Four) will return to write and illustrate his own Star Trek miniseries, after his work on the upcoming Star Trek comic book Alien Spotlight Romulans.

And the Tiptons will be doing something in the Mirror Universe, including a mirror Captain Pike, to tie in with Pocket Books' new Mirror Universe anthology.

More "New Frontier" comics?!? | Report this post to moderator

*fangasm*

In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.

-Harry Lime (Orson Welles), "The Third Man"



Political tags-such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth-are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

-Robert A. Heinlein

Sweet news for New Frontier fans ! Too bad my friend Mike Collins isn't doing the art (Mike did the art in the New Frontier comic Double Time from Wildstorm). Hopefully Stephen Thompson's art is as good as Mike - IDW is really doing a fantastic job ! Congratulations to IDW editors Chris Ryall and Andrew Steven Harris for a well done job.

2008 will be a great year for Star Trek fans.
