According to Newsarama, IDW will present an epic comic book tale that leads into the J.J. Abrams-directed Star Trek movie due next summer. Abrams and screenwriter Roberto Orci will contribute to the comic book story, too.
Plus, Newsarama talked to legendary comic book writer/artist John Byrne about his upcoming Star Trek projects. Here are few excerpts of the interview.
Newsarama: Hi, John. You are really be living and breathing Star Trek thee days. First, the Alien Spotlight on the Romulans, then Assignment: Earth, and soon a sequel to the Romulans one-shot called The Hollow Crown starting in September, and another new series scheduled for 2009 called Crew?
John Byrne: Crew is a working title. I hope to come up with something more descriptive of the particular nature of the series. Also, there's a kind of sequel to the sequel, more Romulans, in the lineup. Probably more Assignment: Earth, too.
NRAMA: Moving on to Crew, it's a five-parter, right?
JB: Five or six. Still working that out.
NRAMA: And it'll feature some familiar faces. Just how familiar are they going to be? Will they be from the Jonathan Archer era or Captain Pike days? Or are you telling stories centering on Kirk and his crew?
JB: The familiar faces in Crew will be from the Pike days, unless you count the animated series as canonical.
NRAMA: You also said that there's a possibility of more Assignment: Earth stories. Care to tease?
JB: As I finished up the first one, I mentioned to Chris Ryall that I almost wished it was ongoing. He said "We can always do another one!" That was immediately appealing. As it stands, if I do more Assignment: Earth, I will take the same approach I did with my Generations series at DC, with the second series taking place over the same span of time covered by the first.
