New Star Trek Ongoing Comic Book Available Today

Today, IDW launches their latest ongoing Star Trek comic book series with Star Trek #1.

This new series will present classic tales from the Original Series as filtered through J.J. Abrams’ version of Star Trek, last seen in the 2009 film.

First up is a re-envisioning of the original series’ second pilot “Where No Man Has Gone Before.” Featuring the likenesses of Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg, Zoe Saldana and others, this comic is meant as a companion piece to the new films (and will hopefully help eager fans survive the wait until the next big screen release).

Star Trek #1 will be available for sale at your local comic shop or online from various retailers as of today, Wednesday, September 21.

The first issue is written by Mike Johnson with interior art by Stephen Molnar. The issue will ship with various covers by artists Tim Bradstreet and David Messina.
