Star Trek Into Darkness is set to hit theaters on May 17, 2013, and similar to J.J. Abrams’ 2009 Star Trek film, a series of prequel comics will be available from IDW Publishing, beginning in January.
Beginning in January, a four-issue mini-series, titled “Star Trek: Countdown to Darkness” will lead up to highly anticipated sequel. The 2009 creative team of Roberto Orci, Mike Johnson and David Messina have all signed on for the upcoming project.
