The upcoming movie in May is getting a 4 issue comic prequel series from IDW. This company has been doing some great Trek comics the past few years and this looks to be a good addition to that. The comic will show events leading up to the film. Here’s a little more detail (be warned – this may contain spoilers related to the film):
As reported, the comic series starts off after the events of Star Trek Nemesis. The Stardate given is 64333.4, around eight years after Nemesis (Stardate 56893.5). Issue one starts off with Nero and his crew, including his second Ayel, on a mining operation (looking for something called ‘decalithium’) when something seems to go wrong. Also of note is that Nero and his crew have hair and no tattoos (as seen in pre-release images), and although the drilling platform appears the same, Nero’s ship looks different than seen in the Star Trek trailer and press previews…
Issue one goes on sale Jan. 21st! Learn more and view the 5 page preview HERE.
