SDCC '15:Star Trek To Get Special 50th Issue Plus New Starfleet Academy Series
IDW has announced two new Star Trek project for 2015.
This October will see the release of Star Trek #50. Mike Johnson writes this special anniversary issue that kicks off a three-part adventure that will introduce the classic "Mirror/Mirror" storyline into the new film-based universe. Issue #50 will also include behind-the-scenes looks at the entire 50-issue run, along with hints about where the series is going. It will ship with a wraparound cover by series artist Tony Shasteen.
In December we will see Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. The comic follows Kirk, Spock, Uhura and some surprise faces while they are still cadets-in-training at Starfleet Academy, set in the period just prior to the opening of the 2009 film. At the same time, you'll meet the all-new "current day" class of Starfleet cadets, full of compelling young characters from all over the galaxy. The past and the present collide when a mystery bridges the two timelines. This series is written by Mike Johnson and Ryan Parrot, with art by Derek Charm.
