Yeah, I know, the Star Trek comic book license has been around the block more times than James T Kirk, but yet another comic book company has the rights to publish new material, and they're doing so from January.
IDW the company who own quite a few tv show licenses, such as CSI, 24, Angel and The Shield, are releasing Star Trek The Next Generation: The Space Between.
Set during the Enterprise D's first year (i.e. Tasha will be in it :thumbsup: ) the company seems determined not to retread the steps made by previous companies. By introducing new adversaries, and have single issue stories, in keeping with the shows upon which they are based.
Further series will be produced later, featuring the other shows in the Star Trek family.
Scheduled to launch in TNG's 20th Anniversary year, it seems Trek fans have something to look forward to after all.
here's some piccies.
Issue 1 cover
Issue 1 painted cover
Issue 1 Limited edition variant cover.
Issue 1 page 1.
It's looking good. :D

| Trek Comic Continues Series A new comic-book series from IDW publishing will pick up where the original Star Trek television series ended, with a chronicle of the Starship Enterprise's untold fourth year, the company said in a press release. Star Trek Year Four: The Enterprise Experiment will be co-written by D.C. Fontana, who started her career as assistant to Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry and went on to write some of the series' most celebrated episodes. Joining Fontana for her first-ever foray into comic-book storytelling will be veteran Star Trek artist Gordon Purcell, whose work has appeared in more than 50 issues of Star Trek, dating back to the 1980s. Purcell will be joined by longtime collaborator Terry Pallot on inks, with Derek Chester, a veteran of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek video games, collaborating with Fontana on the story and script. Fan-favorite illustrators the Sharp Brothers will provide covers for the entire five-part series. The Enterprise Experiment represents the second series of IDW's Star Trek: Year Four, which reveals the untold fourth year of the U.S.S. Enterprise's five-year mission, depicted for just three seasons on the original Star Trek series. The new series will include a sequel to Fontana's episode "The Enterprise Incident," in which Kirk famously posed as a Romulan to capture a new state-of-the-art cloaking device. In this all-new story, Federation efforts to fully adapt the cloaking device to Starfleet ships leads to an experiment gone awry, trapping Kirk and Spock on an Enterprise out of phase with space itself. At the same time, Romulan forces close in on the starship, intent on claiming revenge for their stolen technology. Later chapters in the series will provide a sequel to the first two issues, as the Klingon Empire suddenly enters the fray with its own agenda. The first monthly issue of Star Trek Year Four: The Enterprise Experiment goes on sale in April, with a retail price of $3.99. |
