Comics Continuum posted the cover artwork and a synopsis for the third issue of Star Trek The Next Generation Intelligence Gathering Comic Book Mini-Series and the synopsis of the first isssue of the Star Trek New Frontier Mini-Series, which will be on sale on March 2008.

Star Trek New Frontier Issue 1

Written by Peter David, art and cover by Stephen Thompson.


In its first year of Star Trek comics, IDW Publishing broke out of the box with marquee titles like Star Trek: Year Four, the blockbuster Klingons: Blood Will Tell and the fan-favorite Alien Spotlight one-shots. Now, IDW takes it to the next level with the launch of its Star Trek: Second Stage lineup, featuring some of the top Star Trek creators in comics, books and television. It all begins here! New York Times Best-Selling author and comics legend Peter David, the hand-picked creator of the first Star Trek crew designed exclusively for print, celebrates the tenth anniversary of his creation by writing New Frontier's first-ever comic book series, showcasing all-new stories and the official continuation of the hit books.


In issue one, "Slingshot," the most dangerous experimental vessel in the galaxy -- a prototype time ship -- has vanished, and it appears that the man who stole it is none other than Starfleet Admiral Edward Jellico. Only Mackenzie Calhoun and the crew of the Excalibur have a hope in finding him before the ship, intended purely for scientific exploration, is used to disrupt the space-time continuum. With art by Stephen Thompson (Beneath the Valley of Rage), who also delivers four painted covers available as a Quad Cover, all bound in the same issue. Thompson also provides a bonus incentive cover featuring "Starfleet Captain Peter David" in the command chair!

Star Trek The Next Generation Intelligence Gathering Issue 3

Written by Scott Tipton and David Tipton, art by David Messina, covers by Messina and Joe Corroney.


As a false distress call lures the Enterprise to a distant region of space, a saboteur puts Geordi and O'Brien at ground zero of a warp core that's about to breach! But is all this part of a greater scheme to draw the Enterprise into deeper danger? From the creative that brought you the hit Klingons: Blood Will Tell miniseries, Scott & David Tipton and David Messina.



The original report, including info on the Star Trek Year Four trade paperback, can be found here.

    This sounds fun, but I really want a new NF novel...

      According to Pocket Books, there will be a new NF novel in 2008, which is a sequel to the events in Missing in Action.

        Thank the gods. His two-year cliffhangers are getting frustrating.

          Yeah, but you can not blame david because this year he was writing the TNG novel Before Dishonor, plus a lot of comics.

          Anyway, 2008 will be New Frontier year with a new novel and a five-part comic book miniseries.

          Just does not get better than this.
