IDW Publishing sent to TrekWeb an exclusive 5-page first look preview at the art by artist Stephen Thompson for the first issue of their upcoming Star Trek New Frontier comic book mini-series, written by New York Times Best-Selling author and Star Trek uber-scribe Peter David.

In issue one, "Turnaround," 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!

I'd like to see a 'Time Trek' TV show.

"I would be happy for Star Trek to come along decades later with a new group of minds. I'd love someone to say, 'Besides this one, Gene Roddenberry's was nothing!'" - Gene Roddenberry

"...I think it would be wonderful years from now to see Star Trek come back with an equally talented new cast playing Spock and Kirk and Bones and Scotty and all the rest, as they say tomorrow's things to tomorrow's generations..." - Gene Roddenberry

I am a big New Frontier and Peter David fan and I can say that I found the art in those pages awesome. Stephen's art is fantastic and the USS Paradox has a really cool design for a prototype time-ship. I am really looking foward to this post-Nemesis mini-series and congrats to Andrewm Chris and the entire IDW team for a job well done,

Gustavo

      hehe. Most definitely.

      There once was a man named Scorned,
      whose posts were more offensive than porn.
      He posted one too many,
      got kicked out on his fanny,
      and all the while he had been warned.

    No doubt. That ship is badass. Makes me wish I read Star Trek comics. Maybe if they collect the series in graphic novel form....right now I'm waiting for the complete Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash.
