IDW Plans from Comic Con : Possible Star Trek Titan and Captain Sulu Comics Series

Features

By GustavoLeao / 01:49, 26 July 2008 / Trek Books

Newsarama posted a report about Pocket Books and IDW Publishing panel at the San Diego Comic Con in which were revealed some of the plans for future Star Trek comic books and novels. Here is an excerpt of their report :

The reins of Star Trek [comic book] editorial were handed over from Andrew Harris to Andy Schmidt, whose new office is barely even furnished. He spoke of talks with Pocket Books to use material from their novels and perhaps even create a cohesive continuity between the two mediums. fans were excited to hear about a possible Titan comic book or even an Excelsior comic based on the adventures of Captain Sulu. [Andy] Mangels, someone who helped create most of the characters created to fill in Riker's ship's ranks, said he would love to see them in another medium.


IDW went on to announce that there was going to be a second Alien Spotlight series, focusing on the Ferengi, the Klingons and, interestingly enough, the Q. They'll also be doing their own Mirror Universe story, Star Trek: the Last Generation, which will be set during the 'TNG' era of Trek. Captain Sulu of the aforementioned Excelsior will make an appearance as the plot will center on the Klingon occupation of Earth and Picard leading a resistance against the conquering Klingon Warlords.
 
The full report, in which they also discussed J.J. Abrams Star Trek movie impact on the comics and novels, can be found here.

Gosh, I hope so. More comics, more novels and if the movie does big business at the box office, a new TV series.
