Apparently, Captain April will be a central character in the upcoming Crew comic book mini series from IDW. Thanks to "Ro-Dan for the tip.

Very nice Lensman!

When I look at the ship drawing, it reminds me of a cross between the Connie, NX and the Excelsior class. It certainly is a legacy design that fits nicely in the universe.
