IDW Continues the Star Trek Saga with NERO



New story by film's screenwriters coming in August


Hot on the heels of one of this summer's biggest blockbuster films, IDW is proud to announce the latest chapter in its Star Trek comic book saga. Star Trek: Nero expands on the action of the movie, following Starfleet's newest enemy as he seeks ultimate revenge-the utter destruction of the Federation and all its worlds.

"Nero, the great villain of the movie, was actually introduced in Star Trek: Countdown, which leads directly into the film," said Scott Dunbier, IDW's Star Trek editor. "This follow-up series will reveal exactly what happened to the crew of the Narada during the intervening 25 years Nero was waiting for the arrival of Ambassador Spock."

Star Trek: Nero reunites the creative team behind The New York Times best-selling movie prequel, Star Trek: Countdown. Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, the film's screenwriters/producers, once again supply the story, while Mike Johnson and Tim Jones return to skillfully apply their scripting talents to Nero's story. Artist David Messina again lends his artistic talents, depicting each painful twist and supplying eye-catching covers. The four-issue miniseries will be available monthly, beginning in August.

Star Trek: Nero #1, a licensed product of CBS Consumer Products, will be available in stores in August 2009. Diamond order code JUN09 0956
