Star Trek news from John Byrne

In his forum Me. Byrne posted the following about a new 3 issues mimi series Star Trek: ROMULANS - SCHISM :

• This week I started this, the third and "final" chapter of my Romulans stuff for IDW. This tells the tale of how the Romulans and the Klingons stopped being "pals" some time before the first TREK movie.

Mr. Byrne also posted that for the Romulans omnibus he is going to do an adaptation of the TOS eppisode "Balance of terror". Since I already have some of the Romulans issues and planning on getting this new mini series too, I'm not going to buy the omnibus.

More Star Trek comics collections from IDW

I definetly need to find more shelf space for all the Star Trek collections I already own and those who are on the way :)

• Star Trek archives vol.5: Best of Kirk
• Star Trek archives vol.7: Best of Klingons
• Star Trek: Movie omnibus

"Vol.6: Best of alternate" of the archives is not listed cos I've already got it under the name "The mirror universe saga" :)

Spock: Reflections from IDW

In the last couple of months Chris Ryall kept hinting about a new Star Trek series that would start in July. According to IDW's former editor Harris, the series will be called Spock: Reflections, and will see David Messina return to his regular writing partners Scott and David Tipton (thanks god that it's not bloody Tichman). The story will apparently be set in the new timeline created by the new movie.

May solicitations

Since last writing here I dropped off my reading list most of the Star Wars series and the Marvel Illustrated series and added Buffy. Star Wars because they are covering too many eras while I'm only interested in the movies characters. Marvel Illustrated due to economics. The price for a single issue was upped to $4 which make the trades paperbacks cheaper. I added Buffy although I disliked the series because the comics are fun and interesting. I needed to trim my reading list because with all the new titles coming up, some of which are listed bellow it was getting out of hand.

IDW's Star Trek plans for the beginning of 2009

From an interview with Andy Schmidt:

• I've got three major launch points lined up. The first is in January with the premiere of the very-closely-tied-to-the-movie prequel Star Trek: Countdown. The story for this comes right from the screen writers of the movie and leads up to the opening of the film. There's a LOT of dramatic and action-packed backstory that couldn't make it into the movie but is perfect for a comic book—so don't miss it! It's your first chance to meet the new villain for the movie and get some MAJOR hints as to what the movie is about!
• Then in March we're launching a couple of awesome Original Series projects. Crew is by John Byrne and explores a very important bit of business prior to Kirk's taking control of the Enterprise.
• Mission's End is by Ty Templeton and Stephen Molnar and it tells the story of the final mission of the original five-year mission, and you know what? THE STATUS QUO CHANGES. That's right, you'll see friendships suffer and crumble as well as really great action. This book is going to lead up to some really big changes for the Original Series franchise.
• In April, we're publishing the early anticipated and long-awaited Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan movie adaptation. I'm adapting the screenplay myself and artist Chee who I wrote a mini-series for last year is doing the art. He's an amazing talent! And we've got Chris Ryall editing it.
• We're doing it in three chapters and the movie doesn't naturally break into thirds. So the first chapter is about the crew getting ready and Kirk getting honest with himself until he has to take over the ship.The second chapter focuses more personally on the revenge story and the life/death themes of the film. It ends after Kirk has been kicked around by Khan and we get just the faintest glimmer of hope that they might make it out alive.And the third chapter, of course, rises up to the climax of the film and resolves the conflict. It's great stuff and it's an honor to be doing the adaptation.

From Chris Ryall blog:

• In the spring, we're doing two Omnibus editions of older STAR TREK comics. Both will collect the Marvel comics runs. The first'll be issues 4-18 of their original series (issues 1-3 were the movie adaptation and are being collected in their own Omnibus later, complete with an all-new STAR TREK II adaptation we're doing. KHAN was the only movie never adapted to comics for some reason, which is even odder since everyone considers it the best TREK movie. We're finally gonna rectify that next summer). The second edition will collect the entirety of their EARLY VOYAGES series.

Answering my question about the 2nd movie adaption Chris Ryall said:

• It's being released as a 3-part biweekly miniseries first (in June/July '09), and then will be collected in a book that features all the movie comics in one, yeah. That one's slated for next winter, I believe.
