‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Getting A Prequel Comic!

We’re still 7 months away from the release of JJ Abrams second Star Trek film, Star Trek Into Darkness, but it looks like you won’t have to wait quite that long to head back to the final frontier.

Bleeding Cool has revealed that a prequel comic titled Star Trek Countdown To Darkness will launch in January. The book will be a four issue mini-series that leads directly into the upcoming film.

Nothing is known about the plot at this point, but I’m sure we’ll get word of that soon!

The countdown to the motion picture event of 2013 begins here, in this blockbuster 4-issue prequel mini-series that sets the stage for the upcoming STAR TREK film! Like the best-selling STAR TREK: COUNTDOWN in 2009, this all-new series leads directly into the next movie, with a story by STAR TREK writer/producer Roberto Orci and Mike Johnson (STAR TREK ongoing series), and drawn by the original STAR TREK: COUNTDOWN artist, David Messina! STAR TREK 2013 PREQUEL is the can’t-miss lead-in to the new adventures of the Enterprise crew!

Will you be picking this one up? Are you looking forward to Star Trek Into Darkness?
