IDW February Star Trek Comics

IDW Publishing has released their publishing plans for February. The month continues their "Infestation" storyline that has their version of zombies invading the worlds of their various properties including the Star Trek universe. Just the two Trek Infestation books are being offered (starting to wonder if Trek in comic form is going to be around much longer). If you are interested in the books, just let your local comic book store know. For the full details of IDW's other books including GI Joe, Transformers, Angel and more click here.

Pine, Dawson Talk Star Trek 2 Hopes

Two of the stores in the new film Unstoppable also spoke briefly about Star Trek 2 that is currently in the scripting phase of development. Chris Pine (Kirk) is hoping the sequel will have more humor while his lovely co-star Rosario Dawson is just hoping it will have her.

In an interview with Hollywood Buzz (video below) expressed his faith in the "whole gang" that will be developing the script and the movie while also saying "I do really enjoy the humor in it, hopefully there will be a taste of that in the new one."

Meanwhile self-professed Trekkie Rosario Dawson spoke with Collider about her hope that she can be in the next film and isn't even picky about the role. She said, "...just a Klingon, something, like anything at one point, just go out there and say "Qapla" or something, and then I'd be happy..."

Fan Star Trek 2 Promotional Poster

The picture to the left almost looks like an official image to promote the upcoming sequel to JJ Abrams' Star Trek. However, it isn't as the film is still just in the script writing stage and at least 9 months away from even getting before a camera. Collider.com posted the image for pretty much the same reason I am - just liked it and figured you might too.
