IDW May 2013 Star Trek Comics

IDW Publishing has released their publishing plans for May 2013. Considering that this is the month Star Trek Into Darkness comes out, it seems that IDW has punted by releasing on one new comic and one trade. I guess they are recognizing that it movies do not really boost the sale of comic books (but anecdotal evidence that they do help trade sales). Still if you enjoyed the movie you might want to check out Star Trek 21 which takes place after the events in the movie so it is the point the series switches to being a prequel to a continuing story of the Enterprise crew. For the full details of IDW's other books including GI Joe, TMNT, Transformers, Locke & Key and more click here.
