From Ryall's blog: Ryalltime

A new series illustrated by the master, David Messina, starts in July. The image is of a young Spock. And if you look in the url of the image itself it is labeled "Spock #1". Will the name of the series be STAR TREK: SPOCK? I'm very, very interested.

Here's the image itself:

looks good

Ryall said there was a Countdown spin-off in July drawn by Messina...so perhaps this is the same book?

That's what I'm thinking too. I could be wrong but the Spock image seems to be a cross between Quinto and a young Nimoy. Maybe this is the life story of Spock.

This looks very intriguing! Can't wait to hear more!

looks cool, can't to wait to have it Very Happy

because with a comic done by Messina I can't imagine what can go wrong!

Do we know how many issues there'll be?

July is after the release of the film, so perhaps it has something to do with the (highlight to read) repercussions from the destruction of Vulcan in the film, with the Enterprise under Kirk and his (mostly) untested crew finding the survivors and then finding them a new home.
It's what I'd do.

I have to admit this sounds really cool and (even cooler) a bit like BSG (maybe they find 12 models of the Borg Very Happy

).... with this comic it's more an more likely that ST XI actually is set in a parallel Universe...

Is the Series named 'The Future begins?'

It's gonna be called "Spock: Reflections", and the Tiptons are writing it. Woot.

I think Mr. Messina has talent, but I would like to see him do less swipes in future work. So much of Countdown was based on stills taken from the trailer, or even some TNG publicity shots. Perhaps that was an artistic decision passed down from Bad Robot, to give stronger visual ties to the film, but I would prefer less myself...
