"[After Darkness] picks up a few days after the movie ends, then jumps ahead about a week" Johnson tells Comic Book Resources. "The storyline address the fallout from both the film and the prequel miniseries Countdown to Darkness. The hope is that the prequel, the movie and the ongoing series tell one big epic story that continues into the months to come. I can tell you the story is being overseen by Bob Orci, the biggest and most knowledgeable Trek fan among the movie's writer/producers, so it's as close to a seamless transition from movie to comic book as can be. Bob guides what direction the story takes and helps ensure it doesn't veer too far from the direction established in the movie."
