Star Trek: Countdown to Darkness marks the second time that IDW has published a prequel to Abrams' relaunched Star Trek series, following the release of Star Trek: Countdown in 2009. If you've read Countdown you'll know that it delivered plenty of backstory for Eric Bana's Nero, so assuming this follows suit, we might just get a few clues as to just who Benedict Cumberbatch's 'John Harrison' really is...
Star Trek: Countdown to Darkness has been written by Mike Johnson from a story by Into Darkness co-writer Roberto Orci, and features art from David Messina, who worked with Johnson on Countdown. The first issue will be available in stores in January 2013, while Star Trek Into Darkness is set to arrive in cinemas on May 17th, 2013.
