Riding the Omnibus

In the spring, we're doing two Omnibus editions of older STAR TREK comics. Both will collect the Marvel comics runs. The first'll be issues 4-18 of their original series (issues 1-3 were the movie adaptation and are being collected in their own Omnibus later, complete with an all-new STAR TREK II adaptation we're doing. KHAN was the only movie never adapted to comics for some reason, which is even odder since everyone considers it the best TREK movie. We're finally gonna rectify that next summer). The second edition will collect the entirety of their EARLY VOYAGES series. Zach Howard will be doing covers for both books, and here I thought I'd show off both his pencils for the cover:



And the final inked version, too. Colors by Len O'Grady are forthcoming.

Will the new STAR TREK II adaptation be a part of the movies omnibus in addition to being released before that in issues or TPB form ???

It's being released as a 3-part biweekly miniseries first (in June/July '09), and then will be collected in a book that features all the movie comics in one, yeah. That one's slated for next winter, I believe.

Great to see all 3 of these are coming.

Omnibus editions seem to be the new way to go in the industry.

This is wonderful news!
Will they be Hardcover or Softcover?

Star Trek II is the only movie that is not adapted to comic form, Insurrection and Nemesis are the other two movies that aren't adapted to comic forms.

Early Voyages ended on a cliffhanger, with the final chapter(s) of the storyline unpublished. Will IDW publish this conclusion?
