Star Trek #31 will be the first part of a brand-new two part “adventure set within the continuity of the blockbuster Star Trek films.!” In Star Trek #31, “Captain Kirk and the crew have never faced a threat like the one they face now: their own ship.

Star Trek: Gold Key Archives: Vol 1 HC was written by Arnold Drake, and George Kashdan, with art by Nevio Zaccara, Alberto Giolitti, and Giovanni Ticci.
In Star Trek: Volume 7, “war breaks out across the stars as the Klingon and Romulan Empires fight for supremacy, with the Enterprise caught in the middle! This issue collects issues #25-28 of the ongoing series of original stories set after the events of Star Trek into Darkness.
Written by Mike Johnson, with art and cover by Erfan Fajar, Star Trek: Volume 7 will be one hundred-and-four pages long, and will sell for $17.99.
About The Author
Gold Key #1-6 weren’t written by Kashdan and Drake–they were written by Dick Wood.
unless they redid all the art or dialogue ?
No, it’s a case of IDW getting the names wrong. Kashdan and Drake wrote later issues in the series.
Ahh ok 🙂
Are these comics, post STID, an indication of what we can expect in the next movie? My frustration level just increases. I welcome the interaction with the Klingon, but some of the personal interaction within the crew is abysmal. Kirk refers to Marcus as Carol, now. Is he tapping a crewmember? When was the character growth suppose to start?
