The Phoenix Five? Really Marvel? Really?

That wasn't unexpected to you? It sure surprised me, and it was one of the few things that actually wasn't leaked online beforehand.

Captain's Log: "Star Trek: The Next Generation" Launches With IDW And Brannon Braga



Official Press Release

There’s no easy way to say it… the Borg are back. The cubes, the Queen, Locutus, and their intractable stance on resistance have reared their ugly heads once again to jeopardize the fate of our Galaxy. With all evil, though, must come good, and who better to thwart the Borg’s steely agenda than Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise?

For the show’s twenty-fifth anniversary, Hugo Award-winner Brannon Braga, one of The Next Generation’s key writers, is joining forces with fellow Trek scribe Terry Matalas and artist Joe Corroney to bring Captain Picard and the Enterprise’s crew back for a dynamic new journey.

"It’s a thrill and privilege to be writing in the Star Trek universe again,” said Braga. “This graphic medium will provide the narrative ambition and visual scope this story deserves -- the final chapter in The Borg saga!"

In a distant future, where the deadly Borg have assimilated the entire Galaxy, Picard, his crew, and some unexpected allies must prove once and for all that resistance is not futile! Packed with mind-bending twists, time-jumping action, and revered, genre-defining characters, STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION: HIVE promises to be a must-read event for fans of the TNG’s intrepid legacy.

This September, tell your local comic shop to make it so!

STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION: HIVE #1 ($3.99, 32 pages, full color), licensed by CBS Consumer Products, will be available in stores September 2012. Diamond order code: JUL12 0282.

I think I am going to have to check this out, even if it is only for one issue.

Surprised, sure, pleasantly surprised? Nope.

Interesting.

I've got to say JIRO DREAMS OF SUSHI is one of the years best films, and Bourdain's autobiographies are excellent (Bone in Throat, not so much).

BDoom,

Check out the Super Skrull series that ties in with Annihilation. Really is worth a read.

I have it in my read pile of comics which I recently ordered from ComicCollectorLive.com. I've already finished the Nova and Ronan ones, and Super-Skrull was next on the agenda.

Anyone read Amazing Spiderman #688?

How is it?

Enjoyed Nova, Starlord wasn't bad, loved Super Skrull, couldn't get into Ronan at all. I know not to judge a book by its cover, but the cover art was bad ass and what was inside was...cartoony. Couldn't get into the story either.
