"IDW Publishing has announced the launch of a new Star Trek comic book series based on J.J. Abrams&amp;#039; popular 2009 reboot of the sci-fi franchise. Launching later this year, IDW has joined up with CBS Consumer products as well as Star Trek producer and screenwriter Roberto Orci to create a new ongoing series. &amp;quot;Movies cost money. Lots and lots of money,&amp;quot; Orci announced. &amp;quot;But comics give us unlimited budgets to take the crew of the Enterprise farther than they&amp;#039;ve ever been.&amp;quot; Star Trek will explore the implications of the alternate timeline established in Abrams&amp;#039; reboot, as well as reinterpreting classic Star Trek tales. Orci will serve as creative director of the series alongside regular Star Trek writer Mike Johnson and artist Stephen Molnar. The title&amp;#039;s first issue will feature a reimagining of the episode &amp;#039;Where No Man Has Gone Before&amp;#039; from Star Trek: The Original Series. IDW previously published a miniseries in 2010 which retold the events of Abrams&amp;#039; Star Trek. Simon Pegg, who portrayed Montgomery &amp;#039;Scotty&amp;#039; Scott in the 2009 reboot, recently confirmed that filming for the sequel is scheduled to begin later this year. Star Trek #1 begins in September. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
