Star Trek: Nero #3 (Of 4)

The 2009 hit film Star Trek, directed by J.J. Abrams, was essentially a re-start of the original five-year mission, for which IDW Publishing laid the groundwork for the story in the four-issue prequel comics series, Star Trek: Countdown (the complete miniseries is also posted here on Avax by bigsid--just search for it). Written by Mike Johnson and Tim Jones, and based on a story by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, Countdown introduced the character Nero and also spanned the gap between Nemesis and the Enterprise’s earliest voyages in Star Trek. One of the biggest questions fans have about the Star Trek movie is "What was Nero doing for 25 years?" because the time between the attack on the USS Kelvin and the arrival of Spock and the Jellyfish is left blank. Well, Star Trek: Nero will fill in that gap, with the same creative team behind Countdown. It is considered part of the ongoing rebirth of the Star Trek franchise for which IDW Publishing is playing an active part.
