…the Movie In Comics!
"Star Trek Into Darkness doesnft open in the U.S. until midnight on Thursday, but if youfre curious about what happens to the crew of the rebooted Enterprise after the movie credits roll, youfll need to get yourself to a comic shop (or at least, a digital one).

An IDW representative said that Orcifs involvement in the monthly series also means that certain clues and easter eggs for Star Trek Into Darkness made their way into the pages of the comics, though they wouldnft name specifics. The comic series originally launched by retelling classic episodes of the original television series in the new movie continuity, using gour version of the butterfly effect,h Johnson explained. gThere would be small changes at first, leading to big changes laterh and ultimately moving into original stories with issue No. 13Œs gThe Redshirtfs Tale…h
