John Byrne Creates A Star Trek Photo Novel Comic Sequel To Mirror, Mirror

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2014 08:00:59 -0600

John Byrne is putting together a second "photonovel" style comic book for Star Trek, using images from the original TV series manipulated to create a new narrative. And he's doing it to create a direct sequel to the episode Mirror, Mirror – now named The Mirror, Cracked, telling the parallel dimension Star Trek story directly after the events of that sixties' series.

And it's not going to be a one-off, it's now a bimonthly series, each 48 page book telling a new Star Trek story using the imagery to hand. See how he did it with the first book…

Byrne did want to clarify the cover details though, saying,

It should be noted that the cover seen there is from an earlier version of the book, when we were still planning on a 22 page monthly. Hence the "Part One" in the title. The 48 page version is complete in one issue. Also, we have a new series title, beyond "Star Trek" alone. I will let IDW announce that!

Star Trek New Visions beings in May.

Following up on last years hugely successful "Strange New Worlds" photonovel, John Byrne once again sets sail aboard the Starship: Enterprise, this time with an ongoing, bi-monthly series that begins by going through the looking glass to tell the story of what happened after the classic "Mirror, Mirror" episode of the original series. The crew discovers two strangers in their midst, and quickly learns that one has made a pact with one of James Kirk's oldest foes. "The Mirror, Cracked" is the title, and the action unfolds in May!
