Star Trek Countdown to Darkness Limited Edition Enterprise Edition Variant Released

The countdown to the motion picture event of 2013 has begun with the release of Star Trek Countdown to Darkness by IDW Publishing. This blockbuster comic book prequel sets the stage for the upcoming film Star Trek Into Darkness much like IDW's 2009 release of Star Trek: Countdown which quickly sold out due to such high demand.

With Star Trek Countdown to Darkness, consumers have a choice between a standard cover featuring James T. Kirk, a cover depicting the scene from the film posters, a variant from Hastings Entertainment in the USA and finally the limited edition Enterprise Edition which features the U.S.S. Enterprise and James T. Kirk and is strictly limited to 1701 copies worldwide.

The Enterprise Edition of Star Trek Countdown to Darkness is already a clear fan favourite. Trekmovie.com are saying "It's a tough call, but I have to give the nod to Molnar's Enterprise edition as the best cover. I have no idea if the details of Molnar's Enterprise are accurate. Don't care. It just looks cool."

The comic book takes place in the months since the defeat of the Romulan terrorist Nero featured in the Star Trek movie of 2009. Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise have embarked on a voyage of discovery that has taken them across the galaxy. They have explored strange new worlds, new civilizations... And encountered grave new threats to the security of the Federation, but none greater than the one they are about to face now.

With a stunning cover featuring the U.S.S. Enterprise, Star Trek Countdown to Darkness is illustrated by Star Trek veteran artist Stephen Molnar, and is a must have for any Star Trek fan or comic book collector. The comic book also comes complete with numbered certificate of authenticity and features some very nice touches that only Star Trek fans will pick up on (such as the barcode ending 01701).

There is no doubt that Star Trek Countdown to Darkness is going to be a big success, the question is which cover will you be buying?
