* Star Trek: Countdown to Darkness #4, the final issue of the in-canon prequel mini-series, arrives in comic book stores today (as does the latest issue of the ongoing Star Trek series, both published by IDW). Here's a new interview with writer Mike Johnson, discussing how the prequel ties in to Star Trek Into Darkness, being released in theaters next month.
* In this lengthy preview for STCTD #4 (spoilers!), I'm pretty sure we're seeing the foundation for the motivation for "John Harrison" in the new movie; I'm now of the opinion that Benedict Cumberbatch may be playing a de-aged Robert April. Remember, getting younger is the core of Robert April's one previous Star Trek appearance.
* Unlike some people, I consider The Animated Series at least partially canonical. It was executive produced by Gene Roddenberry, written by D.C. Fontana, David Gerrold, Walter Koenig and other Star Trek writers, and starred William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForrest Kelley, James Doohan, Majel Barrett, George Takei and Nichelle Nichols. It aired originally on NBC. Come on, if you don't think that's Star Trek, I don't know what the hell to tell you.
* Here's the best round-up I've seen yet of high-resolution images from Star Trek Into Darkness. Yes, I downloaded every one. You will, too.
