This past summer’s Star Trek movie’s writer-producers, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, and the creative team behind the best-selling Star Trek: Countdown have returned to elaborate on the new version of the Star Trek universe by filling in the missing time in Nero’s life. What happened between his attack on the U.S.S. Kelvin and his much later confrontation with the U.S.S. Enterprise? Strongly tied together with elements familiar to longtime Trek fans and for those to whom the movie was their first exposure, this one’s another hit for IDW.
