In 2014, I contributed to my first of many books for Sequart. it was titled New Life and New Civilizations: Exploring Star Trek Comics, and it was edited by my friend Joseph F. Berenato.

I’ll be highlighting books I’ve worked on throughout my career, with a new one posted every Thursday. First up: Watching Time: The Unauthorized Watchmen Chronology.
IDW’s Countdown to Darkness and After Darkness provided bookends to Star Trek Into Darkness. Written by Mike Johnson, both were illustrated by David Messina and Marina Castelvetro.
IDW’s Hive, written by Terry Matalas and Travis Fickett, was based on a story by Brannon Braga, and it celebrated The Next Generation’s 25th anniversary.
The journey to examine how comics offer prequels, sequels, and tie-ins to onscreen Star Trek has reached issues #14-20 of IDW’s ongoing monthly title.
I’ve been going through the entire Styx discography in release order, and right now I’m listening to 2003’s Cyclorama for the first time. It was well worth the wait.
This week, I examine IDW’s Star Trek/Doctor Who—Assimilation2, which brought back Scott and David Tipton, accompanied by co-author Tony Lee and artists J.K. Woodward and Gordon Purcell.
IDW’s Star Trek issues #7–13 not only provided tie-ins to The Original Series and the Abrams films, but also reimagined a few classic episodes.
