IDW Publishing

IDW is the latest comic book publisher to have obtained the Star Trek licence. They did so in 2006 with the first comics due in January 2007, celebrating TNG's 20th anniversary with a six part miniseries; The Space Between, set in TNG's first season. There are then plans for a TOS project and the license allows exploration of the entire Star Trek franchise including new characters and settings should IDW wish to develop a new series.
