Star Trek: Alien Spotlight II is a comics miniseries to be published by IDW Publishing starting in March 2009. It will be a follow-up series to the original Alien Spotlight and like the original will consist of several issues thematically linked in that they each feature a certain alien race, but otherwise unconnected; each being produced by a different creative team.
Two of the six issues have a confirmed subject and creative team. The rest of the species to be features and creators have been suggested, but different sources suggest some changes may have occurred; The first details of series were announced in issue 138 of the Star Trek Magazine which revealed four species; Klingons, Tholians, Ferengi and Betazoids. The article also revealed writers for the series would include Keith R.A. Decandio, Scott and David Tipton, Mike W. Barr, James Patrick and Andrew Steven Harris.
Later internet forum posts by some of the writers revealed DeCandido would be writing the Klingon issue, with art by J.K. Woodward and that Andrew Steven Harris would be writing the Ferengi issue. Additionally the omnibus book of the first Alien Spotlight included an advert which indicated a further species in the series, the Q.
Finally in July 2008 the series was announced to be starting early in 2009, as opposed to the originally planned autumn 2008. An article on TrekMovie.com suggested at that time only two of the issues had been confirmed, DeCandido's Klingon issue and the Q issue to be written by the Tiptons. Solicitations for the first issue revealed the subject of Tribbles, to be written by Stuart Moore, with art by Mike Hawthorne. The rest of the series has so far remained unconfirmed and undetermined.
