IDW is releasing a comic book prequel for Star Trek Into Darkness, called Countdown to Darkness, written by Mike Johnson with a story by Roberto Orci. It is an official prequel comic to the movie and works to bridge the gap between the first film and the second. The cover to #4, the final in the miniseries, shows a Klingon warrior with the much debated helmet. The comic comes out in April and the film in May. Could it be setting the Klingons up for a big role for Into Darkness? Time will tell. What do you think?

Chronicles female superhero’s life as a young Amazonian, before she becomes a warrior princess with super powers. Iris, comes from a remote, secluded country and until now has spent most of her life as a soldier and a leader on the battlefield. Because of relentless brutality of her life at home, Iris looks at our world with absolute awe and astonishment. She’s delighted -and just as often horrified – by the aspects of everyday life that we take for granted: skyscrapers, traffic, ice cream. It’s all new and fascinating and sometimes slightly troubling – to her. Iris is completely unschooled in our world, our culture, our customs. And she’s completely inexperienced at interpersonal relationships. She has no social filter, does not suffer fools, and tends to do and say exactly what’s on her mind at all times. She’s bluntly, refreshingly honest. She can tell when you’re lying to her. And she doesn’t have time or patience for politics or tact because she’s too busy trying to experience everything our world has to offer. There are too many sights to see – and things to learn – and people to care for. Hers is a true, noble, and generous heart. And she will fight and die for the people she loves. Iris is a fierce warrior with the innocent heart of a romantic – and she will fight to the death to make the world safe for innocents and true romantics everywhere.

“There’s always a possibility for Shazam. There’s always talk about Shazam. And I can’t get into the specifics on that, but yeah, there’s hope for Shazam,”

he told Newsarama.

Warner Bros was reported to have hired Johns and Bill Birch to pen a screenplay based on the project. Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson was previously linked with the film, but the part he was in line to play was never disclosed.

Johns is currently writing the ‘The Curse of Shazam!‘ back-up feature, which will run in DC‘s Justice League from issue #7. According to the scribe, the strip is tonally similar to the work he has completed on the movie.

“It’s got some elements that I pitched in there, and some of the same characters, obviously, because the characters cross over,”

he added.

“Tonally, it’s probably pretty close.”

Shazam! tells the story of teenager Billy Batson, who is granted a special ability by the wizard Shazam that transforms him into a superpowered adult.
