A brand new announcement breaking from New York Comic-Con has licensed Trek comic book publisher IDW launching a prequel comic to the upcoming J.J. Abrams Star Trek Into Darkness. Comic Book News reported that IDW will be launching "Countdown to Darkness." sometime before the May 17, 2013 movie premier. As an added bonus, Bleeding Cool snapped the above blurry pic of the cover at NYCC. Does this tell us much about the new films possible villian, played by Benedict Cumberbatch? Not really... I still think he's going to play Landru...

In other news, Star Trek's George Takei lends his web-cred to the marketing for a brand new e-book called "The Perfect Burritto". We like burritos as much as the next carbon-based lifeform, but this is a little odd. Well, maybe George just really digs burritos... You can check out the video below.
