IDW Publishing

IDW Publishing (also known as IDW Comics and Idea & Design Works) is an American comic book company founded in 1999 by Robbie Robbins and Ted Adams, specializing in comics based on TV and movie franchises, such as CSI, Angel, Galaxy Quest, and 24. IDW began releasing Star Trek issues in 2007.

The company currently holds the licenses for Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Lower Decks, and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds comics, as well as comics set in the alternate reality of Star Trek (2009).

Following a successful run of miniseries, four releases in 2008 were announced under the umbrella title Star Trek: Second Stage (although this title only appeared on issues of Star Trek: New Frontier - Turnaround, a tie-in to the novel series). IDW has since made Star Trek: Resurgence to tie into the video game of the same name.

In 2022, IDW launched an original comic series featuring characters from previous Star Trek series. This series had the spin-offs Star Trek: Defiant and Star Trek: Sons of Star Trek and the cross-over event Star Trek: Day of Blood,

Footnotes[]

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 A prequel to Star Trek (2009), albeit set in the prime timeline.
  2. ↑ Treated as a separate release for sales purposes.
  3. ↑ Does not form part of the series proper.
  4. ↑ 4.0 4.1 4.2 Sales figures for an anthology work like Alien Spotlight or Captain's Log vary significantly, depending on the individual subject matter.
  5. ↑ 5.0 5.1 This figure represents combined sales figures from May and June 2008. A problem with IDW deliveries to Diamond's distribution center saw this issue's release to stores on the US East Coast delayed by one week, taking it into June.
  6. ↑ This late March release appeared in April's sales charts. There is, therefore, the possibility of some sales in March that were below that month's Top 300 threshold of ~2,100 copies.
  7. ↑ This late December 2009 release appeared in January 2010's sales charts. There is the distinct possibility of additional sales in December that were below that month's Top 300 threshold of ~3,400 copies.

iTunes[]

In December 2008, it was announced that IDW would begin publishing comics in digital format, via Apple's iTunes Store, beginning with the first issue in the Best of Peter David reprint collection, "A Rude Awakening!". The remaining issues that make up that collection are to follow. [2] The individual issues of Star Trek: Countdown were also released via iTunes, with "Countdown, Number Three" and "Countdown, Number Four" being released on the same day as their physical counterparts – a first for the digital format.
