IDW publisher of Star Trek: Countdown and many other Star Trek Comics is now the third largest comics publisher according to Diamond Comics Distributors.

"This is a huge milestone for us, and the culmination of a decade of hard work by the many different people who have contributed to IDW over the years," said Ted Adams, CEO of IDW. "We have a lot to be proud of as a company, and this is clearly a great beginning to our second decade." Throughout its history, IDW has strived to offer a wide array of comic books, graphic novels and classic books in every major entertainment genre.
