Gene Roddenberry Productions Jumps Into Comics
Gene Roddenberry is best known as the creator of Star Trek, but he's also know for being a prolific Sci-fi writer. With that said, Gene Roddenberry productions has produced several non-trek series and is now jumping into the world of comic books.
As reported MTV's Splash Page, Gene Roddenberry Productions has created a brand new comic called 'Days Missing' featuring a new character that has the ability to remove full days from history.
Gene Roddenberry, the man best known for laying the foundations of the “Star Trek” universe, left more behind when he died in 1991 than the landmark sci-fi franchise currently being remastered by J.J. Abrams. The company he founded, Gene Roddenberry Productions, also left its mark on television with series like “Earth: Final Conflict” and “Andromeda.”
Now, the inheritors of the fanboy-sacred Roddenberry name are moving into comics, launching a series titled “Days Missing” with Archaia.
“Building on the science fiction legacy of the Star Trek franchise, we are excited to make a unique contribution to the comic book landscape with this extraordinary series,” Roddenberry Productions executive Trevor Roth said in a press release. “We’ve assembled some of the best talent in the industry to deliver a great comic book that we hope will captivate fans.”
Arachaia’s creative team assigned to the first issue includes well-known names such as current “The Darkness” writer Phil Hester and artists Frazer Irving and Dale Keown.
The comic will follow a mysterious main character called the The Steward with the ability to remove full days from history that have held importance for mankind. As the sci-fi faithful know, anything involving time manipulation always results in chain reactions and unexpected consequences. (source MTV's Splash Page)
