A few people already know about this, but now that contracts have been finalized and signed, I’m able to officially announce that the "new book project" I’ve referred to a few times over the last few weeks is:

STAR TREK: A Comics History

The book will be published by Hermes Press and is scheduled for release in May 2009.

The official press release about the project will be issued on Monday and the book will be listed in the February edition of PREVIEWS.

The image below is a design mock up for one of the possible covers.

May 2nd 2009 will be the date for next year’s FREE COMIC BOOK DAY, and the Gold Sponsor Titles have been announced.

Among them from BOOM Studios is a FCBD variant version of the first issue of CARS with words by me.

Here’s the official announcement.

Disney/Pixar’s Cars
Publisher: BOOM! Studios

Take a peek under the hood of BOOM! Studios’ line of Cars comics, based on the hit Disney/Pixar movie!

This issue includes an exciting exerpt from Cars #1, revealing the plucky origin of Lightning McQueen.

In addition, readers will be treated to never-before-seen sketches, character designs and script pages.
