/> If you want more details, you’ll have to read the series — and see the film.

"This is obviously a movie that is a big, big event, and information is almost on a lockdown basis,” says Scott Dunbier, who helms IDW’s "Star Trek” comics.

Though he just took over the line, it’s familiar territory for Dunbier. He edited several "Trek” comics for a few months when he joined IDW last spring and also was involved with the franchise while working at WildStorm, which previously held the license to publish "Star Trek” comics.

Despite having to navigate studio approvals and dealing with characters who have decades of history on TV and in film, "it really isn’t any different than editing other comics,” he says.

The key is staying true to the nature of those characters, he says.

"These characters are universal characters; these characters are icons, especially the characters going back to the first series.”
