Written and photo-manipulated by John Byrne.
Andrea, Ruk, Exo III — names that conjure grim memories for James Kirk. What, then, happens when the killer androids start showing up by the dozen? Plus, a special guest star who’s bound to surprise!
As if that cover isn't sufficiently eye-catching, John Byrne also posted a preview page from this issue on his forums:

In other comics news, the fourth book in IDW's Gold Key Archives is due out in October, and Amazon have revealed the cover art for that already (albeit not at greatly impressive resolution). This volume collects remastered versions of issues nineteen to twenty-four, of the first ever Star Trek comics series.

And finally, speaking of early adventures of the Enterprise, in another forum posting by John Byrne, he revealed he has been working on a straight photo-comic adaptation of The Cage. It started as a bit of fun, as likeness approvals would be problematic, but he's sent the now complete thing to IDW just in case, as he explained:
Too many actors from those shows did not sign off on the use of their likenesses, and now they are dead! Peter Duryea and John Hoyt, for instance. Still, didn't stop me dummying up a splash page for an adaptation of THE CAGE. Showing it here doesn't break any rules.
Because I am, you know, ME, I went ahead and did the full adaptation of "The Cage." Runs to fifty pages! Now in Chris Ryall's hands, as he sets about determining whether there is a way around the issue of likenesses, and this could actually be published as a "special" for the 50th next year.
If that doesn't happen, I'll serialize it here in the Forum, but, well, I'd like to see a for real version out there!
Here's a sample page to show how I am stitching the images together, as well as some of the editing made necessary by the comicbook format.
