Star Trek The Next Generation IDW 20/20 preview

Out this week is the sorely-in-need-of-a-catchier-title Star Trek: The Next Generation - IDW 20:20, a Stargazer-era Picard (and Crushers) tale released as part of IDW's 20th anniversary celebration. The 20:20 event includes one shots from several IDW titles, taking us either twenty years before or after the normal time setting of each series. So this Stargazer story is of course some twenty years before TNG proper.

The book sees the return of Peter David, writing his first Star Trek comic in a decade! And the story is illustrated by J.K Woodward, who also provides the main cover. A retail incentive cover is also available, by Gabriel Rodriguez (with colour by Nelson Daniel).
