Aftermath to Explore Spock's Past with Burnham

Kirsten Beyer, Mike Johnson and Tony Shasteen, the writing tandem and artist behind IDW publishing's acclaimed Star Trek: Discovery - The Light of Kahless, have joined forces again for Star Trek: Discovery - Aftermath, an upcoming three-issue comic-book miniseries that examines the repercussions of the Star Trek: Discovery second-season finale. Aftermath puts the spotlight on Spock, who - even as L'Rell and Pike strive to broker peace - contends with what happened to Michael Burnham and the mysteries about his sister and her past remaining to be unraveled.

“The new series shows how Pike, Spock, L’Rell, and the rest of the cast deal with the fallout from the mind-blowing events of Season Two,” Johnson said in a statement. “And we couldn’t be happier that Tony Shasteen is beaming back onboard for this story!”

“To be able to follow up on the huge status-quo shift presented in that finale is a dream come true, especially with a team as talented as Kirsten, Mike, and Tony,” said IDW editor Chase Marotz. “In terms of fitting into the broader universe presented in Discovery, this new series is perhaps our most essential yet, and I can't wait for everybody to see what we've got in store for them.”
