Hooray! We have our first clip from one of the most breathlessly antipated movies of the year, Star Trek Into Darkness. Unfortunately, a lot of fans saw this back in December – yes, legally – so for us it isn’t exactly new, but still! And speaking of familiar, you’ll be seeing and hearing a very familiar line from a previous-timeline Star Trek movie…

By the way, that’s not me being clever with the clip title, that’s the title given by Paramount PR. Still, I think I like it.

If you’ve acquired and read the movie prequel comic, you’ll also note a familiar theme arising in the clip. If you haven’t read or even heard about the movie prequel comic, it’s entitled Star Trek: Countdown to Darkness. I have it, I’ve read it, I love it, and I feel even more fully prepared for the movie. It isn’t movie-spoilery at all, it just tells a story that takes place between the time between the first movie and the one coming up. Now available as a single bound edition, it’s also available in four separate comics.

I read the prequel comic to the first movie (Star Trek), entitled Star Trek: Countdown, before that movie premiered, and I found it really enhanced my movie experience, so you may want to check it out the new prequel; here’s the link:
