From TrekToday.com:
"Former TNG actor and frequent Trek blogger Wil Wheaton announced this week he will be writing a story
to be included in the second volume of Star Trek: The Manga.
Wheaton couldn't yet reveal the title or contents of his story, but he was very open about his excitement.
"This came my way about a month ago," Wheaton wrote on his blog, "when Luis Reyes, the editor in charge of
the project, wrote to me that he'd heard I was into this sort of thing, and that I 'may be interested in
contributing. ' [...] As we've worked together, I've learned that Luis is all about the understatement. "
Like all stories in the first Star Trek: The Manga volume, Wheaton's story will be set in the Original
Series universe. According to Wheaton, he was initially terrified at the prospect of writing the
story, but then realised it would help him fulfill his ambition of becoming a writer. "Ultimately, I decided
that if I'm going to truly call myself a Writer, and if I'm truly going to write that novel someday, I've
got to tackle fiction sooner or later... and what better way to test myself than with characters and a
universe that I already know?"
The original Star Trek: The Manga was released by Managa distributor TokyoPop in September 2006. The
book featured five stories, written by contributors such as Joshua Ortega, Jim Alexander and Chris Dows,
several of whom had previously worked on regular Trek comics before."
Cool news. I liked the first Manga Trek book.
so that means the 2nd Manga will be TOS? I thought they were doing TNG for the next one.
That should be cool stuff.
I enjoyed the first manga. It was a bit jarring to see my trek done manga style, but it grew on me.
As for Wheaton, dont care for him, his politics, or Wesley Crusher, so its no big deal for me if he writes for the next or not. As long as its good, im ok with it.
