« Fans, and numerous Targathian babies, have cried out for us to bring Galaxy Quest to comics, and we’re all too happy to oblige, » says Chris Ryall, IDW’s Publisher/Editor-in-Chief.
« Let’s face it. Is there anyone who saw Galaxy Quest that didn’t come away wondering about the continuing adventures of Jason, Sir Alex, Gwen, Tommy, Guy and Fred and Jane? » asks writer Scott Lobdell. « We’ve pined away for a sequel long enough! Now we’re going to learn what became of these actors after their first greatest adventure together. Yes, they are excited about the re-launch of the franchise that made them cult icons, but don’t think for a moment that success has quelled their quirkiness. And when they have to suit up again, and take the Protector out of orbit…? Let’s just say experience isn’t going to make their jobs any easier! »
Galaxy Quest: Global Warning #1, a 32-page, full-color comic book, debuts in August ’08.
