Romulans, Not Vulcans Make First Contact in Deviations

IDW Publishing has given several of their popular comic book series -- including Transformers, The X-Files and G.I. Joe -- the alternate-timeline treatment via their Deviations one-shots. And now it's Star Trek's turn, or it will be come March 2017.

Here's the synopsis of Star Trek: Deviations:

In a world where the Romulans discovered Earth before the Vulcans, Earth is now a brutal penal colony. Resistance fighter William Riker has uncovered a vast conspiracy, and together with his band of prisoner outlaws (you just might recognize a few), must fight to rescue a mysterious prisoner in the darkest level of the Romulan dungeons. The only man on Earth that still holds the key to humanity’s return to the stars.

Written by Donny Cates, with art and a cover by Josh Hood, Star Trek: Deviations will run 40 pages and cost $4.99.
