For Honor, Friend. With the new Star Trek movie just around the corner, there is the potential for the franchise to spring to life once again, with fans, new and old, looking for the further adventures of Wagon Train in Space.  Instead of always reading the future adventures through the eyes of the Federation, IDW Publishing’s Alien Spotlight series takes a look at some of the more well known non-human characters.  This week, the bright light shines upon the Klingons, and a long lived warrior.

Guillermo del Toro confirmed to MTV News that hellboy creator Mike Mignoloa was coming on board the Hobbit production team to help out with early visualizations for the film.  Having seen del Toro’s take on Hellboy and knowing the two can create some rather twisted and scary images, I’m hopeful the Orcs come out of their caves with some badass designs that scare me as much as the Rankin-Bass design did when I was a wee tot. via Splash Page
