IDW to Produce Comic Book Adaptation of New Star Trek Movie
 


Roddenberry.com posted an interview with Star Trek comic book artist Joe Corroney, in which revealed IDW will be doing a comic book adaptation of the new Star Trek movie prequel, and that he'll liking be doing covers for it. Corroney is also hoping IDW wants him do some interior work. He did the covers for previous Star Trek mini-series such as Year Four. Here is an excerpt from the article.

According to Roddenberry.com, "he has also been working on the upcoming new series in the Star Trek line, Star Trek: The Next Generation Intelligence Gathering. He also told me a tidbit that I was very glad to hear, that IDW WILL be doing a comic book version of next year's Star Trek: XI!"

"Joe is not entirely sure at this stage what part he will play in the project, but believes he will be assigned to do the covers, and he is hoping that this project will be his doorway back into interior panel-to-panel work, as he has told IDW that he would be very interested in having that chance. He recently even met J.J. Abrams and gave him some of his work, and J.J. liked what he saw. As a fan, I hope Joe's bosses will open that door for him. After the interview, I can say that Joe is one person who when given a chance can definitely make opportunities work in his favor. If you have to "ride the wave" in the comic industry, Joe has proven he knows how to hang ten!

 



 

 

 

sQuba: World's First Underwater Car

by Lisa Zyga

 

 
A Swiss company called Rinspeed has recently announced its newest project: an underwater car. Named "sQuba," the car can both drive on roads, and then - at the push of a button - dive up to 10 meters (33 feet) under the sea.
Rinspeed describes sQuba as the world's first real car to drive both on land and underwater, thanks to some cutting-edge technology. The car has a steel chassis, while its lightweight body panels are made of carbon nanotubes.
 
An electric motor provides rear-wheel drive while on roads. Underwater, two propellers in the stern and two jet drives in the bow propel the "amphibious" vehicle. With zero emissions, the design is even environmentally friendly, eliminating any pollution into the sea.

The two-seater also includes a self-contained on-board oxygen system to supply the driver and passenger with fresh air for breathing.

Rinspeed CEO Frank Rinderknecht admits that part of the inspiration for the underwater car comes from the 1977 James Bond hit "The Spy Who Loved Me." The sQuba concept symbolizes the realization of this fantasy that once sparked his imagination.

"And exactly thirty years later this amazing - yet at the time animated - film sequence materializes and becomes reality, in today's world," said Rinderknecht.

The sQuba car will be presented at the Geneva Motor Show, which runs from March 6-16, 2008. However, mass-production of the car is not planned for the foreseeable future.

No it is not the "X-File" TV show, but it is based on the fact that for decades newspapers, radio, magazines, television and even motion picture producers have made a commotion    as to any discussion of their nature, their origins, their significance and, indeed, their very existence. Silent hovering, silent high-speed flight, extreme acceleration, supersonic flight at low altitude without sonic booms, and violent, very high-g maneuvers. Are these manufactured, high-tech vehicles Ours or... It has led to long-term arguments that have yet to reach any generally agreed upon conclusion.
