quote:As the legendary Star Trek franchise approaches its 40th anniversary, we are proud to announce the launch of a brand-new bi-monthly STAR TREK MAGAZINE, which will take fans further into the Star Trek universe than ever before, with exclusive interviews, features and behind the scenes access.
Available bi-monthly from August 22, STAR TREK MAGAZINE will be the first place for fans to discover the latest news and updates on future projects direct from the studio and producers each issue. In Issue #1 we ask you to join us at the Captain�s Table as we interview every Star Trek Captain, from Kirk to Archer, and see if you have what it takes to be a Starfleet Captain! Cartoonist Dave Reddick and Star Trek Insider Dave Rossi bring us their regular Star Trek columns, we celebrate the 40 Reasons We Love Star Trek, and we look back at a classic episode in Flashback!
Plus, each issue of the magazine will feature more exclusive interviews with cast and production crew members, retrospective features, news on the latest merchandise, the inside scoop on the latest Star Trek projects, Star Trek questions answered, columns by Star Trek experts and insiders and much, much more.
Interesting, but I'm not all that enthused by what they've said about it. Personally, I'm more into the art (especially concept art) and tech stuff, not interviews.

That just sounds to me like it's a US release of the Star Trek monthly we've been getting over here for years. If that's the case, I wouldn't get too excited...unless it's changed in recent years, all it will be is a bunch of superficial interviews that repeat what you already know and letters from casual fans that repeat what you already know.

I used to subscribe to "Star Trek: The Magazine" a few years ago. Still have the nifty T-shirt.

I used to love Star Trek Magazine, but unfortunately I discovered it a few months before it was cancelled. This new one sounds alot like Star Trek Communicator than the original magazine. I hope that they include some content on starships like tech stuff and concept art ( or generally any info on the Trek universe) since I too found that to be the meat of the magazine.

The Communicator was the original magazine, Mars. I have issues of that going back to the beggining of TNG.Star Trek: The Magazine didn't start until much, much later.

I didn't mean that it was the original magazine for Trek as in first published for the show, I meant that the "New" ST Magazine would not have anything in common with the the "original" Star Trek Magazine.

Yegh. It smells of Star Trek Monthly, which is an el-cheapo publication with zero interesting features. I don't need more interviews by actors and directors telling me how wonderful and nice the shows were.

Still, it's not (quite) as lame as the Magazine schlocking out pie-charts of the percentage of new worlds/Federation worlds Kirk visited on TOS or ten articles on how many diffrent uniform variants he wore...
A nice (quarterly) starship/technology mag would be best. With a reader gallery. And a "best Trek websites" section.

Hell the people on this board could probably line the pages with enough treknobabble to kill a moose.
