On Trek Signal, Nora Reed covers major franchise news as Skydance merges its Paramount and Warner Bros. games and experiences divisions, impacting IPs like Star Trek. We also look at the Star Trek 60th anniversary celebrations at New York Comic Con, including William Shatner and Ben Stiller, and the premiere of "The Sixty-Year Mission" documentary. Plus, exciting new comic book projects are announced: Timothy Zahn pens a Deep Space Nine graphic novel, and Gates McFadden writes a Star Trek: Crusher limited series.
