Before being tapped to write the Star Trek preview comic Star Trek: Countdown for IDW Publishing with fellow Orci/Kurtzman employee Tim Jones, Mike Johnson's comic resume was limited to work for DC Comics on their Titans and Superman/Batman comics and a story in their 2008 Halloween special. Johnson and Jones subsequently wrote Star Trek: Nero and the Star Trek: The Official Motion Picture Adaptation. He writes Star Trek: Ongoing for IDW, tying into the films set in the alternate reality.
