American comics writer who scripted most of IDW's Star Trek output tied to the Kelvin films, from the prequel Countdown to the ongoing series and Boldly Go, plus Discovery and Picard tie-ins.
Mike Johnson worked with Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman and co-wrote, with Tim Jones, Star Trek: Countdown (2009), the comic prequel to the first Kelvin film that showed Spock, Nero and the destruction of Romulus.
From 2011 he wrote IDW's ongoing Star Trek series set aboard the Kelvin timeline Enterprise, which ran for sixty issues and at first retold Original Series episodes with the new cast. He also wrote Countdown to Darkness, Khan, the crossover with Green Lantern and the follow-up series Boldly Go.
With Kirsten Beyer he co-wrote comics linked to the newer shows, including the Discovery series The Light of Kahless and Picard: Countdown.
