IDW Publishing will launch Star Trek: Khan, a new six-issue miniseries that will reveal the origin of Khan, in October.  The origin story will occur during the Eugenics wars, when Khan leaves Earth aboard the Botany Bay to be awakened by Admiral Marcus in the future. 

Star Trek: Khan will be overseen by Star Trek Into Darkness screenwriter Roberto Orci, written by Mike Johnson with art by Claudia Balboni.
