It was one of the worst-kept secrets in science fiction cinema, but yes, Khan is, in fact, the villain in this summer’s Star Trek Into Darkness. Khan Noonien Singh, also known as “KHAAAAAAN!!!,” is one of the most popular characters ever introduced into the Star Trek universe, and thanks to Benedict Cumberbatch’s awesome portrayal of the character, interest in the genetically enhanced super villain has greatly increased.

Now, IDW Comics plans to reveal the origins of Khan in an upcoming 6-issue miniseries called Star Trek: Khan, from the publisher’s ongoing Star Trek series team of writer Mike Johnson and artist Claudia Balboni. Star Trek Into Darkness screenwriter Roberto Orci will oversee the project.
