Users in the U.S. and Canada who have expressed interest in Star Trek by liking the official page or related content may see a personalised greeting on their news feed which offers a custom profile frame. The original “Like” button remains the same, but with some added sparkles. Trekkies might also be invited to change their profile picture with a custom “Star Trek” frame.

“When we caught wind that Star Trek would be celebrating 50 years this month, it got our wheels turning”.
Coming to the convention, which is a celebration of all things Trek (in collaboration with CBS Consumer Products), will be IDW’s Editor-in-Chief Chris Ryall, group editor Sarah Gaydos, Trek comics writer Mike Johnson, artist Derek Charm, and very special guest superstar artist John Byrne.
