Archaia and Roddenberry Productions Announce Full Creative Dream Team Behind
'Days Missing'

EACH ISSUE WILL FEATURE EXCLUSIVE COVERS BY THREE DIFFERENT ARTISTS

LOS ANGELES, June 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Exemplifying their commitment to produce
sophisticated, intelligent and entertaining science fiction, Archaia and
Roddenberry Productions announced the remaining creative teams on Days
Missing, a highly anticipated, five-issue comic book mini-series debuting in
August.

The talent line-up includes a buzz-worthy mix of industry veterans and notable
up-and-comers who will each add their unique interpretation to the Days
Missing universe. The previously announced creative team of writer Phil Hester
and artist Frazer Irving on issue #1 will return to work on the last issue of
the mini-series to provide a fitting bookend to the project.

Based on the concept by Roddenberry Productions executive Trevor Roth, Days
Missing tells the stories of a mysterious being known only as "The Steward."
His ability to literally "fold" days of time has allowed him to secretly
remove critical days from our shared history that have forever changed the
course of mankind.

"In the Roddenberry tradition of producing stories of a cerebral and
substantive nature, our hero 'The Steward' goes on a legendary voyage that
shapes the history of humanity," said Roth. "We are thrilled to collaborate
with a team of immensely talented artists and creators that will enliven this
character and his historic adventures with their unique adaptations."

"Series editor Rob Levin has assembled such a great team of creators from both
within and outside of the Archaia family," said Stephen Christy, Archaia's
Director of Development. "The scripts and artwork that have been coming in
have simply been amazing. This is a series I don't think fans of Roddenberry,
Star Trek or Archaia are going to want to miss."

The complete list of teams is as follows:

Issue #1
Writer: Phil Hester (The Darkness)
Artist: Frazer Irving (Batman and Robin)

Issue #2
Writer: David Hine (Batman: Battle for the Cowl)
Artist: Chris Burnham (X-Men: Divided We Stand)

Issue #3
Writer: Ian Edginton (Stormwatch)
Artist: Lee Moder (Legion of Super-Heroes)

Issue #4
Writer: Matz (The Killer)
Artist: Hugo Petrus (Wolverine: First Class)

Issue #5
Writer: Phil Hester (Firebreather)
Artist: Frazer Irving (Azrael: Death's Dark Knight)

Dale Keown (Pitt) will provide the key cover art for each issue. In addition,
Irving and the interior artist of each issue will provide limited-edition
covers.

In an effort to give as many readers an opportunity to discover this exciting
new mini-series, the full-length, full-color issue #1 will be available for
just 99 cents when it arrives in stores this August. Also, an exclusive,
limited-edition Keown cover version for issue #1 will be on sale for $5 at the
Archaia (#2635) and Roddenberry Productions (#2734) booths at San Diego
Comic-Con (July 23-26).

2:30 to 3:30 p.m. in Room 3 at San Diego Comic-Con. For the latest information
