It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of “Lucid,” the soon-to-hit-shelves comic written by “True Blood” actor Michael McMillian and illustrated by newcomer Anna Wieszczyk. The first project to come out of a partnership between publisher Archaia Entertainment and “Star Trek” actor Zachary Quinto’s media house Before The Door Pictures, “Lucid” made its debut during Comic-Con last weekend, and the first issue will officially hit shelves in August.

I managed to get some time with McMillian and Quinto in San Diego to talk about the comic, the origin of the “Lucid” universe, and what attracted Quinto to the project.

“‘Lucid’ takes place in an alternate universe where major world powers have combat mages — magicians that are working for them as secret agents, fighting the good fight, protecting national security and also overseeing the more paranormal things that go on in the world,” explained McMillian.

And while the story manages to blend equal parts magic, espionage, and action, Quinto said it was the historical reference points that first attracted him to the project.

“The interesting thing to me…is the lineage of Matthew Dee tracing back to John Dee, who is a historical figure,” said Quinto of the comic’s main character, combat magician Matthew Dee.

“In renaissance England, they had a court magician for Elizabeth I,” explained McMillian. “The idea [for 'Lucid'] came from this secret tradition of magicians working for heads of state and kings and queens, and I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool if Barack Obama had an ass-kicking magician working for him?’”

‘I can’t wait to go back,’ actor said of sequel while attending San Diego Comic-Con.

Though Zachary Quinto is at San Diego Comic-Con to promote “Lucid,” the first comic from his production company, Before the Door Pictures, which debuted at the Con, he was willing to shed some light on the upcoming “Star Trek 2.”

There isn’t much known about the sequel, though writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman told MTV News that they’re “making significant process on the story.” Quinto, who was joined by “Lucid” creator and author Michael McMillian at the convention, said he is ready for anything the writers throw at him.

“I can’t wait to go back. We have a while until we’re going to do another one. It probably won’t be until next year at this time,” he said, debunking rumors that filming would start in January.

J.J. Abrams, who directed 2009′s “Star Trek,” hasn’t confirmed that he will be directing the sequel, but Quinto said he would still be onboard even if Abrams isn’t.

“I have a lot of trust and gratitude and respect for J.J. [Abrams] and Damon Lindelof and for Bob Orci and Alex Kurtzman. They know what they’re doing,” Quinto said. “I would obviously love to see J.J. directing every ‘Star Trek’ movie that I’m ever a part of, but if it’s not the case, I’m sure whoever does will be someone he’s chosen for whatever reason. They know what’s up. I just show up where they tell me to show up and stand on a piece of tape.”

When asked if there might be a Spock-versus-Khan confrontation in the film, Quinto avoided the question by pretending he was asked if there would be a Con, in the film. “Actually, ‘Star Trek 2′ takes place at Comic-Con. Have you gotten an advance copy of the script? Unacceptable,” the actor joked.

Quinto continued, “I don’t know man, I don’t know. I’m just excited. My focus is elsewhere and I know that when the time is right and they want me to be involved again … Until then, I love to let them do their thing because I know that what they’re doing is really exciting but also really fun. They’re good people.”
