Hot on the heels of this year's San Diego Comic Con comes the first look at the new faces of some familiar friends.

But is it logical?

The latest issue of Entertainment Weekly has the goods on many a new film product that'll be showing its stuff at this year's San Diego Comic Con, which includes a few tantalizing snaps at J.J. Abrams controversial re-imagining of the original Star Trek cast.  Unfortunately, while head studio Paramount always sees fit to release new Star Trek films, they never really go the distance when it comes to supporting them.  The film (and nearly all promotion) will be absent from the show, save for a few choice handouts to nerds and fans alike.  The four different images available will, when placed together, form the famous Star Fleet Insignia you see just below.  Peachy keen.

Clockwise we have Eric Bana as Nero, Zoe Saldana as the new Uhura, Zachary Quinto as the new Spock (love the ears), and of course Chris Pine in what's got to be the least enviable job in the universe, replacing William Shatner as James T. Kirk.  Sorry about the first (and thus far, only) blurred up image from the newly recast Enterprise Crew, but if you're wanting more and don't want to wait until the film drops next summer, go bug Paramount.  Personally, this one has Winter Holiday Release all over it, and it would be sad to see yet another Trek fail at the box office due to mishandling.

Special thanks to EW.com for the image!
