Shatner’s famous character is the subject of one of CBS Television Studios’ biggest panels at this year’s Comic-Con. On Thursday, July 9 in Ballroom 20, Shatner will read excerpts from The Autobiography of James T. Kirk, a new novel by author David Goodman that retells Captain Kirk’s life story “from his boyhood on an Iowa farm and his youth spent on Tarsus IV, to his time in Starfleet Academy, his meteoric rise through the ranks of Starfleet and his illustrious career at the helm of the Enterprise.”

Halle Berry will also be appearing at Comic-Con alongside her new co-star, Jeffrey Dean Morgan to promote the second season of her CBS sci-fi drama, Extant. CBS is also bringing cast members from Under the Dome, Zoo, Limitless, and Scorpion to Comic-Con for spotlight panels in Ballroom 20.
