Star Trek: Lower Decks #1 Preview Reveals the Cerritos Crew's Next Mission

As a longtime fan of Star Trek and someone who has spent countless hours poring over comics, I can confidently say that this new series of Lower Decks is a delightful blend of humor and familiar Star Trek lore. The creative team seems to have struck the perfect balance between poking fun at the franchise while staying true to its spirit.

In a few weeks, the fifth and concluding season of “Star Trek: Lower Decks” will premiere, but the U.S.S. Cerritos’ voyages won’t end there! A fresh Star Trek: Lower Decks comic book series is being launched by IDW Publishing to keep the adventures going. This ongoing series is being overseen by Eisner Award-winning writer Ryan North, who has penned the previous Star Trek: Lower Decks comic book miniseries and an upcoming interactive graphic novel for the franchise. The new Star Trek: Lower Decks comic book series will commence in November, as revealed exclusively by egmr.ru (you can check out the first issues below).

In a press release, North expressed his enthusiasm for the new “Lower Decks” series by IDW, stating it as his favorite Star Trek. He has viewed every available episode, excluding one he refuses to disclose. This sparks curiosity: could this comic contain anything that contradicts that hidden episode? Fortunately, the creative team behind “Lower Decks”, both at IDW and Paramount, have proven to be exceptional, ensuring no such contradictions. The comic promises to deliver a large-hearted, humorous book filled with grand sci-fi concepts, meaningful character progression, Star Trek’s signature flavor, and plenty of jokes. Fans of “Lower Decks” are certain to enjoy this comic!

Following their Eisner nomination for the “Lower Decks” spinoff titled “Shax’s Best Day,” the talented pairing of Ryan North and Derek Charm have embarked upon a fresh, continuous series brimming with excitement. This journey unfolds onboard a delightful vessel – a grand adventure aboard a grand ship!

In the scenario, it was Dr. T’Ana who swiftly treated and healed the crew from an aggressive, boiling-purple illness, although in reality, they were all cured rather rapidly.

Alright… it appears that the communication from Deep Space 2 suddenly stopped unexpectedly, leading to a brief concern about the crew needing assistance. However, upon closer inspection, it turned out they merely required help in resetting their communication systems.

Indeed, in a different phraseology:

If the U.S.S. Bonaventure hadn’t reappeared from the Delta Triangle, they wouldn’t have had a genuine challenge. Let’s venture into this supposedly haunted vessel now!
