'Star Trek: Lower Decks' is getting the comic book treatment from 'The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl' author Ryan North and IDW.
The Star Trek franchise is no stranger to the realm of comics. Marvel, DC, Malibu, and more have all tried their hand at bringing the crew of The Enterprise and the wider universe surrounding it to life in a new form. With its epic, space-faring adventures, it feels like a natural fit to have the franchise translated to the dynamic medium. Now, the franchise's comedic branch, Star Trek: Lower Decks, is getting the comic book treatment on September 14.
Adapted by the Eisner Award-winning author of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Ryan North, the Star Trek: Lower Decks comics bring the lower deckers on a planetary expedition of epic proportions. Captain Freeman leads her crew aboard the USS Cerritos on a planetary expedition in an effort to build bridges and advance technology for the Federation. As they venture out though, Freeman becomes wary of the planet and the intentions of its inhabitants.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY A pair of covers for the first issue shows off the quartet of lovable dregs Brad Boimler, Beckett Mariner, Samanthan Rutherford, and D'Vana Tendi as they prepare for their latest adventure, each with wildly different reactions to that notion, all with the caption "Rarely going where no one has gone before," which accurately describes the misery of working on the lower decks.
With Season 3 of the Paramount+ series expected out this summer, the Star Trek: Lower Decks comics will release at a perfect time to give fans more of their favorite crew members after they get through the new season. The series stars Tawny Newsome, Jack Quaid, Eugene Cordero, and Noël Wells and comes from Solar Opposites co-creator Mike McMahan.
Star Trek: Lower Decks is streaming now on Paramount+. Check out the pair of covers for the first issue below.
