Star Trek Lower Decks Returns in November From IDW as Ongoing Series

Ryan North and Derek Charm return to an ongoing comic book series for Star Trek: Lower Decks from IDW Publishing.

Announced at San Diego Comic-Con but possibly missed in, let's face it, a huge amount of comic book news at the show, IDW Publishing is bringing back Star Trek: Lower Decks, but as an ongoing series rather than a mini-series. With one of the best writers in comics, Ryan North and artist Derek Charm, who is also pretty good. But seriously, have you read Ryan's Fantastic Four of late? It is next level.

Ryan North says "LOWER DECKS is my favorite STAR TREK, and I have seen every single STAR TREK there is to see, except for one episode I will never reveal," commented North. "This raises the obvious question: will something in this comic contradict something that I missed in that one episode I never saw? Thankfully the answer is no, because the entire LOWER DECKS team – both at IDW and Paramount – has been so amazing – supportive, clever, brilliant. We're making a big funny heartfelt book with huge sci-fi ideas, important character developments, tons of that Trek flavor, and a bunch of jokes, too. If you love LOWER DECKS, you'll love this comic!#

The ongoing series will feature episodic storytelling with each tale presented by a different artist. North cannot wait for fans to see how the book looks, and he's thrilled to have Charm drawing the debut story. "I get to team up with some of my favorite artists for this book, starting with DEREK CHARM, who we last teamed up with on the Eisner-winning Unbeatable Squirrel Girl and on the Eisner-nominated SHAXS' BEST DAY. He is: the best."

"Just when you thought we couldn't go lower… we're BACK with the first ever ONGOING LOWER DECKS series," proudly stated IDW Group Editor Heather Antos. "Just like the fans out there, we too want more LOWER DECKS and this time we're giving it to you tenfold! Ryan North is showing us just how deep of a Trek nerd he is with these stories, and paired with the comedic geniuses of Derek Charm, Jack Lawrence and more on art duties for a rotating cast of 'episodic' issues, this series is a mission so fun that even the Lower Deckers themselves won't want to miss it!"

Despite some YouTube grifter claims, IDW recently reupped its license with Paramount for Star Trek and more comic book series into 2025.
