We mentioned Ryan North's new Marvel Comics series, Hulk Smash Everything, for December 2025. He's a busy boy, with Fantastic Four, One World Under Doom and the current Krypto series for DC Comics. But it looks like he may be in more demand as he also won this year's Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story or Comic last week, for Star Trek: Lower Decks: Warp Your Own Way, drawn by Chris Fenoglio, coloured by Charlie Kirchoff, lettered by Jeff Eckleberry, edited by Heather Antos and published by IDW last October. And looking at the preview below will give you an inkling into the complexity of this thing. Ryan North has form in this area of course, with the choose-your-own-adventure multiple pathway Shakespeare adaptations To Be Or Not To Be, Romeo And/Or Juliet and Squirrel Girl.
Star Trek: Lower Decks―Warp Your Own Way
by Ryan North, Chris Fenoglio
Warp into the action with Star Trek's first-ever interactive original graphic novel! Mariner just wants to have a normal day, but no matter what side of the bed she wakes up on, the world is ending. Literally. If she has coffee, Borg attack! If she has raktajino, cue the Romulan boarding party! And in each scenario, Mariner and her friends end up dead, sometimes the ship is destroyed—and the day starts all over again. But by exploring the different paths, you, the reader, can discover things that Mariner can't. There are inconsistencies that don't make sense—putting aside the fact that Mariner's choice of drink each morning shouldn't affect which alien races attack the ship, other facts of her world seem to change too. Something is definitely off. It's up to you to discover!
