Star Trek: Lower Decks
Solicitation: All-New Ongoing Series! Wherein Dr. T'Ana saves the crew from a virulent, purple-boiled disease that is sure to--Wait, no, everyone's cured pretty quickly, actually. Okay... wherein Deep Space 2's distress call is mysteriously cut off and the crew has to--Wait, nope, they just needed some help resetting their comms systems. All right, wherein Mariner gets so totally frustrated with the lack of thrills aboard the Cerritos that she drags her friends into a holodeck adventure that would definitely kill them in reality! Should totally provide them all with a sense of purpose and well-being, right? Right. Or at least it would have. If the U.S.S. Bonaventure hadn't shown back up from the Delta Triangle to provide them with a real challenge. It's time to explore a ghost ship, baby!

#2 Dec 2024
Star Trek: Lower Decks
Solicitation: Mariner, T'Lyn, Rutherford, and Tendi have beamed off the mysterious USS Bonaventure and onto an equally mysterious surface of an unknown world, significantly raising the statistical likelihood of death and injury! Finally, the crew is up to their necks in adventure. There's the senior staff's safety to confirm, a weird planet to escape, and an alien race that wishes to learn more about mentorship... through a battle royale! Enter Jadzia Dax, Montgomery Scott, Kathyrn Janeway, T'Pol, and Jean-Luc Picard as the mentors and the Lower Deckers as the mentees. May the best student live!

Derek Charm's cover art looks like an homage to Dave Cockrum's X-Men #100 cover from 1976.

#3 Jan 2025
Star Trek: Lower Decks
Solicitation: The crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos have just received their personality guidance reports from the counselors of the planet Clarew, and Rutherford feels guilty he's not engineering at a higher capacity with his implants. He should be operating above 134 percent nominal at least. The Cerritos' next mission is a supply run to Tavela Minor, but they first need to stop by the Alecto system to get some supplies to, uh, supply them with. However, just before they warp, they see the Alecto system isn't only missing; it doesn't exist. Like at all. Now they have a space mystery at hand: What could cause a whole star system to disappear?

#4 Feb 2025
Star Trek: Lower Decks
Solicitation: Rutherford to bridge. We're not dead! However, after escaping a vacuum collapse of the Alecto system, the U.S.S. Cerritos is lost inside a new space-time that's expanding away from us in every direction at the speed of light. To make matters worse, an alien intelligence made of pure energy has possessed Tendi and my bodies, shunting our consciousnesses into the ship's computer. While it's a fun, flirty energy, we'd very much like our bodies back so we can pop the expanding time bubble and save our universe!
