REd ALARm: Are STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS comics on the way? – Comics Beat

Its just a week since the second season finale of Star Trek: Lower Decks was released for streaming on Paramount+, and its already feeling like were in the most unbearable break between seasons since Captain Picard had his name forcibly changed to Locutus of Borg. But theres a light at the end of the wormhole, Lower Deckers: in a Tweet sent on Wednesday, October 20th, 2021, series creator Mike McMahan strongly hinted that Lower Decks books and comics were on the way!

The conversation started when Twitter userOleg Ryzhikov asked why we dont have any Lower Decks comics or books yet.

He soon got a response from John Van Critters, the VP of Star Trek brand development: There are definitely people that know whats up with that, Tweeted Van Critters. Were just pretty good at not leaking stuff.

A couple Tweets later, McMahan confirmed that supposition:

Van Critters dryly replied that they should consider adapting the series to the page, and McMahan replied, Ugh, if only we had been working on this for ages! What were we thinking?

From this exchange, it seems pretty hard to deny that we have Lower Decks tie-in books and comics on the horizon. Theres no details yet on where they might be published, but IDW currently holds the license for Trek comics (as readers of the currently ongoing Year of Mirror are already well aware).

Also, if this exchange with Pulp & Politics is accurate, then we may also have some more delicious tie-in products in our future Im talking about taco seasoning!

This makes sense, since the replicators on California-class vessels (like the Cerritos) are programmed with the best Mexican food in all of Starfleet!

What do you hope to see from the Lower Decks tie-in books and comics, and why is it a Captains Table one-shot comic featuring Captain Carol Freeman? Were waiting to hear from you, Lower Deckers! Let us know what you think, either here in the comment section or over on social media @comicsbeat!
