Star Trek: Shaxs’ Best (and Worst) Day

Standard Cover MSRP: $8.99 USD

Written by Derek Charm and Ryan North.

From the humorous world of Lower Decks comes two adventures featuring the U.S.S Cerritos’ security chief doing what he does best, fighting fascists, in these comics based on the hit series!
See the battle to stop the fascist, god-killing clone Kahless II from declaring war on non-followers across the galaxy from the eyes of the man, the myth, the legend, Lieutenant Junior Grade Shaxs! See the Bajoran’s beast-mode brawl showcasing all the behind-the-scenes Klingon-zealot butt-kicking in full animated glory!
Then, Shaxs had his best day, but now that the universe has been rewritten by the mad android Lore, he’s about to have his worst. Starfleet has been distorted into a machinery of oppression antithetical to everything it once stood for, and Shaxs has been made into the one thing he despises most in the universe: a fascist. Now free of Lore’s hold over his mind, it’s up to Shaxs to revert everyone in Starfleet back to their old selves and save the cosmos.
For the first time, get both issues by writer Ryan North and artist Derek Charm in one collection! Shaxs’ Best Day was nominated for a 2024 Eisner Award for Best Single Issue/One-Shot and a 2024 Ringo Award for Best Single Issue or Story.

THE BEGINNING OF A NEW CHAPTER!
First Officer Wowie Carter was once called the child without fear. But with the Federation in freefall and Earth still reeling from a brutal Klingon assault, fear is all that remains—and Wowie is cracking under its weight.
The U.S.S. Omega’s mission is clear: Gather the final delegates for the Babel Conference, the Federation’s last, fragile chance at unity. A future of peace still seems possible…on paper. But every time Wowie returns to Earth, the home they once loved slips further into despair.
As alliances fracture and chaos spreads, Wowie faces a question no one dares ask: What’s left to save when hope is already gone?

The galaxy map in this issue is almost the same as the one previously used by the authors in Lore War #1. And I find fault with it.

This issue labels the implied Kazon homeworld as just "Kazon" instead of "Kazari" from Lore War #1. I could not tell you which is supposed to be the error as I do not believe anything before Kelly, Lanzing, and Cantwell at IDW ever named the Kazon homeworld.

Recurring, the Borg homeworld is called "Borg Prime", a generic descriptor which I think was first used in Star Charts, instead of an actual name like "Arehaz" from the Destiny novel trilogy.

Recurring, the Founders' current homeworld is called "The Great Link" instead of an actual name like "Empersa" from Star Trek Online.

Recurring, the Wadi homeworld is called "Wadis" in contrast to "Oason" from Star Trek Adventures by Modiphius Entertainment or "Tomerela IV" from Last Unicron Games, which is valid but surprising given how much surface-level Memory Beta research the authors have repeatedly done.

Why is "Vulcan" labeled as such? The first issue had the lead admiral mention "Ni'Var", per DIS 3.07 implying reunification had happened well before the Burn.

The long-destroyed "Romulus" is still indicated on the map. Given the obvious status of Ni'Var society, this feels extremely pointless to me unless it indicates a future story in this series.

The long-sterilized "Organia" is still indicated on the map. Also feels pointless to me unless it indicates a future story in this series, which would be a highly questionable narrative choice given that the Star Trek: Omega coda one-shot specifically had Lily Sato comment T'Lir would look great aging into grey hair.

Why wouldn't this map include Babel, the focus of the current arc?

Just as the case of the missing Laapeerians was about to come together, the Cerritos was heavily damaged in a dogfight against an unidentified vessel and forced to return to Federation space…without the away team.
Repairs on the Cerritos are bound to take weeks, but Captain Freeman and Mariner aren’t about to sit around and wait when they have an abandoned away team to rescue—especially one under Boimler’s command.
Together, they formulate a heist to steal a decommissioned starship and mount a daring rescue before their unknown assailants blast Laapoonia, and their crew members, away.

The conclusion we’ve all been waiting for! One last epic, soaring moment with the crew of the Voyager awaits…
Captain Janeway and her crew are prisoners of Species 8472 on their organic, ever-changing ship, and the Voyager is similarly snared in its clutches. But not all is lost. Imprisoned with them are the rebel Species 8472 who once posed as Starfleet members Boothby and Archer—and they hold the secret to their escape.
All that stands between them and their homecoming now is Species 8472’s revenge-bent captain…and the issue of how to open up a singularity into Earth’s space.

the writing in Homecoming isn't amazing, and full of weird errors

the Doctor called the rebellious 8472 by their name without ever hearing it, and for some reason referred to Seven as 'Nine'

Also the cover(?) art for the upcoming SFA comic has them 23rd Century Discovery EV suits

Comics edited by Heather Antos are often full of errors. Sometimes there are entire scenes missing that are crucial to the plot.
