The second picture seems to show the main character from the first miniseries 20 years later.

OK cool.
After I finished up Asylum, I started borrowed Fantastic Four Vol. 2: Prime Elements written by Johnathan Hickman, with art by Dale Eaglesham from Hoopla and started reading it.

I haven't heard about it before either. Sounds interesting, I wonder if there will be any connections between it and the original Red Shirts?

"This bold and beautiful era of Star Trek comics from IDW is expanding with a new 5-issue limited series called 'Star Trek: Red Shirts - Ghost of the 21st Century'. If you haven't read the first 'Star Trek: Red Shirts' series (by Christopher Cantwell and Megan Levens), fear not, 'Ghost of the 21st Century' works as a standalone story that newbies and seasoned fans alike can jump into."

Ooooh, Cover B of the first issue features an Andorian! The previous mini-series had some great alternative cover art, making it hard to choose -- and sometimes I bought both.

Requoring Therin from the LD forum as I know this got brought up here -

IDW editor Heather Antos recently told the "Star Trek Comics Weekly" FB page:

"The series has ended for this current point in time. Hopefully sales of the trades help encourage future series! Never fear, there is ONE more 'Lower Decks' comics story I know of that hasn't been announced yet..."

Re: Redshirts -- I'm just not a fan of "everyone dies" stories. It's why I ultimately decided to pass on "Coda".

It was the art in Issue #1 that made me not continue with Red Shirts, rather than the plot.

Now we have a comment on Lower Decks, I wonder if Last Starship will be allowed to continue to #12 and then quietly cancelled ahead of Legacy and Zero Point.

Red Shirts was real good.

Well, that is unfortunate, but at least it’s good to know for sure. Although I think I preferred the writing before Ryan North left, LD was still one of my favourite series out of all the recent ones.

Thank you to you and Therin for letting us know.

Yeah, I'm disappointed to hear about Lower Decks, and I do agree about writing. It was definitely better under Ryan North, although this last story arc was almost back up to his quality.

Thanks for the catch on his name; I have corrected it in my post. Not sure what I was thinking there.
