Star Trek: Lower Decks comics discussion

[Charles Phipps]

Hey folks,

I'm a huge Lower Decks fan and while I prefer to think of them as, "exaggerated canon" (ridiculous as such a concept may be as long as Spock's Brain is normal canon), I have to say that I love them in every possible way. So, I'm glad to have the comic books so the adventures of Boimler and Mariner can continue. I think they'll probably be comic-based long before there's a humorous sci-fi novel version (Paramount, call me! JK).

I was curious what people thought and thought it'd be good to have a thread for bringing up the various concepts.

So far?

I actually think quite a few of the 2024 comics are pretty damn DARK. Seriously. The handling of the expanding universe plot and the Time Terrorist were pretty bleak endings.

I did love the miniseries with Holo-Dracula, though.

I haven't read the comics since the culmination of the USS Bonaventure plot. I felt like the resolution was underwhelming and it's put me off the comics. But I'll come back to it.

I'm enjoying the series overall, but I'm not sold yet on the recent writer change. I really miss the footnotes that Ryan North used to include; they were often the funniest parts.
