Red Shirts have a tendency to die-frequently. They have the unfortunate habit of getting killed off by aliens, blow-up, phasered and generally getting mauled, dismembered and killed.
In IDW/Top Shelf’s Star Trek Red Shirts graphic novel by Christopher Cantwell and Megan Levens a small band of veteran and cadet Red Shirts find themselves stranded on the icy planet Arkonia 89.
Their mission is to hunt down and stop spies from stealing Starfleet secrets. Who are the mysterious adversaries? No one knows for sure-at first.
All the Red Shirts have to do is survive the planet’s many dangers, get rescued and report their findings back to Starfleet. If only it was that easy.
Readers are introduced to the members of the Red Shirts-all with their individual strengths, talents and capabilities. But will those attributes help them survive and can they learn to support one another when danger beckons?
Readers get to witness some of the most brutal, horrendous and dangerous encounters Red Shirts have ever faced. And, in spite of it all they never give up on their mission-despite the danger, death of their comrades and betrayals.
Red Shirts have always been kind of an inside joke to fans of Star Trek. In this graphic novel the Red Shirts get the respect they deserve.
Psalms 31:24Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.
