Ryan North

Comics writer — Lower Decks comics

Canadian writer who scripted IDW's Star Trek: Lower Decks comics, including the 2022 miniseries and the 2024 interactive graphic novel Warp Your Own Way.

Ryan North, known for his webcomic work and humorous superhero titles, wrote the first Lower Decks comic for IDW, a three-issue miniseries in 2022 drawn by Chris Fenoglio. It gave the Cerritos crew a holodeck story and an away mission in the manner of the show.
He followed it with the one-shot Shaxs' Best Day and, in 2024, Warp Your Own Way, a graphic novel in which the reader makes choices for Beckett Mariner and gradually uncovers why her day keeps ending in disaster.
Late in 2024 he also wrote the opening issues of IDW's ongoing Lower Decks comic series.
