‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ #7 Preview: A Throwback Thursday Story?

The Star Trek franchise is one of the biggest sci-fi franchises of all time and, as you know, the main series has received several iterations and spin-offs. One of them is the Star Trek: Lower Decks series.

Aside from the television series, Lower Decks has also been adapted as a successful comic book and with the next issue coming out soon, we have some preview information for you.

Star Trek: Lower Decks #7 is coming out on May 14, 2025 and IDW Publishing has luckily provided us with the first preview images, which we are going to show you in this report.

Before we continue with the information about the comic, here are the preview images we have for you:

This story is brought to you by Tim Sheridan and artist Robby Cook, and it is going to reveal what happens when different characters dig a bit deeper into their respective pasts. Here’s the official synopsis with more details:

There’s nothing quite like a mother-daughter relationship. There’s also nothing quite like finding out your monolith of a captain used to be a carefree ensign who accidentally vanished her whole crew in an experiment gone wrong. Lucky for Beckett Mariner, she gets to soak up both experiences all on the same day as her mother, Captain Freeman, regales her with a throwback tale of how she was “just like you when she was young,” and “mistakes help us grow, blah, blah.” Meanwhile, all Mariner wants to know is how could Freeman let Pulaski get away with hair like that?
