Star Trek: Lower Decks #9

In "A Pound of Flush," the crew of the Cerritos grows uneasy as Tendi starts acting strangely—her usual enthusiasm replaced by quiet anxiety. When they uncover the cause, it's a debt to a Ferengi trader with a very specific, very literal way of collecting. Written by Tim Sheridan and illustrated by Vernon Smith, with colors by Charlie Kirchoff and letters by Clayton Cowles, this 2025 issue delivers a sharp, character-driven comedy with a side of interstellar bureaucracy, all wrapped in Smith’s expressive art and a cover by Vernon Smith.
