NOVEMBER 14, 2022 - Writer David A. Goodman has been around his share of Star Trek and Trek-adjacent properties. He has produced and written or co-written episodes of Star Trek: Enterprise, and he wrote the Star Trek: Federation reference book and the autobiographies of James T. Kirk and Jean-Luc Picard. (Well, OK, he “edited” the latter….) Goodman has also worked on The Orville and Futurama, among other shows. Now, according to CBR, Goodman is writing a new comic book for Dark Horse.
Space Job will also feature art by Álvaro Sarraseca and colors by Jordi Escuin Llorach. Dark Horse describes the comic thus: "It’s the future, and serving aboard the S.S. Bush is the worst job in the fleet. The Captain is every terrible, self-centered boss you’ve ever had, more concerned with what he bought on Space eBay than he is in getting the work done; the Communications Officer always seems to be on a personal call, and nothing gets fixed because the Chief Engineer really is only interested in hitting on his coworkers. They’re on a simple cargo run, and the biggest threat to the ship is the fact that the Operations Officer, the one guy holding it all together, is updating his resume. What could go wrong?"
The first issue of Space Job is due out February 8, 2023. In the meantime, head over to CBR for more on Space Job and David A. Goodman.
David is a contributing writer for Daily Star Trek News on the Roddenberry Podcast Network. He is a librarian, baseball fan, and book and movie buff. He has also written for American Libraries and Skeptical Inquirer. David also enjoys diverse music, but leans toward classical and jazz. He plays a mean radio.
