Shaxs' Best (and Worst) Day

2026

From the humorous world of Lower Decks come two adventures featuring the U.S.S Cerritos’ security chief doing what he does best, fighting fascists, in these comics based on the hit series! See the battle to stop the fascist, god-killing clone Kahless II from declaring war on nonfollowers across the galaxy through the eyes of the man, the myth, the legend, Lieutenant Junior Grade Shaxs! See the Bajoran’s beast-mode brawl showcasing all the behind-the-scenes Klingon-zealot butt-kicking in full animated glory! Then, Shaxs had his best day, but now that the universe has been rewritten by the mad android Lore, he’s about to have his worst. Starfleet has been distorted into a machine of oppression antithetical to everything it once stood for, and Shaxs has been made into the one thing he despises most in the universe: a fascist. Once he's free of Lore’s hold over his mind, it will be up to Shaxs to revert everyone in Starfleet back to their old selves and save the cosmos. For the first time, get both issues by writer Ryan North and artist Derek Charm in one collection! Shaxs’ Best Day was nominated for a 2024 Eisner Award for Best Single Issue/One-Shot and a 2024 Ringo Award for Best Single Issue or Story.

I was born in Taipei, Taiwan, but moved to Canada when I was eight. I enjoy reading, gaming, and writing. It was inevitable that my love of language would intersect with the joys of writing fiction and poetry, specifically in the genres of science fiction, fantasy, and mystery. I am a member of SFWA and the Codex Writers’ Group, as well as the Stop-Watch Gang, a neo-pro speculative fiction critique group in Toronto. I hold a Ph.D. in Linguistics from McGill University, Montreal, Canada. My areas of expertise are Semantics and Sociolinguistics, which means I pay a lot of attention to the meaning of words and the people who use them. I’m interested in how verbs and prepositions work, and how Canadian English varies from region to region. I currently work at Innis College in the University of Toronto as an administrator for the graduate Cinema Studies program, the Writing & Rhetoric program, and the Urban Studies program. The preferred pronunciation of my last name is ‘pie’, like the Greek letter. I go by the handle @wistling on LiveJournal, Twitter, and e-mail. Why? Because I started off with @lingwist initially, then broke it into two syllables and rearranged them. I love anagrams!
