This comic bridges seasons and storylines, offering fans a fresh, original tale that’s faithful to the spirit of the show—blending intelligent storytelling, ethical dilemmas, and thrilling spacefaring adventure.

Written by series executive producer and writer David A. Goodman, this debut issue introduces a gripping mystery that begins when the crew of the USS Orville stumbles upon a long-lost civilisation buried beneath a planetary surface. When the remnants of an ancient artefact are uncovered, Captain Ed Mercer, Commander Kelly Grayson, Lt. Gordon Malloy, and Dr. Claire Finn must work together to determine its origins—and the potentially devastating consequences it holds.

As the mission unfolds, questions arise about whether the artefact’s power should be harnessed, protected, or destroyed. In true Orville fashion, the story balances high-concept science fiction with humour, emotional resonance, and philosophical exploration. The writing retains the show’s signature tone, rewarding long-time fans while welcoming new readers into the universe.

The artwork by David Cabeza, paired with colours by Michael Atiyeh, is vibrant, expressive, and cinematic—perfectly capturing the likeness of the characters and the grandeur of deep space. The ship interiors, alien landscapes, and character emotions are rendered with care and clarity, enhancing the immersive storytelling experience.
