This two-part miniseries is the prequel to the S2 season finale of the TV series (see "'The Orville"). It follows an alternate timeline where Ed, Kelly, and the crew live separate lives that still put them on a course where they encounter the Kaylon. Dark Horse tapped The Orville's Executive Producer David A. Goodman to pen this book that features art by David Cabeza and colors by Michael Atiyeh.

Dark Horse Comics also released The Orville Season 1.5 last year (see "Dark Horse to Publish 'The Orville Season 1.5'").
