Star Trek (Golden Key Comics)[]
M'Ress while written with the statement of being of feline ancestry was depicted more as an Orion in her one Golden Key Comics appearance.
M'Ress was written into a single Golden Key Comic strip where she was given a minor role in soothing a feline creature. Due to a lack of communication between the writers and artists for this strip (with the writers assuming the artist would be aware of M'Ress from the animated series) M'Ress was depicted as a blue skinned near Human character.
Star Trek (DC)[]
(Her DC comic book appearances such as those in the 'Who Killed Captain Kirk?' story arc)
Star Trek vs Transformers[]
(this IDW four issue comic series was inspired by the idea of a Star Trek: The Animated Series cross over with the 1980s Transformer's cartoon. The continuity established in these four issues are similar to TAS but different, for example, rather than Sulu and Uhura being on the away mission during the episode 'Slaver Weapon' it was Arex and M'Ress)
