IDW Publishing is celebrating Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’s 30th Anniversary with a new five-issue comic book series. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - The Dog of War hails from writer Mike Chen and artist Angel Hernandez. The comic will be a “lost episode” set during the show.
An “extremely rare purebred corgi from Earth makes its way aboard Deep Space 9 when Quark cuts a deal to procure it for a potential buyer. After all, a Ferengi without profit is no Ferengi at all! But the corgi named Latinum comes with unexpected cargo that shakes Captain Benjamin Sisko to the core: a Borg component discovered by a crew sent to uncover Cardassian technology after the station’s reoccupation.” (IDW Publishing)
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - The Dog of War #1 (of 5) goes on sale in April 2023. The issue will feature Cover A by Angel Hernandez, a wraparound Cover B by Chris Fenogolio, which will also feature the cast of Star Trek: Lower Decks, and Cover C by Andy Price, which will connect with covers from all five issues to create a diorama of DS9 characters with canine lookalikes. Special Retailer Incentive editions include a black- and-white variant of Hernandez’ cover and two Deep Space 9 schematics variants with and without trade dress.
