Day of Blood Starts Here! Immortal emperor of the Klingon Empire, Kahless II has consolidated power, raided ancient tombs and secret bunkers, taken the power of gods for himself, stolen the Bajoran Orb of Destruction, and commenced a slaughter across the stars. But this genocide of gods was just the beginning. For with the power he has stolen, Kahless is about to declare war on all those who do not follow the Red Path. To prevent genocide unlike any since the ancient days of Qo'noS, the crew of icons led by the emissary known as Benjamin Sisko (Star Trek) and the renegades who follow a desperate and violent Worf (Star Trek: Defiant) must unite for a common cause. Only they can hope to stop the Day of Blood.
I’ve been reading the ones that catch my eye for a while now, but the current books involved in this crossover are what really got me from guy who likes both Trek and comics to being interested in actually following Trek comics.
They’re just such blatant fan service in a way that does not feel at all cynical. Big fun.
I’m really looking forward to the Shax-focused one.
I have found the IDW comics hit-and-miss but some of them are great.
The Lower Decks sequence was marvellously well done.
