My partner and I absolutely love your blog and find a lot of your post’s to be what precisely I’m looking for. Would you offer guest writers to write content for yourself? I wouldn’t mind creating a post or elaborating on a few of the subjects you write about here. Again, awesome web log!

The DS9 artwork is ugly and don’t think any of the main characters are particularly good likenesses.

#22/24 – Whatever the style, that is a terrible O’Brien on that cover. I can go with “style” for the Kira cover of #2, and the same artists did Sisko dead-on for #1.

He looks more like John C. Reilly than Colm Meaney.

#22 :: Amen! As an artist, though not necessarily a comicker, I can tell you that once an artist has developed their style, it is way hard to get out of it. Style is usually why many familiar characters may look strange in print.

Drawing is not easy, especially when it comes to the stranger looking aliens (I can say from experience that Odo is impossible to the tenth power to draw). It’s even harder drawing them over and over, in different angles, perspectives, expressions, and a million other things!

Kind of cool seeing an Edoan in the comics!

As to the likenesses of the drawn characters, I love people who complain about whether the artists can draw or not. Having drawn (and written) a Star Trek comic book when I was in high school… I can telly you, it’s hard!!!

And as far as I can tell the likenesses are close enough that you can tell who they are portraying… so unless you can do better, quit your bellyachin (respectfully)!’

:-D

Nice seeing DS9 get some play in the comics and in print!

I never understood the bastard stepchild attitude until I heard some friends disparaging DS9, which I consider up with the best of what TREK had to offer… esppecially in its ensemble cast, which I though was top-notch.

I loved DS9 from episode one!

#19 He becomes captain before the war broke out actively.

He receives the promotion in the episode “The Adversary” which is the last episode of season three.

The war started in “Call to Arms” at the end of season 5.

How could it be Fourth Season and Before the Dominon war when Sisko only became Captain after the Start of the dominon war?
